Lux Metals Corp. Continues Exploration at La Grande Gold Project
Lux Metals Corp. (TSX Venture: LXM) reported continued drilling activity at its La Grande Gold Project in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Québec. The company’s most recent public updates, released on 15 October 2026, confirm ongoing work in Zone 32 and provide a first assay report from the initial drill hole.
1. First Assay Results – Hole LG26‑241
On 14 October 2026, Lux Metals issued a press release detailing the assay outcomes of its first diamond drill hole, LG26‑241. The hole intersected 17.57 g/t gold (Au) over 19.50 m, with a 39.08 g/t Au grade over an 8 m interval located at 220.5 m down‑hole. A single sample returned 165 g/t Au over 1 m, demonstrating high‑grade potential. The intercept lies more than 40 m from a previously known historical interval, confirming the grade and continuity of Zone 32. The mineralized interval is hosted within sheared tonalite, exhibiting sericite alteration, disseminated chalcopyrite‑pyrite, and quartz‑chlorite veins with visible gold specks. The results suggest that the shear‑hosted gold‑copper system reported by previous operators has been preserved.
2. Drilling Program Objectives
The company’s current drilling program focuses on:
| Objective | Description |
|---|---|
| Confirm grade and continuity of Zone 32 | Increase drill density to support a future NI‑43‑101 compliant resource estimate. |
| Expand known mineralization | Target down‑plunge and along‑strike extensions. |
| Refine structural and alteration models | Provide data to better understand mineralization control. |
Two additional holes are planned at depth to further test the continuity of Zone 32.
3. Corporate Update – 15 October 2026
In a corporate update released on 15 October 2026, Lux Metals reiterated its commitment to the La Grande project. The company confirmed that drilling is ongoing and that assays for all remaining holes are pending. The update highlighted the significance of the first results, stating that the “first hole Lux has drilled at La Grande…delivered…the same style of shear‑hosted gold‑copper mineralization the previous operators reported.”
