• Centerra Gold started a 3,000-meter drill program at Headwater Gold’s Crane Creek gold project in western Idaho, the first drilling there since the 1990s.
• Program includes up to 15 reverse-circulation holes and five diamond core holes, fully funded by Centerra under a December 2025 earn-in.
• Planned 2026 spending totals about US$ 1.7 million toward Centerra’s US$ 2.5 million minimum exploration commitment.
• Earn-in terms allow Centerra to reach 70% interest via staged spending up to US$ 25 million, including a US$ 10 million step for 51%.
• Stage 3 requires a preliminary economic assessment tied to at least 1,000,000 oz gold equivalent of resources to lift interest to 70%.
