Vancouver, Canada. Grande Portage Resources Ltd. announced on June 1, 2026 that it is advancing engineering studies, environmental fieldwork, and a 2026 drill program at the New Amalga Gold property near Juneau, Alaska, to prepare for the federal Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and permitting process. The company identified consultants, including RESPEC, to design access road geotechnical surveys. On the same date the company said it is applying to the State of Alaska for an easement for an access road and expects study outputs to provide key inputs to state and federal regulatory reviews; next steps include submitting permit applications and initiating the formal EIS and permitting dialogue this year.
