Toogood Gold's Table Mountain Sits in the Sha...

Dallas, USA, September 16th, 2026, FinanceWire

Toogood Gold Corp. announced the definition of two priority exploration corridors at its Table Mountain Gold-Silver Project in Lincoln County, Nevada, and plans to advance the project toward a 3,000-meter maiden drill program. The company’s Phase 1 fieldwork identified the Widowmaker and Pacifico trends as priority targets within the project’s approximately 4-by-2-kilometer alteration footprint. Toogood holds an option to earn a 100% interest in the low-sulphidation epithermal system, which has never been drilled and is located roughly 9 kilometers south of Nevada King’s past-producing Atlanta Gold Mine.

The project was generated by Orogen Royalties through a regional exploration approach that included airborne spectral data — the same method behind identifying the Silicon project and later a 4+ Moz Au discovery by AngloGold Ashanti. Orogen’s senior management has called Table Mountain the best greenfields opportunity the company has generated.

Phase 1 fieldwork defined two priority corridors. The Widowmaker trend is an arcuate structure running more than 5 kilometers through the core of the system, with the Widowmaker vein exposed intermittently over more than 1 kilometer, with a train of epithermal vein float extending for an additional kilometer. About 500 meters east, the subparallel Pacifico trend adds more than 5 kilometers of cumulative mapped fault trace, and also hosts structurally controlled epithermal veins. Lattice-textured quartz is widespread across Table Mountain, in both veins and hydrothermal breccias — this texture is a signature of boiling, the process that drops gold and silver out of solution in systems of this type. The surface dataset includes >6,400 soil samples, 1,688 gravity stations, and 780 line-kilometers of drone magnetics, with analytical results from the current Phase 1 program still pending. Zonge International is running roughly 15 line-kilometers of CSAMT across both corridors this month, and SWCA Environmental Consultants is advancing Notice of Intent permitting for a 3,000-meter maiden drill program planned for late 2026 or early 2027.

The technical bench is deeper than the stage suggests. CEO Colin Smith is a geologist who came through the Discovery Group and SSR Mining; VP Exploration Lee Hess is a structural geologist specializing in Great Basin epithermal systems, also formerly of SSR Mining; and technical advisor Dr. Stuart Simmons, with more than 40 years on epithermal systems, concluded the surface exposures represent the upper levels of a well-preserved system with widespread evidence of boiling.

Investors should keep the stage in view. Table Mountain has no mineral resource and has never been drilled; analytical results from the current Phase 1 program remain pending, and Toogood holds the project under an earn-in option rather than outright ownership. Everything described above is surface work whose purpose is to decide where the first drill goes.

Nevada's Gold Pipeline: From First Drilling to 100 Million Ounces

Gold is trading in the $4,300-$4,400 range, and investors following it want two things at once: exposure to the metal and a jurisdiction with an established mining industry and relatively predictable rules. That combination keeps pulling capital back to Nevada. The state hosts the largest gold-mining complex on earth, a bench of past-producing mines being brought back to life, and explorers advancing prospects that remain much earlier in development — like Toogood. The names investors talk about sit at different points on that curve, and the market prices each stage differently.

The Two That Set the Terms

Barrick Mining Corporation (NYSE: B) (TSX: ABX) and Newmont Corporation (NYSE: NEM) own Nevada Gold Mines, the joint venture spanning the Carlin, Cortez, Turquoise Ridge and Phoenix districts, at 61.5% and 38.5% respectively. On August 10, the two companies ended years of disputes with an agreement that folds Barrick's Fourmile discovery and Newmont's Fiberline and Mike developments into the joint venture, with Newmont paying Barrick $1.95 billion cash for the difference in contributed value. Barrick says the agreement expands the Nevada complex to nearly 100 million ounces. The settlement also cleared Newmont's consent for Barrick's planned IPO of its North American gold business, expected to complete by year-end.

Nearly every ounce in that complex started as somebody's exploration target. Fourmile, the discovery Barrick has called one of the century's greatest, came out of ground beside a mine that had been operating for decades. The rest of the Nevada pipeline is built on that pattern.

Three Juniors Further Along the Curve

Each of the three below has crossed a threshold Toogood hasn't: drilling has defined a mineral resource. Their figures aren't directly comparable — one reports measured-and-indicated oxide ounces, one reports inferred ounces only, and one reports gold-equivalent ounces that fold in silver at elevated metal prices.

Nevada King Gold Corp. (TSXV: NKG) (OTCQB: NKGFF) owns the 130-square-kilometer Atlanta Gold Mine project, a past-producing open pit with a 1.02-million-ounce measured-and-indicated oxide resource, immediately north of Toogood's ground. It's at the district-expansion stage: the company doubled its 2026 drill program to 40,000 meters, and by late August a fourth rig was testing new targets around the historical pit, including an undrilled 500-by-300-meter zone.

Scorpio Gold Corp. (NASDAQ: SGLD) (TSX-V: SGLD) consolidated the Manhattan District in Nye County, about 20 kilometers south of Kinross's (NYSE: KGC) (TSX: K) Round Mountain mine, combining its Goldwedge mine and mill with four past-producing pits acquired from Kinross in 2021. It's at the maiden-resource stage: an estimate effective June 2025 holds 740,000 inferred ounces at 1.26 g/t gold, and a 32,585-meter Phase Two program has tested well beyond the resource pit shell, with recent results including 3.02 g/t gold over 48.92 meters.

Lahontan Gold Corp. (TSX-V: LG) (OTCQB: LGCXF) is at the restart-permitting stage. Its Santa Fe Mine in Mineral County produced roughly 359,000 ounces of gold and 702,000 ounces of silver by heap leaching between 1988 and 1995. An updated resource effective August 13, 2026 carries 1,195,000 gold-equivalent ounces indicated and 1,190,000 inferred, calculated at $3,200 gold and $40 silver. A revised preliminary economic assessment is targeted for September, permitting is underway, and the company is targeting 2027 for construction.

Nevada King, Scorpio and Lahontan are each several years and tens of thousands of drill meters past the point Toogood is at now, and the two majors are decades past it. Whether Toogood follows a similar path depends first on what the maiden program finds. For now, the company is doing the groundwork next door to one of the most active drill programs in the state, in a jurisdiction where successful exploration has repeatedly attracted much larger pools of capital, which is enough to warrant some attention.

About Toogood Gold Corp.

Toogood Gold Corp. is a Canadian exploration company focused on the discovery and advancement of high-grade gold systems in tier-one mining jurisdictions. The Company has two core areas of focus: the Table Mountain Project in Nevada, where the Company has an option to earn a 100% interest in a large, undrilled low-sulphidation epithermal system with extensive surface alteration and multiple mineralized vein exposures; and the district-scale Toogood Gold Project in Newfoundland, where the Company has an option to earn a 100% interest in a 164 km² land package covering a highly underexplored gold district with multiple target areas and demonstrated gold prospectivity.
