Makenita Resources extends its tungsten exploration footprint in New Brunswick
Junior mining exploration company Makenita Resources has acquired additional mineral claims at its Sisson West tungsten project, in New Brunswick, Canada.
The company has now more than doubled the project’s land package from 9 845 acres to 22 665 contiguous acres, directly bordering TSX-listed Northcliff Resources’ Sisson tungsten mine.
The Sisson West expansion follows on from Makenita’s July 20 announcement identifying a clearly defined magnetic high and drill-ready target on the original property, and a drill programme for this property is currently being formulated.
The company also notes that its expansion work comes at a time when Northcliff Resources’ Sission tungsten mine was recently named as one of the First Nation-building projects by Canada PM Mark Carney.
“This is a very exciting time for Makenita. More than doubling our land position directly against the Sisson deposit, at a time when Sisson has been named a nation-building project by the federal government, speaks to the strategic value of this ground.
“Management sees meaningful leverage to any exploration success and we anticipate an active remainder of 2026 across multiple projects,” Makenita Resources president Jason Gigliotti says.
