KO Gold starts drilling at Smylers gold project in New Zealand Otago district
  • KO Gold started reverse-circulation drilling, with follow-up diamond tails on deeper holes, at its 100%-owned Smylers Gold Exploration Permit in Otago, New Zealand, as first phase of its 2026 drilling campaign.
  • Program targets strike continuity along Hyde-Macraes Shear Zone near OceanaGold’s Macraes mine, stepping out from 2021 drilling that returned gold intersections.
  • Initial assay results expected in Q3 2026, following sample preparation and analysis at an independent SGS laboratory under standard QA/QC.
  • Rig expected to move next to Carrick permit once land access is finalized, with drilling planned to twin historical intersections in Carrick Goldfield.
