Prospector Metals (TSXV: PPP; OTCQB: PMCOF) is ramping up exploration at its ML project near Dawson City, Yukon, following a 2025 discovery and new strategic backing from gold producer B2Gold. Speaking with Kitco Mining at PDAC 2026, President & CEO Rob Carpenter said the company plans to increase drilling from about 6,000 meters completed in 2025 to more than 25,000 meters in 2026. The discovery campaign included a high-grade intercept at the TESS zone, where drilling returned 44 meters grading 13.79 g/t gold with copper and silver credits.

Carpenter said the goal this year is to grow the discovery and test the broader district-scale potential of the system. “Our objective is to expand that new discovery from last year, as well as show that the potential for this area to host district-scale or multiple deposits,” he said. Carpenter also pointed to a shift in exploration capital toward stable jurisdictions, noting that “Exploration dollars are coming home to Canada.”
