Welcome to our dedicated page for PALAMINA ORD news (Ticker: PLMNF), a resource for investors and traders seeking the latest updates and insights on PALAMINA ORD stock.
Palamina Corp ORD (PLMNF) is a gold exploration company with projects in southeastern Peru, including the Usicayos Gold Project in the Sol de Oro Zone (SDO). With a 4.5 km long mineralized orogenic gold trend, Palamina is conducting drilling programs and exploration activities to define drill targets and expand its gold resources. Recently, Palamina acquired Sociedad Minera Vicus Exploraciones S.A.C., adding the Pluma copper-silver project in northeastern Peru to its portfolio.
Palamina Corp (TSXV: PA) (OTCQB: PLMNF) has completed six holes in its inaugural drilling program at the Sol De Oro Zone ('SDO') of its Usicayos gold project in SE Peru. The program tested two of three zones, covering 1,685 metres of diamond drilling across SDO East and SDO South. Drilling at SDO East confirmed a large mineralized system with higher gold values trending north. SDO South drilling revealed visible gold in quartz veins and massive sulphide veining within a blind microdiorite intrusive. Notable results from SDO East include intersections of up to 3.48 g/t gold over 3 metres. The drill is now moving to SDO North for two planned holes.
Palamina Corp. (TSXV: PA) (OTCQB: PLMNF) is currently drilling at its Usicayos Gold Project in the Puno Orogenic Gold Belt (POGB) in southeastern Peru. The company has completed three diamond drill holes in the SDO East Zone and is working on the fifth hole in the SDO South Zone, reaching the halfway point of its 3,000-metre drilling program.
Simultaneously, Winshear Gold Corp, in which Palamina holds a 15.4% equity stake, has begun a 1,600-metre drilling programme at the Coritiri zone of its Gaban Project, also located in the POGB. Palamina retains a 2% Net Smelter Return royalty on the Gaban Project, which it previously sold to Winshear.
Both drilling campaigns aim to identify the potential bedrock source of gold in the 1,900 square kilometre alluvial goldfields in the Madre de Dios basin to the north. The POGB is described as one of the world's least formally explored orogenic gold belts, with known mineralized systems extending vertically to over 1,000 metres depth.
Palamina Corp. (TSXV: PA) (OTCQB: PLMNF) has acquired 100% of Sociedad Minera Vicus Exploraciones S.A.C. from Aurania Resources The acquisition includes the Pluma copper silver project in northeastern Peru, covering 9,800 hectares. As payment, Aurania received 350,000 Palamina common shares and a 1% Net Smelter Return royalty on Pluma.
Palamina plans to transfer its Sora, Volcano, and Galena copper silver projects in southeastern Peru to Vicus. This acquisition provides Palamina with greater flexibility to separately fund and advance its copper silver projects in Vicus and gold projects in Palamina S.A.C.
The Pluma project is adjacent to Hannan Metals 's San Martin Copper Silver Project, which is subject to a significant earn-in agreement with JOGMEC. Palamina's strategy for copper silver assets positions it to participate in new discoveries in a prolific metallogenic belt, focusing on high-demand battery metals like copper and silver.
Palamina Corp. (TSXV: PA) (OTCQB: PLMNF) has received a US$100,000 Advance Royalty payment from Winshear Gold Corp. (TSXV: WINS), as part of a property purchase agreement signed in 2019. The agreement includes annual payments and a 2% NSR royalty per project. Palamina holds a 15.4% ownership interest in Winshear through 4,833,333 common shares. Winshear is set to begin a 1,600 metre drilling program at its Gaban Gold Project by the end of September 2024. Simultaneously, drilling is underway at Palamina's Usicayos Gold Project. This gives Palamina shareholders participation in two drilling programs in the Puno Orogenic Gold Belt, both in the drill discovery phase.
Palamina Corp. (TSXV: PA) (OTCQB: PLMNF) has initiated drilling at its Usicayos Gold Project in southeastern Peru. The program focuses on the Sol de Oro (SDO) zone, with seven diamond drill holes planned for approximately 3,000 metres. The drilling targets continuous, high-grade, gold-bearing shear zones in the SDO East, South, and North areas.
The SDO zone, measuring 1.5 km wide and 2.2 km in strike length, is part of a larger 1.5 by 4.5 km gold-bearing orogenic system. The company believes this zone represents the heart of the Usicayos system. Drilling will test a working interpretation of a possible near-vertical feeder zone at the center of the SDO area.
Surface sampling has yielded promising results, including 4m of 5.2 g/t Au from channel sampling in the SDO East zone, where drilling will commence.
Palamina Corp. (TSXV: PA) (OTCQB: PLMNF) has reported promising results from a bulk sample study at its Usicayos Gold Project in Peru. The 20 kg sample from the SDO east zone returned an average grade of 3.6 g/t gold, with 99.73% determined to be liberated gold. This study, along with metallic screening and photon assaying, is helping establish optimal protocols for the upcoming drill program.
Key findings include:
- 99.73% of gold mass was liberated gold
- 97.88% of gold mass found as free surfaces
- Approximately 10% of gold occurs in grains larger than 150 microns
- Only a small proportion (<1%) of gold surfaces associated with gangue minerals
The SDO zone, hosted in Paleozoic Sandia Formation, is controlled by regional shear zones and measures approximately 1.5 km in width and 2.2 km in strike length. The upcoming drill program will test the interpretation of a possible near-vertical feeder zone at the heart of the SDO zone.
Palamina Corp. (TSXV: PA) (OTCQB: PLMNF) has completed a drone-based magnetic survey over the 4.5 km long mineralized gold trend at its Usicayos Gold Project in Peru. The survey, conducted by Deep Sounding E.I.R.L, included a detailed Digital Terrain Model and orthophoto for high-resolution topography. A new structural interpretation of the Sol de Oro (SDO) zone confirms main controls on surface mineralization.
The magnetic survey reveals that priority drill targets in the SDO zone align with magnetic anomalies, likely linked to pyrrhotite associated with gold mineralization. Structural mapping shows high-grade gold values are controlled by a continuous low-angle shear zone intersecting vertical conjugate faults. Palamina plans to drill the SDO East, North, and South targets where these structural trends intersect.
The company has completed its camp in the SDO zone, with drilling expected to begin by month's end. This preparation positions Palamina to advance its exploration efforts at the Usicayos Gold Project.
On June 10, 2024, Palamina Corp. (TSXV: PA, OTCQB: PLMNF) announced that it has signed a Share Purchase Agreement to acquire 100% of Sociedad Minera Vicus Exploraciones S.A.C. from Aurania Resources for 350,000 Palamina common shares and a 1% Net Smelter Return (NSR) royalty, with an option to buy back half the NSR for $1,000,000. This acquisition includes the Pluma sediment-hosted copper silver project in northeastern Peru, covering 9,800 hectares. The deal is expected to close by the end of June. Palamina aims to enhance its portfolio in Peru's copper silver sector and remains focused on its Usicayos gold project. The Pluma project is adjacent to Hannan Metals 's San Martin Copper Silver Project. Hannan plans a 2,000m drill program in 2024, enhancing the area's potential as a significant copper silver district. This transaction aligns with Palamina's strategy to secure valuable mining assets in Peru, offering shareholders exposure to promising mineral prospects.
Palamina Corp. has announced initial assay results from its 2024 field campaign at the Sol de Oro (SDO) Zone of its 100% owned Usicayos Gold Project in southeastern Peru. The SDO Zone is part of a 4.5 km long mineralized orogenic gold trend. Highlights include 26.67 g/t gold over 2 meters. Four mineralized target areas have been identified within SDO, with 15% of 169 channel samples yielding grades above 1 g/t Au. Significant geochemical and structural studies have been completed, with a 3,000-meter drilling program set to start in early July 2024.
Palamina is using metallic screening methodology for more accurate gold quantification. Initial drilling will focus on SDO N, where high-grade gold has been identified. A drone survey over the entire 4.5 km trend is underway to further define drill targets.
