North Arrow Drills 9 m at 1.23 g/t Au, 7 m at 1.99 g/t Au at Kraaipan Project

North Arrow Minerals Inc. (TSXV: NAR) has released assay results from its Rotation 1 reverse circulation drilling program at Target A of the Kraaipan Gold Project in southern Botswana, confirming gold mineralization along approximately 700 meters of strike.

The company reported intercepts of 9 meters at 1.23 grams per tonne gold and 7 meters at 1.99 g/t Au, demonstrating the presence of a gold-endowed system beneath shallow Kalahari sand cover. The Kraaipan project is a significantly underexplored Archean greenstone belt that represents the direct northern extension of known gold systems. North Arrow has also completed Rotation 2 RC drilling at Targets AE and AF as part of its US$2.3 million 2026 exploration program.

For gold and precious metals traders, exploration success at projects like Kraaipan can influence sentiment toward junior mining stocks and, by extension, the broader gold market. While these results are early-stage, they highlight the ongoing search for new gold deposits in stable jurisdictions.

Investors will watch for further assay results from Rotation 2 drilling at Targets AE and AF, as well as any updates on the company's exploration timeline. The results also underscore the potential of the Kraaipan belt, which remains largely untested at depth and along strike.
