Rokmaster Resources Corp. Secures Critical Two-Year Extension for Duncan South Exploration Permit, Bolstering Zinc and Silver Potential
Vancouver, British Columbia – January 27, 2026 – Rokmaster Resources Corp. (TSXV: RKR) (OTCQB: RKMSF) (FSE: 1RR1) has announced a significant development for its Duncan Lake Project in southeastern British Columbia. The company has been granted a two-year extension to its Multi-year Area Based Exploration Permit for the Duncan South area. This permit encompasses the No.3, No.2, and No.1 Zones, along with intervening underexplored ground, positioning Rokmaster to further advance its exploration initiatives for critical metals, primarily zinc, with a notable potential for high-grade silver.
The extended Duncan South MYAB Permit provides authorization for up to 26 drill sites and 15 trenches over the next two years. This strategic allowance permits Rokmaster to conduct comprehensive drilling and trenching programs, crucial for delineating and assessing mineralized zones. The No.3 and No.1 Zones, in particular, have shown promising results from trenching and channel sampling conducted in 2025, yielding strong zinc-lead-silver grades over meter-scale intervals.
The Duncan Lake Project benefits from its strategic location, situated within 180 kilometers of the Trail Smelter, one of the world’s largest fully integrated zinc and lead smelting and refining complexes. This proximity is a considerable logistical advantage, potentially reducing transportation costs and streamlining the path to commercialization should exploration prove successful. The project’s geological setting is considered highly prospective for critical metals, a focus area for many global mining companies navigating supply chain diversification and the increasing demand for these essential commodities.
Rokmaster also holds a separate MYAB Permit for the area north of the historic Duncan Mine. Exploration in this northern sector has already indicated promising results. Historical drilling, including several holes completed by Rokmaster in 2022, has intersected the northern extension of the Duncan Anticline, with these findings suggesting higher zinc-lead-silver grades compared to those historically encountered at the Duncan Mine itself. This further underscores the broader potential of the Duncan Lake Project.
John Mirko, President and CEO of Rokmaster, commented on the permit extension: “Securing an extension for the Duncan South Permit is excellent news. It grants us the necessary runway to further investigate this highly prospective part of the Duncan Lake Project. The project’s geology and location are ideal for identifying substantial targets and enabling rapid development of critical metals. We are particularly enthusiastic about the project’s demonstrated potential for high-grade silver mineralization, which we intend to explore more thoroughly.”
The Duncan Lake Camp has a historical mining context, with the Duncan Mine developed by Cominco between 1957 and 1960, although it never entered production. The early discoveries in the No.1, No.2, and No.3 Zones predate the concentrated focus on the Duncan Mine, suggesting a rich history of mineral occurrences that Rokmaster is now systematically exploring.
From a technical and investment perspective, the permit extension is a positive step, allowing for continued exploration without immediate pressure to commence commercial production. However, investors should note that exploration is inherently a capital-intensive and high-risk endeavor. The authorization for 26 drill sites and 15 trenches implies a significant work program, which will require substantial financing. Furthermore, exploration activities are subject to various risks, including fluctuating metal prices, logistical challenges, adverse weather conditions, and the inherent technical uncertainties associated with discovering and defining economically viable mineral deposits. The ultimate success of Rokmaster’s exploration efforts will depend on its ability to secure adequate funding, execute its work program effectively, and confirm commercial-grade mineralization.
