BULLFROG GOLD COMMENCES FIELD PROGRAM AT SOUTH BULLFROG |
| [16-June-2026] |
VANCOUVER, BC, June 16, 2026 /CNW/ - Bullfrog Gold Corporation ("Bullfrog Gold") (TSX-V: FROG) has commenced a field exploration program at South Bullfrog designed to evaluate and refine drill target locations at Longtail, Shingleback, Sledge, and Bottoms-up. The program will also aim to advance targets at the highly prospective SE Block in advance of exploration drilling. Bullfrog Gold holds a 100% interest in the 10,050-acre South Bullfrog gold project located in the heart of the Beatty District in the Walker Lane Trend in Nevada, surrounded by AngloGold's Bullfrog, North Bullfrog, and Arthur development projects (Figure 1). HIGHLIGHTS
"Immediately after completing the listing process and name change our technical team was mobilised to the field," comments Ian Slater, Chief Executive Officer. "We are very happy to get back to field work on South Bullfrog and look forward to an exciting year." Surface Exploration at South Bullfrog commenced June 3, 2026, and includes geological mapping (lithological, structural and alteration) and rock chip sampling (geochemical assays and Short-Wave Infrared alteration analyses) at Longtail, Shingleback, Sledge, Bottoms-up and SE Block. The exploration program is designed to enhance Bullfrog Gold's understanding of the geological architecture of the target areas and will also refine drill target locations. SE Block was staked subsequent to the acquisition of the majority of the South Bullfrog land position in 2022 and has not had sufficient mapping and prospecting despite having widespread steam heated alteration and historical workings (Figures 1 and 2). SE Block target area contains silicified and clay altered coherent and fragmental rhyolite lavas, breccias and silica ribs (Figure 2A/B). Brittle damage zones (faults) align zones of silicification and devitrification of rhyolite, especially along the Fluorspar Canyon fault zone (2C). The distribution of alteration and structural features suggests the presence of a broad hydrothermal system developed along major structures within this portion of the property.
