Drill Program To Commence At The Madison Copper-Gold Project
VANCOUVER - American Pacific Mining Corp reported that a five (5) hole diamond drill campaign is set to commence in early Q4/2023 at the Madison Copper-Gold Project located in Madison County, Montana. The drill program is designed to further define near-surface, high-grade copper and gold mineralization and provide a foundation for deeper exploration in areas with limited historical drilling. In part, this 2023 program will follow up on the last partner funded campaign, which included an intersection of 14.44 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) over 6.53 metres (m). Drill holes have been strategically placed to accomplish multiple objectives and test numerous targets with each hole. The program aims to accomplish three key objectives: test shallow gap areas; tighten drill spacing at moderate depth within the skarn to support future mineral resource estimation; and extend below known mineralization to provide valuable information for deeper exploration in subsequent campaigns.
“We are excited to begin drilling at Madison and view this drilling campaign as an opportunity to make an already strongly mineralized system more robust, while collecting valuable information in untested areas,” commented Warwick Smith, CEO. “The ultimate prize at Madison is the potential for a deep-rooted porphyry deposit, but we believe the shallow high-grade skarn mineralization will be an important contributor during the early years of any future mining scenario at Madison and believe it can expand significantly with further exploration work.”
