Drill Program Initiated For The Lordsburg Project

VANCOUVER - American Copper Development Corporation has received all required exploration permits from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the New Mexico Mining and Minerals Division (NM MMD) to initiate a maiden 5,000-meter diamond drill program to explore for porphyry copper mineralization at its 100% owned Lordsburg Property located in southwestern New Mexico. The Company has contracted Major Drilling to complete this Phase I drill campaign.

The 5,000-meter diamond drill program commenced on March 25, 2023. The Phase I drilling campaign is designed to follow up on and extend previously identified porphyry copper related mineralization first identified by Entrée Gold in 2008-2009 drilling, test previously undrilled areas in and around the known high-grade copper, silver, gold vein mineralization at the historic Bonney and Misers Chest mines, and test newly identified areas for porphyry copper mineralization from the recently completed 3D DCIP/MT Titan survey.

Rick Van Nieuwenhuyse, Chairman, said, "It is exciting to finally get to drill some of the numerous targets at Lordsburg. It has taken several years to assemble a controlling land position on this largely untested porphyry copper district. The DCIP/MT survey identified a number of compelling targets - especially when combined with our multiple layers of technical data including detailed geologic mapping, ASTER hyper spectral alteration mapping, magnetics, soil geochemistry and LIDAR.”
