All respondents expected exploration permits within six months — the highest share among the 12 jurisdictions in the permitting sub-survey.

Perception Index

This index ignores geology and strictly measures how "mining-friendly" the government rules are—being 7th means very low red tape.

80% of respondents reported that the province met its published permitting milestones most of the time — the highest share among the 12 jurisdictions in the permitting sub-survey.

Bottom Brook

The Bottom Brook project consists of 16 mineral licences totalling 15,150ha, located approx. 40km south of the port community of Corner Brook, Newfoundland. The project is accessible through a network of secondary roads, immediately adjacent to the Trans-Canada Highway. Sorrento holds an option to earn up to a 100% interest.

Sorrento drilled ten holes at Bottom Brook in 2026. Highlights include:

  • 52m of 0.98% TREO from 42m (SRS26-009)
  • 33m of 2.12% TREO from 69m (SRS26-006)
  • 18m of 1.51% TREO from 118m (SRS26-001)

Intervals are core lengths; estimated true widths are 70–90% of core length.

Gold

Rodgers Cove

The 100%-owned Rodgers Cove Gold Project comprises 260 claims totalling 6,500 hectares in the Central Newfoundland Gold Belt, within the Exploits Subzone along the Appleton and JBP Faults. The property sits on tidewater, less than 50km north of Gander.

  • Drill-tested for the first time in 2026; program expanded from 1,500m to approx. 2,500m.
  • RC26-003 returned 14m of 2.19 g/t Au from 63m, open along strike and up and down dip.
  • RC26-010 returned 31m of 0.42 g/t Au from 100m, including 7m of 1.01 g/t Au from 124m.

Intervals are core lengths. Current data are insufficient to determine true widths.
