PJX Resources Begins First Drilling at Gar Gold Target in British Columbia
PJX Resources has commenced first-ever drilling at the Gar gold target on its Zinger Property, while seasonal weather has postponed further work at the Estella Basin target.
PJX Resources Inc. has started the first drilling campaign at the Gar gold target on its Zinger Property in southeastern British Columbia’s Sullivan Mining District. The programme is designed to investigate a 1,600-metre-long gold-in-soil anomaly linked to the Gar intrusion and a prospective Reduced Intrusion Related Gold System (RIRGS) setting.
The Gar area had not previously been tested by drilling. PJX began the work after the renewal of the Zinger Property’s five-year drilling permit earlier this month and the construction of three helicopter-supported drill pads.
Initial holes will concentrate on an area where elevated gold readings in soil overlap with gold mineralisation identified in surface samples. Much of the target is covered by overburden, although exposed bedrock contains quartz veins with RIRGS-style characteristics.
PJX reported gold values of up to 28.84 g/t gold from grab samples collected from sheeted quartz veins in outcrops and boulders. The company also identified visible gold as individual grains and alongside pyrite in sheeted and structurally controlled quartz veins.
According to PJX, the geology and mineralisation at Gar have similarities to RIRGS deposits such as Snowline Gold’s Valley discovery in the Yukon and Kinross Gold’s Fort Knox deposit in Alaska. Airborne magnetic data has also indicated the potential for additional RIRGS targets in the surrounding area.
Bedrock sampling across the Zinger Property has identified gold mineralisation over an area measuring at least 9 km long and 2 km wide. PJX describes Gar as one of several exploration targets on the property.
At the Dewdney Trail Property, PJX has completed approximately 2,700 metres of a planned 4,000-metre drill programme at the Estella Basin target. The work is focused on locating the source of Sullivan-style Sedex boulders found at the base of a mountain slope.
The company said results so far have narrowed the potential source area, but deteriorating seasonal weather conditions have led it to postpone further drilling at Estella Basin until next year. The drill has been moved to Gar, and additional drilling at Estella Basin is planned. Estella Basin is one of three priority Sedex targets at Dewdney Trail, alongside Lewis Ridge and Grundy Creek.
PJX President and CEO John Keating said the first Gar campaign will examine only part of the target because of its size and the approaching winter season. The company said results from the programme will be used to guide future exploration at Gar and elsewhere on the Zinger Property.

The programme is testing a 1,600-metre-long gold-in-soil anomaly associated with a prospective RIRGS setting.
Surface grab samples at Gar returned gold values of up to 28.84 g/t gold, and visible gold was identified in quartz veins.

PJX Resources announced that drilling had commenced at the previously untested Gar gold target on its Zinger Property in southeastern British Columbia’s Sullivan Mining District. The first-ever programme is intended to test a 1,600-metre-long gold-in-soil anomaly associated with a prospective Reduced Intrusion Related Gold System (RIRGS).
PJX Resources made the announcement on October 29, 2026. The announcement covers the commencement of drilling at Gar and an exploration update from the Dewdney Trail Property.

PJX Resources is testing a 1,600-metre-long gold-in-soil anomaly associated with the Gar intrusion and a prospective RIRGS setting. Initial drilling will focus on the area where anomalous gold-in-soil values coincide with gold mineralisation identified in surface samples.
PJX Resources reported that grab samples from sheeted quartz veins in outcrop and boulders returned gold values of up to 28.84 g/t gold. The company also reported visible gold as individual grains and in association with pyrite in sheeted and structurally controlled quartz veins.
PJX Resources said geological characteristics and gold mineralisation at Gar share similarities with RIRGS deposits, including Snowline Gold’s Valley discovery in the Yukon and Kinross Gold’s Fort Knox deposit in Alaska. Airborne magnetic data also supports the potential for additional RIRGS targets in the surrounding area, according to the company.
Following the renewal of the Zinger Property’s five-year drilling permit earlier in October 2026, PJX Resources completed construction of three helicopter-supported drill pads to begin testing Gar. The target is largely covered by overburden, with limited bedrock exposure hosting RIRGS-style gold mineralisation.
PJX Resources said bedrock sampling has identified gold mineralisation across an area measuring at least 9 km long and 2 km wide on the Zinger Property. The company also described Gar as one of multiple exploration targets in the surrounding area.
PJX Resources said approximately 2,700 metres of the planned 4,000-metre drill programme had been completed at the Estella Basin target on the Dewdney Trail Property. The work is focused on identifying the source of Sullivan-style Sedex boulders, and results to date have continued to narrow the potential source area.
PJX Resources postponed drilling at Estella Basin until next year because of deteriorating seasonal weather conditions. The company relocated the drill to the Gar target at Zinger, while additional drilling at Estella Basin is planned.
PJX Resources said the initial Gar programme will test only a portion of the target’s potential because of its size and the approaching winter season. President and CEO John Keating said the results will help guide future exploration at Gar and throughout the Zinger Property.
