Windfall Geotek AI Validates Major Discovery: TomaGold Intersects 5.75% ZnEq Over 98.5 Metres at Berrigan Deep
(TheNewswire)
Brossard, Québec - TheNewswire -January 30, 2026 — Windfall Geotek Inc. (CSE: WIN; OTCQB:WINKF) ("Windfall" or the"Company"), a pioneer in Artificial Intelligence (AI)-drivenmineral exploration since 2005, is proud to announce that recentdrilling results from TomaGoldCorp. (TSXV: LOT; OTCPK: TOGOF) have confirmed amajor new mineralized discovery at the Berrigan Mine project,validating high-priority areas/targets(0-300 meters) identified inJune 2024 by Windfall’s proprietary AI system.
Major Intercept: Drill hole TOM-25-015 intersected 5.75% ZnEq (1.34 g/t AuEq) over 98.5m, including a high-grade interval of26.67% ZnEq (6.26 g/t AuEq)over 4.90 m
Berrigan Deep Discovery: The AI-driven targeting successfully identified thepotential for mineralization at depth, leading to the discovery of the"Berrigan Deep" zone, which remains open at depth.
Proven Accuracy: Windfall’s AI reduced the effective search area by98–99% on the entireproject, allowing TomaGold to focus explorationon the specific 50m x 50m cells that yielded these transformativeresults.
ThePower of Digital Exploration
Using its proprietary AI System in combination with astrong historical exploration database and SIGEOM data covering1,263.98 km², Windfall identified 11 high-priority zinc targets in June2024. The latest results from TomaGold’s winter drilling campaignconfirm the presence of a large, active hydrothermal system.
The discovery in hole TOM-25-015, located at a depth ofover 450 metres, represents a significant success for Windfall’s"Berrigan sector" digital model. By analyzing over112,704 historicalassays and evaluating 505,755 data cells,the AI system predicted the structural controls and geologicalpatterns that have now been confirmed through physicaldrilling.
Michel Fontaine, President and CEO ofWindfall Geotek, commented:
“The results announced today by TomaGold are a'watershed moment' for Windfall Geotek. Intersecting nearly100 metres of mineralization in a zone like Berrigan Deep proves thatour AI doesn't just find targets—it finds deposits. Byleveraging 20 years of data and machine learning, we provided TomaGoldwith the digital map in top to this discovery. This is the ultimatevalidation of our technology as a critical decision-support tool forthe modern geologists.”
Technical Details and Next Steps
Several mineralized zones remain open in alldirections. TomaGold has indicated that 2D and 3D modeling iscurrently underway to further target the -250 to -500 metre interval,utilizing the experiences and vectors in 2D and 3D provided by Seniorgeologists, Windfall’s AI and upcoming geophysical surveys.
