PJ Murphy, CEO and Director of Forge Resources Corp. (CSE: FRG | OTCQB: FRGGF | FSE: 5YZ), highlights the company’s 2026 drill campaign in Canada’s Yukon, where every previous hole has hit near-surface mineralization. With a winter of geochemical, geophysical, and drilling data interpretation behind it, Forge Resources has defined new targets to pinpoint high-grade zones in what it calls its biggest, most targeted campaign yet.
Data-driven targeting sharpens Forge’s 2026 drilling
Unlike many early-stage explorers, Forge Resources is drilling on a project that has never previously been drilled and is demonstrating the potential to host widespread, near-surface mineralization since its maiden drill program in late 2023. Since then, the company has undertaken numerous geological studies and refined 3D models to optimize drilling success in 2026. According to PJ Murphy, “We looked at all that data, and we created a 3D model that now allows us to target the highest outcome holes possible.”
The model reduces guesswork and concentrates the 2026 program on the strongest gold and copper zones identified to date. The company is directing metres to follow up its best targets, but also believes the best is yet to be found and will be targeting new, untested targets.
Yukon gold market builds investor opportunity
With continued investor interest in gold and copper and in secure, mining-friendly jurisdictions, Forge Resources sits in a Yukon district long associated with gold and copper: the Dawson Range Gold Belt. The company’s prior drilling has returned highlights of 1.04 grams per tonne of gold over 55.53 metres and 3.4 grams per tonne of gold over 44.7 metres, demonstrating both grade and width within the target system. By focusing the 2026 campaign on expanding around these high-grade zones, the company aims to offer investors early-stage, leveraged exposure to discovery potential in an established Canadian jurisdiction, with a clearly defined target set guiding the coming year’s capital.
2026 drill campaign milestones and plans
Recent milestones include a winter-long technical review culminating in a new 3D geophysical model, new targets with strong potential for porphyry mineralization, and the company’s largest drill campaign to date. PJ Murphy says the focus is clear: “2026, biggest drill campaign ever, and it’s going to be the most targeted, where we’re going to hit those high gold zones and test new exciting porphyry targets.” These steps advance Forge toward defining the system’s scale, and results from the 2026 program are expected to serve as the company’s next catalyst.
Forge Resources targets a breakout 2026
As Forge Resources enters its largest, most focused drill campaign to date, with exciting intercepts already in hand and a new 3D model directing the program, the company is positioned to turn that work into its next round of results across its Yukon gold project.

PJ Murphy
Forge Resources is excited to announce our 2026 drill campaign in the Yukon. This past winter, we spent the time to look at all our geochemical and geophysical data, as well as the results from all our previous holes. Each one hit surface mineralization, top to bottom. We looked at all that data, and we created a 3D model that now allows us to target the highest outcome holes possible.
We’re so excited. Our geologists are excited. Our team is excited. 2026, biggest drill campaign ever, and it’s going to be the most targeted, where we’re going to hit those high gold zones, those same gold zones that produced (correction: two grams per tonne over 78 metres, including 3.4 grams per tonne of gold over 45 metres last year).
So 2026 is going to be the year for Forge Resources.
