Gold Hunter Resources Inc (Private search engine: chase; OTCCP: HNTRF; WKN: A2QPAL) announced the start of drilling for its 2026 inaugural drilling program, targeting up to 10,000 meters at the Great Northern Project, in Newfoundland. Gold Hunter is a Newfoundland-focused gold exploration company exploring this region-wide project, a consolidated 26,237-hectare land package with known gold mineralization, well-established infrastructure, and a fully funded inaugural drilling campaign.
The program will target high-priority areas identified through the company’s data-driven workflow, including a region-wide geophysical survey and machine learning targeting analysis of massive historical data, completed in 2025, identifying multiple areas of interest along the Doucers Valley fault structure.
Diamond drilling and infrastructure support services are provided by MCL Drilling, based in Deer Lake, Newfoundland, about 85 km south of the project.
The program is led by Vice President of Exploration, Ruri Koteloglu, and managed by Equity Exploration Consultants Ltd., a top-tier geological consulting firm with nearly 40 years of experience managing large, complex drilling programs.
The program is structured around three strategic pillars: regional exploration along the gold-bearing structural flats of the Doucers Valley Fault, which extends up to 10 km from the main corridor, on the property; State-of-the-art drilling at Thor Deposit and across the Viking Block; And check out the digs to appreciate the historic Ratling Brook.
The Thor deposit hosts a mineral resource estimate of 879,000 tonnes indicated at 1.79 g/t gold (51,000 oz Au) and 67,000 inferred tonnes at 1.97 g/t Au (4,200 oz Au), as detailed in Technical Report NI 43-101 and Mineral Resource Estimate for the Thor Deposit, Viking Project, White Bay District, Newfoundland (as of July 12 2024).
The target priorities were determined through the company’s region-wide 2025 geophysical survey, coupled with data collection and interpretation by the technical team, and also complemented by machine learning targeting analysis completed by Windfall Geotek.
Sean Kingsley, President and CEO of Gold Hunter, commented: “The start of our inaugural drilling program is one of the most significant milestones achieved to date at Gold Hunter. Since incorporating this area, we have completed the disciplined and methodical work required to excavate from a site of knowledge, reinterpreting decades of historical data and applying a rigorous data-driven workflow to prioritize our targets. For the first time, this land package is being explored at a district level as a cohesive opportunity. We look forward to providing updates on our progress as drilling continues.“
Gold Hunter Resources uses a data-driven approach to exploration, combining modern technologies with historical data sets to identify and develop region-wide opportunities.
Following the successful divestiture of its first consolidated area to FireFly Metals Ltd., Gold Hunter has assembled the Great Northern Project, covering 26,237 hectares and more than 35 kilometers of strike length along the prospective Doucers Valley fault structure in Newfoundland.
Within the Dossers Valley Fault, more than 50 km of potential faults and secondary faults with known mineralization and potential for additional mineralization have been identified.
