Bald Eagle Gold ( (TSE:BIG) ) has provided an update.

Hercules Metals has launched its 2026 drilling campaign at the Hercules Property in western Idaho, aiming for 20,000 to 30,000 metres of drilling to expand the Leviathan copper system along strike into the Southern Flats Zone and beyond. The initial 12,500‑metre phase is underway, with results to guide further drilling across additional targets as the season progresses.

Drilling has resumed on holes HER‑25‑25 and HER‑25‑18, supported by a second upgraded Dorado drill rig expected to deliver the company’s highest production rates to date. Hercules has also completed reconnaissance IP lines over new Pegasus and Hook MT anomalies and implemented upgrades to on‑site sample processing, logistics and lab access to accelerate assay turnaround and bring remaining 2025 drill results and new exploration data to market more quickly.

The expanded program, combined with improved geophysical targeting and faster assays, is intended to more effectively delineate the scale of the Leviathan porphyry system and assess new high‑priority copper targets. These efforts could enhance Hercules Metals’ resource potential, sharpen its competitive position in the copper exploration space and provide timelier information for investors and other stakeholders.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:BIG) stock is a Hold with a C$0.71 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Bald Eagle Gold stock, see the TSE:BIG Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on BIG Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, BIG is a Neutral.

The score is held down primarily by weak financial performance (no revenue, ongoing losses, and heavy cash burn). Technicals provide a partial offset with strong momentum and price above major moving averages, but overbought signals and high volatility increase near-term risk. Valuation is constrained by negative earnings and the absence of a dividend.
