Amaroq Ltd. (LSE:AMRQ) has started its 2026 resource drilling programme at the Nanoq gold project in South Greenland, targeting greater drill density and continuity following high-grade results from its 2025 exploration campaign.
Three company-owned drill rigs have been deployed at Nanoq, with the programme focused primarily on the Central Zone. The planned campaign is expected to be broadly comparable with the 4,807 metres of drilling completed during 2025.
Amaroq will also conduct step-out drilling at the parallel West 1 Zone, providing an opportunity to test the wider extent of mineralisation beyond the principal area of exploration.
The programme is designed to generate the geological information required to support a potential maiden Mineral Resource Estimate later in 2026. Achieving that milestone would represent an important step in Amaroq’s strategy to establish Nanoq as its next high-grade gold project alongside the producing Nalunaq mine.
In parallel with drilling, Amaroq is conducting preliminary metallurgical testing at SGS Lakefield in Canada. The work will assess whether material from Nanoq could be processed using the existing gravity and flotation flowsheet at Nalunaq.
If metallurgical compatibility is demonstrated, the existing processing infrastructure could potentially support bulk sampling and trial processing of Nanoq material, providing another route for evaluating the project as exploration advances.
Amaroq is also assessing infrastructure requirements around Nanoq, including a potential harbour and access road. These improvements are being considered as part of plans to strengthen site access from 2027 onwards.
Better infrastructure could reduce logistical costs and make it easier to conduct larger exploration and development programmes as the project progresses.
The combination of resource drilling, metallurgical testing and early infrastructure planning represents a broader push to move Nanoq beyond exploration towards a more defined development opportunity. Results from the 2026 drilling campaign will be particularly important in determining whether the company can establish sufficient continuity and scale to support a maiden resource estimate.
