Approval From USBLM To Begin Core Drilling & Permitting Evaluation For Rosebud

TORONTO – Blossom Gold Inc. reported that Investmin Resources (Nevada) Inc., Blossom’s wholly owned subsidiary, has received approval from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (USBLM or BLM) to begin work under the Notice of Intent (NOI) filed with the BLM for the initiation of core drilling and permitting evaluation for the recently acquired Rosebud Project, in Pershing County, Nevada.
Blossom’s planned disturbance under the NOI reflects the construction of 29 drill pads that will be used for both metallurgical sampling (8 PQ core holes) and resource drilling (HQ core) across the resource pit shell of its current 70.8 Mton inferred mineral resource, as well as along its margins, to expand the open pit resource and upgrade its resource classification. Additionally, these locations will be used to drill geotechnical, geochemical and hydrological holes in support of the Project’s Plan of Operations, Environmental Impact Statement and Feasibility Study.
Earthworks associated with establishing a laydown area to support the drilling operations has begun and will be followed by the systematic construction of drill pads. Major Drilling has been contracted to provide services with four drill rigs for an expected 80,000 feet (24,384m) of core drilling. The first rig is expected to arrive, and the first metallurgical hole collared. The additional rigs will then arrive and be assigned zones to drill. All four rigs are expected to be in operation by mid-April with the entire drilling program expected to be completed by the end of Q2 2026.
