Exploration Update | January–July 2026
The first six months of 2026 have been a productive period for Annamite Resources, with exploration drilling progressing across our Sokdee and Vangma projects in Laos.
Working closely with the Vientiane Province administration and district and village authorities, Annamite is steadily gaining land access for our 70+ hole programme.
Our drilling contractor, supported by our field teams, has successfully completed 23 diamond drill holes, totalling over 2,960 metres:
Sokdee: 15 drill holes completed, with more than 1,540 metres drilled across priority gold targets in Spine, Namthom West, and Boundary.
Vangma: 6 drill holes completed, totalling 1,325 metres, focused on the Flank and Milky Way porphyry prospects.
Since May, about 1,250 core samples have been delivered to ALS Vientiane for full multi-element assays.
We plan to drill 10-15 additional holes in August-September despite the monsoon. More holes are designed aiming to test all targets before the end of the year.
Beyond drilling activities, our exploration teams have undertaken extensive geological logging, core photography, structural measurements, magnetic susceptibility readings, density measurements and systematic core sampling. These activities are providing valuable geological data to better understand alteration, mineralization and structural controls across both projects.
The information collected throughout the January–July program is helping refine our geological models, prioritize future drilling in key targets and advance our understanding of the mineral potential within our exploration portfolio.
We thank our field crews, including geologists, geotechnicians, land-access support staff and contractors, for their commitment to safely delivering a successful 2026 major drilling campaign, and we look forward to sharing further results as the program progresses.
