A2Gold has expanded its land holdings at the Eastside Gold Project in Nevada, US, adding 24 new unpatented lode mining claims.

This expansion follows a geophysical survey conducted in November 2025, which pinpointed several previously undetected anomalies.

The additional claims cover around 201 hectares (ha) adjacent to the current claim block.

A2Gold’s strategic move enhances its control over the mineral-rich Eastside trend and opens up new exploration opportunities along structural corridors favourable for oxide gold mineralisation, which are typical of the Walker Lane Trend.

The newly acquired claims will be part of A2Gold’s exploration agenda for 2026.

The expansion of claims enhances A2Gold's influence over the extensive Eastside mineralised trend and increases exploration potential along identified structural corridors.

It also targets areas where the bedrock alteration is considered conducive to oxide gold mineralisation, which is characteristic of the Walker Lane Trend.

Located in Esmeralda County, the Eastside project lies roughly 20 miles north-west of Tonopah.

The project currently possesses estimated inferred resources of 1.4 million ounces (moz) of gold and 8.8moz of silver, with mineralisation extending in all directions.

Spanning a land area of 92km², Eastside includes several high-priority zones such as McIntosh and Castle, along with other exploration targets that have yet to be named.

A2Gold CEO Peter Gianulis said: “The results of our 2025 geophysical programme highlighted several compelling targets immediately outside our existing claim boundary.

“Staking these additional claims ensures we maintain control over the broader mineralised system at Eastside and positions the company to systematically explore these new targets as part of our ongoing exploration strategy.”

In January 2026, A2Gold began its completely financed 30,000m drilling programme at the Eastside Gold Project.
