A statement noted the September exploration program on the Caniapisc Au project will include geological mapping combined with prospecting and a soil sampling program to follow up on the several recent Au-Zn-Mn-Ag and Au-Zn-Ag-(Pb)-bearing boulders identified during the 2025 summer program. A 1,827 kilometres magnetic and electromagnetic geophysical survey is planned on the Caniapisc Au project.

MD said the map designation of two new projects involves Lac Bernard and Viau, in the Caniapisc Au project area, covering clusters of Au, Cu, Zn, or Mo lake bottom anomalies from the MRNF's regional database. It added that the lake bottom sediment sampling survey covering parts of the Caniapisc Au, Lac Bernard and Viau projects has been completed, with results pending.
