Athena Gold's New High-Grade Gold Discovery at Laird Lake

Athena Gold Corporation reported significant findings from its 2025 exploration program at the Laird Lake gold project in Ontario's Red Lake District. A new discovery, the Rigby showing, returned up to 20.8 g/t gold from surface sampling. The exploration traced the gold-rich structure over 40 meters, with potential extensions in both directions.

Additionally, the Nemo and Hugo targets showed anomalous gold in volcanic outcrops, reinforcing the potential across the property. Athena plans to launch a drill program in early 2026. The program will test high-priority targets using historical data and geophysical technology to enhance mineralization mapping.

The company employed rigorous QA/QC protocols for sampling and analysis. Athena’s exploration success highlights the strategic value of its assets in a competitive gold district.
