VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Canadian Goldfields Discovery Corp. (TSX-V: CGM, OTCQB: CGMXF) ("Canadian Goldfields" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that its inaugural, fully funded 1,500 metre diamond drill program at the Company's 100%-owned Swayze Central Gold Project ("Swayze Central") in Ontario is expected to commence on July 21, 2026. The Company has executed a drilling contract with Gateway Drilling Ltd. ("Gateway") to complete the program.
The drill program builds on the Company's recently announced soil geochemical survey at Swayze Central, which is targeting to collect approximately 6,000 soil samples over a three-month period. This survey is focused on areas surrounding known mineralization, historical drill targets and additional prospective areas identified through the Company's review of historical geological data.
The commencement of drilling in the next 7 days represents a significant acceleration of exploration activities at Swayze Central. The inaugural drill program is designed to test new targets identified through the Company's ongoing geological review of historic data while evaluating selected historical drill intercepts. Results from the program will enhance the Company's understanding of the project and guide future exploration.
Ian Dasti, P.Geo, Vice President Exploration, commented: "Exploration activity at Swayze Central is rapidly advancing on multiple fronts, with drilling commencing alongside our ongoing soil sampling program. Our fully funded drill program will test targets generated through our review of historical geological data while also evaluating selected historical drill intercepts. Together, these programs will provide important information in establishing new targets for future exploration across the project."
Further updates will be provided as the drill program progresses.
