K2 Gold has officially broken ground on its much-anticipated 2026 drilling campaign at the wholly owned Mojave Project, strategically located in the historically prolific mining districts of Inyo County, California.
The commencement of this aggressive subsurface investigation follows the long-awaited final approval of the project’s environmental plan by federal regulators, a critical administrative hurdle that had previously kept drills idle.
With this green light secured, the company is poised to capitalize on the optimal spring weather window, mobilizing heavy equipment to test multiple structural targets across the expansive property.
For K2, this season represents a pivotal inflection point; the Mojave Project sits adjacent to past-producing gold operations, and the company’s geological team is eager to translate years of surface mapping and geophysical data into tangible core samples that could significantly de-risk the asset.
At the heart of this year’s program lies the exceptionally promising Dragonfly target, a structurally controlled mineralization zone that has consistently returned high-grade gold values in previous trenching and rock-chip sampling campaigns.
Unlike broader, lower-grade bulk-tonnage targets elsewhere on the property, Dragonfly is characterized by narrow, steeply dipping quartz-adularia veins that exhibit bonanza-grade potential, with historical surface assays having flashed spectacular numbers that have captured the attention of sector analysts.
The 2026 drill plan is specifically designed to test the down-dip continuity and strike extension of these high-grade shoots, aiming to intersect the feeder structures that likely sourced the near-surface enrichment.
For investors and exploration watchers, success at Dragonfly could fundamentally alter the project’s economics, shifting the narrative from a regional exploration play to a focused, high-return discovery story within one of the most mining-friendly jurisdictions in the western United States.
K2 Gold’s president and CEO, Anthony Margarit, commented: “It has been a long road to get to this point, and it feels like we are just getting started. The commencement of drilling at Mojave represents a significant step forward for K2 Gold as we begin the largest and most comprehensive drill programme in the company’s history.” Read more...
