American Pacific Reports High-Grade Drill Results with 10.4 g/t Gold over 12 Metres and 2.09% Copper over 29.7 Metres Within a Larger Mineralized Envelope at Its Madison Project

 

 

 

 

 

American Pacific Mining Corp (CSE: USGD) (OTCQX: USGDF) (FSE: 1QC1) is pleased to announce additional drill results from the 2024 Phase I infill and extension drill program at its Madison Copper-Gold Project in Montana.

 

Highlighted results for the final four drill holes from the Phase I program (see Table 1), include:

  • APMMAD24-06: 12.34 m of 10.36 g/t Au and 0.88% Cu, including 30.96 g/t Au over 3.66 m
  • APMMAD24-07: 22.40 m of 0.63 g/t Au, including 3.05 m of 1.76 g/t Au
  • APMMAD24-08: 2.90 m of 3.17 g/t Au and 2.41% Cu
  • APMMAD24-09: 3.66% Cu over 8.14 m, 29.72 m of 2.09% Cu and 9.75 m of 1.56% Cu, and 0.40 g/t Au within a broader zone of 0.98% Cu over 75.13 m

Notes: m = metres; Au = gold; Cu = copper; g/t = grams per tonne

 

“We are thrilled to report these additional results from our Phase I drill program at Madison,” commented American Pacific CEO, Warwick Smith. “These high-grade intersections not only confirm, but significantly expand our understanding of the widespread mineralization remaining beyond what was historically mined. These results, combined with our earlier findings, paint an increasingly exciting picture of Madison’s potential. The consistency and grade of mineralization we’re encountering speaks volumes about the robustness of this system and the results have highlighted open-ended areas to target in Phase II.”

 

The results from Phase I drilling show the open-ended nature of the mineralization to the west, to the south, and at depth. The historically mined mineralization strictly followed the contact of a mapped intrusive body named the Rader Creek Pluton. While this relationship was known to past miners, modern exploration efforts have not adequately tested this contact, extending to the west over 1 kilometre, and to the southeast over 2 km.

 

“The Rader Creek contact is virtually untested southward where it shallows into alluvial gravels that were a target for placer miners centuries ago. This presents American Pacific with numerous opportunities to expand the mineralization in the Phase II program, while further defining more regional targets for a Phase III program,” commented Eric Saderholm, American Pacific’s Managing Director of Exploration.

Notes: All reported intervals are uncapped downhole core lengths. Sufficient work has not been completed to determine true width for the intervals reported.

 

See Figures 1-2 and Tables 1-2 for additional information, also the press release dated September 4, 2024, for assay results from the first three drill holes of the Phase I program.

 

Both epithermal and porphyry-style mineralization have been mapped and mined on the property. The gold and copper mineralization logged in drill hole APMMAD24-06 is interpreted to be related directly to the intrusive/porphyry-hosted mineralization. The intensity of alteration, and high-grade values are both indicators of a potential nearby intrusive heat source. The Phase II program will further test this interpretation and expand the high-grade copper and gold to the west and east. Additional drilling will be planned to extend the historically mined orebody below 130 m (see Figure 3).
