Cariboo Rose Resources Ltd. Provides Exploration Update on Multiple BC Projects
Vancouver, British Columbia — September 29, 2026 — Leads & Copy — Cariboo Rose Resources Ltd. is actively advancing its portfolio of seven exploration projects in British Columbia, focusing on gold and copper. Four projects target gold, while three are centered on copper. The company has recently completed drilling programs on two of its key properties, with analytical results pending.
An option partner, BRS Resources Ltd., funded a four-hole, 1,293-meter drill program on Cariboo Rose's Cowtrail Copper-Gold Project. This project, located in the Cariboo Region, is adjacent to Vizsla Copper Corp.'s Woodjam Copper Gold Project. The final hole of the program was halted in visible mineralization at a depth of 562 meters. Analytical results for all four holes are still awaited from the assayer.
Following the Cowtrail drilling, Cariboo Rose initiated its own four-hole, 1,062-meter drill program at the Lightning Strike Gold Project, situated northeast of 100 Mile House, BC. Three of these holes have undergone initial processing, and samples have been sent to the lab. Cutting and sampling are ongoing for the fourth hole. No analytical results have been received for this program yet.
The company also highlighted the potential of its Pat and Carruthers Pass copper projects, in addition to the Cowtrail copper-gold project, noting a recent shift in communication towards its gold projects. Cariboo Rose Resources has historically disseminated more news regarding its gold prospects than its copper assets.
The Pat Copper Project, located 65 kilometers east of Williams Lake, BC, encompasses the Patenaude Lake Airborne Magnetic Anomaly. Discovered by the Geological Survey of Canada in 1968, this anomaly in Quesnel Terrane rocks shares similarities in shape, size, and strength with the magnetic anomaly underlying Imperial Metals Corporation's Mount Polley Mine, located 35 kilometers to the northwest. The Pat Copper Project is contiguous with Vizsla Copper Corp.'s Woodjam copper gold project. Cariboo Rose Resources, formerly Wildrose Resources, has held claims in this area since 2004 and has previously drilled seven diamond holes without fully explaining the magnetic response.
Carruthers Pass Project in northern BC, south of the Kemess copper-gold mine, features massive sulfide mineralization first discovered by Freeport McMoRan Copper and Gold in 1997. Cariboo Rose earned a 100% interest in this project from Freeport in 2012. A significant mineralized slab of rock, estimated at several hundred tons, protruding from talus, yielded a diamond drill intercept of 3.1 meters grading 6.2% copper, 5.8% zinc, 2.37 g/t gold, and 192.0 g/t silver. Recent work in 2022, costing approximately $2.0 million, included a VTEM electromagnetic airborne survey and four diamond drill holes. Numerous untested geochemical and geophysical targets remain, some showing highly anomalous cobalt values. A coincident Cu-Zn geochemical anomaly runs parallel to the host stratigraphy for several kilometers.
