Inaugural Drilling Complete: Enduro Metals Prepares for Fall Assay Results
CEO.CA Sep 8, 2026 8:24
Summary
Under new management from the 2025 Commander Resources merger, Enduro Metals wrapped up its inaugural seven-hole drill program at Andrei.
First-pass core shows porphyry indicators, the large copper-gold deposit style sought here, plus epithermal alteration in two other holes.
The 2021 Burgundy discovery — 331 meters at 0.36 gold and 0.29 copper — is being revisited as copper and gold prices climb.
A gold system dormant since 1987 at Camp Zone returned roughly 110 grams over six centimeters and needs systematic work-up.
Cameron expects assays mid-to-late fall while IP geophysics, mapping conductive ground, extends the 14-kilometer trend drilled over just four kilometers.
Robert Cameron's takeaways
- Top takeaway Top point: he argues the first pass at Andre is encouraging but early, stressing that only about 4 km of a 14 km trend has been tested and that the rest of the season's work is about documenting the remainder and converting it into future targets rather than claiming a discovery.
- He is deliberately conservative on timing, saying the labs have not given a date and are heavily backed up, so results should realistically land around mid-fall 2026.
- He ranks targets by drillability as well as geology — Burgundy and the 72 zone are high-elevation, rugged and challenging, while Andre is low-elevation and easier, and Camp Zone is easier still — and says that risk ranking is what shifts his priorities.
- He justifies returning to the Burgundy target despite its difficult location because the geology resembles nearby Galore Creek, because copper and gold prices have accelerated, and because he calls it a standout discovery that was never followed up.
- He attributes his attraction to Newmont Lake to the project's size, its copper-gold porphyry potential demonstrated by Burgundy, and its Golden Triangle setting, which he calls one of the top porphyry copper-gold jurisdictions in North America, with the KSM project, Glor Creek and the Red Chris mine nearby.
