About AuMEGA Metals Ltd (AUMMF)
AuMEGA Metals Ltd (formerly Matador Mining Ltd), trading under the symbol AUMMF, is a mineral exploration company committed to the discovery and development of precious and critical metals in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The company's operations are centered around its expansive district-scale land package spanning 110 kilometers along the Cape Ray Shear Zone (CRSZ), Newfoundland's largest identified gold structure. This underexplored geological feature is renowned for hosting significant gold deposits, including Calibre Mining's Valentine Gold Project, which boasts over 5 million ounces of gold resources.
Core Operations and Expertise
AuMEGA employs a systematic, best-in-class exploration methodology designed to uncover high-value mineral resources in terrains with significant overburden and complex glacial histories. The company's portfolio includes dozens of high-potential targets, supported by an existing gold Mineral Resource of 450,000 ounces of Indicated Resources and 160,000 ounces of Inferred Resources. These resources are derived from 6.1 million tonnes of ore grading an average of 2.25 g/t gold (Indicated) and 3.4 million tonnes grading 1.44 g/t gold (Inferred).
Strategic Landholdings
AuMEGA's land package is strategically positioned along the CRSZ, a highly prospective area characterized by its structural complexity and potential for multi-million-ounce gold deposits. The company's holdings also include the Hermitage Flexure, a 27-kilometer stretch with significant potential for gold and antimony mineralization, and the Blue Cove Copper Project, an early-stage copper exploration initiative in southeastern Newfoundland.
Innovative Exploration Techniques
AuMEGA leverages advanced exploration tools, including high-resolution airborne magnetic surveys, reverse circulation (RC) drilling, and geochemical till sampling, to identify and prioritize targets. Recent exploration programs have uncovered promising anomalies at key projects like Bunker Hill and Intersection, with high-grade copper, gold, and silver samples reinforcing the potential for significant discoveries.
Strategic Partnerships and Market Position
The company is supported by a diverse shareholder base, including strategic investment from B2Gold Corp, a leading multi-million-ounce gold producer. AuMEGA's dual listing on the ASX and TSX Venture Exchange enhances its access to capital and broadens its investor base. Recent successful financings, totaling approximately C$16 million, underscore strong institutional confidence in the company's exploration strategy and growth potential.
2025 Exploration Program
AuMEGA has launched its largest exploration program since 2021, focusing on high-priority targets at the Bunker Hill Project, Cape Ray Gold Project, and Hermitage Gold-Antimony Project. The program includes up to 20,000 meters of drilling, with 10,000 to 12,000 meters allocated to Bunker Hill alone. This initiative aims to expand existing mineral resources and achieve new discoveries, reinforcing AuMEGA's position as a leader in gold and critical metal exploration.
Commitment to Sustainability
AuMEGA is committed to responsible exploration practices, ensuring minimal environmental impact while contributing to the global demand for critical metals. The company's operations align with regulatory standards and prioritize community engagement in Newfoundland and Labrador.
With its strategic landholdings, innovative exploration techniques, and robust financial backing, AuMEGA Metals Ltd is well-positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for gold and critical metals, offering significant value to investors and stakeholders.
AuMEGA Metals (OTCQB: AUMMF) has commenced its 2025 winter drill program at Bunker Hill in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, following a brief weather-related delay. The company has deployed two diamond drill rigs at the Nitty Gritty targets, with a Reverse Circulation (RC) drill rig on site expected to begin bottom-of-hole/basal till sampling soon.
The program plans approximately 10,000 metres of drilling, with initial focus on Nitty Gritty—site of previously reported high-grade copper and silver outcropping samples—before moving to Bunker Hill West, where historic high-grade gold samples and recent geophysical surveys revealed significant structural complexity.
According to CEO Sam Pazuki, the company expects assay results from drill core and RC rock chips to begin arriving by mid-to-late March and continue regularly into Q2 2025.
AuMEGA Metals has completed a high-resolution airborne magnetic survey over their Hermitage Gold-Antimony Project in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The survey covered 234 km² with 4,756 line-kilometres across a 27-kilometer strike length.
Key findings revealed significant geological complexity and multiple structural features that align with previous high-grade samples, including:
- Gold samples up to 7.31 g/t
- Silver samples up to 193 g/t
- Antimony (stibnite) up to 2,044 ppm
The project shows geological similarities to major gold deposits like Bendigo and Fosterville in Australia, and Windfall in Quebec. The company plans to conduct comprehensive analysis of the geophysical data and launch an inaugural diamond drill program of up to 3,000 metres in late 2025.
AuMEGA Metals has announced its Q4 2024 activities report, highlighting significant exploration progress and a major C$16 million private placement. The company completed key exploration activities at its Bunker Hill project, including a high-resolution airborne magnetic survey covering 170 km² and a till program that revealed significant gold anomalies up to 148 ppb.
For 2025, AuMEGA plans approximately 20,000 metres of drilling, including a 10,000-metre program at Bunker Hill in Q1. The company's portfolio spans 110 kilometres along the Cape Ray Shear Zone in Newfoundland, hosting a gold Mineral Resource of 450,000 ounces Indicated (6.1Mt at 2.25 g/t) and 160,000 ounces Inferred (3.4Mt at 1.44 g/t).
The financing round was supported by existing shareholders and attracted new global resource funds. The company's exploration strategy focuses on systematic approaches in south-west Newfoundland's complex terrain.
AuMEGA Metals (AUMMF) has announced its largest exploration program since 2021, fully funded by a C$16 million financing raised in late 2024. The program includes approximately 13,000 metres of diamond drilling and 7,000 metres of RC Bottom-of-Hole drilling across multiple projects.
The main focus will be the Bunker Hill Project, with 10,000-12,000 metres of winter drilling planned for Q1 2025. The project has shown high-grade copper samples of up to 17.2% and silver values up to 19.1 g/t. Additional exploration includes a 5,000-metre drill program at the Cape Ray Gold Project and a 3,000-metre inaugural drill program at the Hermitage Gold-Antimony Project.
The company holds 110 kilometres of strike along the Cape Ray Shear Zone, with B2Gold as a strategic investor and neighboring operations by Calibre and Eldorado Gold. Drilling at Bunker Hill is expected to commence in early February 2025, with assay results expected within 4-6 weeks of sampling.
