December 10, 2025. Leads & Copy — Bathurst Metals Corp. has expanded its land holdings in the Turner-Gela Lake district by acquiring the West Gold mineral claim through staking.
The acquisition gives Bathurst Metals Corp. 100% ownership of a 388.873-hectare property that features two known gold occurrences. The acquisition strengthens the company’s regional presence in Nunavut’s emerging gold districts.
The gold occurrences were initially identified in 1992 during a federal geological survey. The survey reported assays of up to 10.30 g/t gold, along with elevated arsenic levels. There has been no exploration completed since the initial survey.
Because Bathurst Metals Corp. is already active in the immediate area, exploration at West Gold can be carried out with minimal additional logistical costs.
Bathurst’s portfolio in the district now includes:
- Turner Lake (Au/Ag): A 100% owned flagship project with multiple high-grade gold zones.
- TED (Au/Ag): 100% owned, high-grade gold in iron formation.
- Gela Lake (Cu/Ag/Au): Under option to Quinto Resources.
- West Gold (Au): A newly acquired claim with documented gold occurrences that is 100% owned by Bathurst Metals Corp.
CEO Harold Forzley said West Gold is a high-impact addition to Bathurst’s portfolio, giving the company a discovery opportunity that can be advanced quickly and cost-effectively.
Mr. Lorne Warner, P.Geo., President and Director of Bathurst Metals Corp., is the Qualified Person under NI 43-101 and has reviewed and approved the technical information within this release.
