The KE Report Kirkland Lake Discoveries – Ongoing 25,000 Meter Drill Program At KL West, KL East, And KL South At The Newly Acquired Mirado Gold Project In The Abitibi
Mar 13, 2026
Stefan Sklepowicz, CEO of Kirkland Lake Discoveries, leads exploration across a 400-km2 Abitibi portfolio and launched a 25,000 m drill program. He discusses follow-up drilling at KL West, the newly acquired Mirado Gold Project with a historic ~442,000 oz resource, assay timing and lab strategy, program funding and key strategic shareholders. Short timelines and near-term assay catalysts are emphasized.

Episode notes
Large Undersurveyed Land Package Around Kirkland Lake
- Kirkland Lake Discoveries assembled a 45,000-hectare underexplored package around Kirkland Lake targeting Blake River Group rocks.
- Stefan saw the Quebec successes stop at the border and used regional soils, tills, and geophysics to identify overlooked targets under glacial cover.
Soil Pathfinders Point To Intrusion Related System
- Soil geochemistry highlighted Pathfinder element clusters (bismuth, tellurium, molybdenum) around a pluton, suggesting an intrusion-related mineralizing event.
- Stefan reinterpreted historic VMS-style hits as potentially remobilized by the intrusion, shifting exploration strategy toward intrusion-related targets.
October Holes Triggered Major Financing
- October drill results hit semi-massive sulfides averaging ~1.2–1.3% copper equivalent from surface over 27–37 m lengths.
- Those hits enabled a $12.7M raise and launched the current 25,000 m drill program.
