The company has received a Record of Decision on its Mojave Project in Inyo County, California completing a full Environmental Impact Statement process that typically applies to mine development, not exploration drilling. That distinction matters. K2 Gold navigated this regulatory gauntlet as an exploration-stage company, and in doing so has established a permitting position that competitors will find difficult and time-consuming to replicate.\nThe Mojave Project's east side gold trend is the primary near-term focus. Multiple parallel stacked oxide structures, dipping at approximately 70 degrees to the west, run across a 500-metre wide corridor along a 5 km trend. Mineralisation begins at surface, all material drilled to date is oxide, and the deepest planned holes average 220 to 250 metres without any previous operator having intersected the sulphide interface. Early shake-test metallurgical work has returned recoveries of 96–98%, a directionally positive early signal for processing simplicity, though systematic work remains ahead.\nThe Dragonfly target, where K2 Gold's 2020 highlight hole returned 86.9 metres at 4 g/t gold, anchors the east side programme. Eighteen drill pads are fully permitted across this zone, each accommodating four holes and positioned to be 43-101 resource compliant. Management's stated priority for 2026, however, is not resource definition but rather for target testing. The company has more high-priority undrilled ground than it can drill in a single season, which is a function of the project's scale rather than a limitation of capital or access.\nThe most significant undrilled target is located 1.5 kilometres north of Dragonfly, on the same structural system....","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/1wv-MFlQAgnm-ca64e5kK4984dZB0os8-HJdRVsI74M/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzEzNTcyLzE2MjM5/NTQyMDctYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
