Tiger Gold Corp. Drills 120 m Step-out at Ceibal, Intersects 226 m at 0.6 g/t Au Including 10 m at 3.0 g/t Au
Overview
Tiger Gold Corp. (TSXV: TIGR) (FSE: D150) (OTCQB: TGRGF) has reported drill results from the first hole of its ongoing 5,000-metre diamond drilling program at the Ceibal target at its Quinchiá Gold Project in Colombia’s Mid-Cauca gold belt, according to a news release dated May 13, 2026. Drillhole CEDDH-009, a 120-metre step-out hole, intersected broad near-surface gold mineralization across multiple composite intervals. Drilling at Ceibal forms part of Tiger’s broader 20,000-metre drill program at Quinchiá, which is ongoing with three diamond drill rigs active across the project.
Key Highlights
- CEDDH-009 intersected 52 m at 0.7 g/t Au from surface, including 12 m at 1.5 g/t Au from surface
- CEDDH-009 also returned 226 m at 0.6 g/t Au from 76 m downhole, including 10 m at 3.0 g/t Au from 94 m downhole
- A third composite of 46 m at 0.2 g/t Au was returned from 314 m downhole
- CEDDH-009 is a 120-metre step-out from previously drilled holes at Ceibal
- The 10-metre higher-grade interval of 3.0 g/t Au is hosted entirely within magmatic breccia
- Three diamond drill rigs are active across the Quinchiá Gold Project, including two at Ceibal
- Additional assays are pending from CEDDH-010, completed to a drilled length of 707.7 metres
Operational and Geological Context
The Ceibal target is located approximately 1 kilometre south of the Miraflores deposit and 1 kilometre southwest of the Tesorito deposit within the Quinchiá Gold Project. The target is coincident with a sub-circular Au-Mo surface geochemical anomaly with an approximate 800-metre by 600-metre footprint, which defines the exploration area for Tiger’s initial 5,000-metre drill program at Ceibal, according to the company.
Drilling to date has intersected mineralization over an apparent strike length of at least 300 metres and an apparent average width of approximately 300 metres. Mineralization has been traced to depths of up to 500 metres below surface within andesite-dacite porphyry, porphyritic diorite, and magmatic-hydrothermal breccia host rocks, the company reported. The mineralized corridor remains open to the north-northwest, the south-southeast, and to the southwest.
The company noted that magmatic breccias are of particular interest because they can act as conduits for mineralizing fluids and, in some porphyry systems, are associated with higher-grade zones.
Management Commentary
Robert Vallis, President & CEO, commented: “Tiger’s first results from Ceibal represent a strong and exciting start to our drill program. CEDDH-009 is a 120-metre step-out hole. It returned a broad 226-metre interval of near-surface gold mineralization grading 0.6 g/t Au, including a higher-grade 10-metre interval grading 3 g/t Au hosted within magmatic breccia. These results confirm the presence of a significant mineralized system and highlight the potential of this high-priority target. We expect a steady flow of results from Ceibal, Tesorito, and Dos Quebradas in the coming weeks.”
Previous Drilling and Program Scope
CEDDH-009 extends the long, near-surface gold mineralization previously drilled at Ceibal. Prior operator LCL Resources Limited drilled eight holes (CEDDH-001 through CEDDH-008) at Ceibal between 2021 and 2022, totalling 5,433.76 metres. Select highlights from those programs include:
- CEDDH-001: 500 m at 0.5 g/t Au from surface
- CEDDH-002: 579.1 m at 0.5 g/t Au from 7.5 m downhole, including 6 m at 1.1 g/t Au and 6 m at 1.5 g/t Au
- CEDDH-003: 466 m at 0.4 g/t Au from surface, including 5.7 m at 1.1 g/t Au
- CEDDH-004: 362 m at 0.4 g/t Au from 2 m downhole, including 6 m at 1.5 g/t Au and 6 m at 1.1 g/t Au
- CEDDH-005: 351.6 m at 0.4 g/t Au from 160.7 m downhole
- CEDDH-006: 248.3 m at 0.4 g/t Au from 538 m downhole
The Ceibal target has now been tested by nine drillholes totalling approximately 5,900 metres. The geometry, true thickness, lateral extent, and continuity of mineralization at Ceibal have not been defined by drilling, according to the company.
What to Watch Next
- Assay results from CEDDH-010, completed at 707.7 metres, currently pending
- Ongoing drilling at CEDDH-012, approximately 70 metres further northeast of CEDDH-010
- A cross section to be presented in a subsequent news release once assay results from CEDDH-010 are available and CEDDH-012 is complete
- A steady flow of results from Ceibal, Tesorito, and Dos Quebradas, as anticipated by management
