Fairchild Gold and TerraEye launch property-wide satellite spectral mapping program at Golden Arrow, Nevada
AI-assisted mineral and alteration mapping will provide an independent, property-wide exploration layer across underexplored ground beyond the known Gold Coin and Hidden Hill deposits.
Wrocław, Poland / Vancouver, Canada - Fairchild Gold Corp. (TSXV: FAIR) has engaged TerraEye to undertake a property-wide satellite-based spectral mapping and structural interpretation program at the Company's 100%-owned Golden Arrow Gold-Silver Project, located approximately 35 miles east of Tonopah in Nye County, Nevada.
The program is designed to provide a broad, objective first-pass assessment of surface mineralogical and alteration signatures across the entire Golden Arrow property, with particular emphasis on underexplored areas outside the known Gold Coin and Hidden Hill deposits and around the past-producing mine workings on the property. TerraEye will integrate satellite spectral analysis, image enhancement, structural lineament interpretation and AI-assisted pattern recognition to identify areas warranting geological review and field follow-up.
Golden Arrow: Established Resource Base, Broader Exploration Opportunity
Golden Arrow hosts a current NI 43-101 mineral resource of approximately 295,000 ounces of gold and 4.36 million ounces of silver in the measured and indicated categories at the drilling-defined Gold Coin and Hidden Hill deposits, with additional inferred resources. More than 61,000 metres of historical drilling has been completed on the project since the early 1980s, with the majority concentrated in the two known deposit centres.
Beyond these established centres, numerous historic Au-Ag prospects and small mine workings occur across the broader property - an established resource surrounded by extensive, comparatively underexplored ground.
"Golden Arrow already provides Fairchild with an established gold-silver resource and more than 61 kilometres of historical drilling, but the strategic opportunity extends well beyond Gold Coin and Hidden Hill. Much of the historical work was concentrated around those two known gold-silver resource centres, while the broader property contains numerous old mine workings, mineral-host structural features, and areas that have never been evaluated with today's exploration tools.
Our objective is to step back and look at Golden Arrow as one mineralized district rather than simply as two known deposits. TerraEye gives us an independent, property-wide layer that can help identify alteration patterns and structural relationships that may not be obvious from conventional datasets alone."
Nikolas Perrault, CFA, Executive Chairman, Fairchild Gold Corp.
Geological Context and Program Scope
The known Golden Arrow gold-silver deposits are hosted by volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks and characterized by epithermal gold-silver mineralization exposed at the surface. The property also includes a broader range of geological and mineral target settings outside the principal deposit areas. TerraEye's spectral imagery program is intentionally being applied across the full property rather than being constrained to the alteration model developed around the known resource bodies.
The analysis will examine spectral signatures, alteration patterns, image-enhanced structural features and lineaments across exposed and partially covered terrain. Particular attention will be given to areas that have historically received less systematic exploration - including the eastern uplands, southern structural domains, gravel- and wash-covered areas, and zones surrounding the numerous historic workings that locally hosted high-grade gold-silver mineralization mined in the early 20th century but never followed up with modern exploration.
"The value of property-wide spectral analysis is that it gives the exploration team a consistent view across the entire project before field priorities are narrowed. At Golden Arrow, that means evaluating the established deposit areas, historic workings, underexplored terrain and structural framework using the same analytical approach. By integrating those surface signatures with structural interpretation and Fairchild's existing geological and geophysical datasets, we can help the team identify patterns that may extend beneath cover and focus the next stage of exploration."
Marek Wilgucki, CEO, TerraEye
Deliverables and Timing
The program will deliver property-wide mineral occurrence and alteration maps, structural and lineament interpretations, integrated Au-Ag target maps, and a technical report describing methods, results and geological interpretation. Exportable GeoTIFF layers will be accessible through the TerraEye web application. The final report is scheduled for late October 2026.
About Fairchild Gold Corp.
Fairchild Gold Corp. is a Nevada-focused mineral exploration and development company with a portfolio of three complementary assets: Nevada Titan, Golden Arrow and Carlin Queen.
Golden Arrow provides Fairchild with an established open-pit-oriented gold-silver resource within Nevada's prolific Walker Lane mineral belt. Nevada Titan is the Company's high-impact porphyry copper-gold-silver-antimony exploration project in the historic Goodsprings Mining District of southern Nevada. Carlin Queen provides additional epithermal gold-silver exploration exposure near the intersection of the Carlin and Midas-Hollister mineral trends, situated adjacent to the northern boundary of the Hollister Mine complex of Hecla Mining Company.
Fairchild's strategy is to build a significant Nevada-focused exploration and development platform combining established resources with opportunities for major new discoveries.
