American Pacific Completes its 2024 Drill Program at Palmer Copper-Zinc VMS Project in Southeast Alaska
American Pacific Mining Corp (CSE: USGD) (OTCQX: USGDF) has completed its 2024 drill program at the Palmer Copper-Zinc VMS Project in Southeast Alaska. The program, part of a CAD $17.5 million exploration budget, included 6,035.9 meters of drilling across 19 holes. It aimed to expand on the 2023 results, which yielded significant copper intercepts, including 43.8 m of 6.54% copper. The drilling focused on expanding the South Wall Zone and testing the North Wall Target. 1,353 samples have been submitted for analysis, with results pending. The program was completed ahead of schedule with zero incidents, demonstrating improved drilling productivity.

- Completion of a 6,035.9-meter drill program, expanded from the original plan due to positive observations
- Part of a well-funded CAD $17.5 million exploration and development budget
- Building upon previous high-grade copper intercepts (43.8 m of 6.54% Cu)
- Improved drilling productivity reported, impacting future program planning
- Program completed ahead of schedule with zero incidents or injuries
- All assay results are still pending, creating uncertainty about the actual outcomes of the drilling program
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 29, 2024) - American Pacific Mining Corp (CSE: USGD) (OTCQX: USGDF) (FSE: 1QC) ("American Pacific" or "the Company") is pleased to announce the completion of a drill program at its Palmer Copper-Zinc VMS Project ("Palmer") in Southeast Alaska. The 2024 program was part of a planned CAD
Palmer Project Update
The 2024 drill program included a total of 6,035.9 meters ("m") (19,650 feet) in nineteen (19) drill holes including three (3) drill holes (125.8 meters; 410 feet) that were recollared. The program was expanded from an originally planned fourteen (14) drill holes based on positive visual observations and real-time modeling updates.
This year's drilling program focused on building upon the results of last year's campaign where the four most significant copper intercepts ever drilled at Palmer were reported earlier this year, including 43.8 m of
The drill program was designed to continue expanding the known extent of the high-grade copper mineralization of the South Wall Zone 1 and Zone 2 and testing prospective alteration areas. Thirteen (13) drill holes (4,876.8 meters; 16,000 feet) tested the structural controls and extensions to the high-grade copper and zinc mineralized trends.
The program also included a series of exploration drillholes to test the nearby North Wall Target. The North Wall Target represents a potential fault offset extension of the South Wall mineralization. Three (3) drill holes were completed for 1,033.3 meters (3,390 feet).
A total of 1,353 samples have been submitted for multi-element analysis with all assay results pending.
"We are delighted to have completed another successful exploration program with zero incidents or injuries throughout the summer. We look forward to publishing results in the coming weeks and months," commented Peter Mercer, Senior VP of Advanced Projects. "We'd like to thank our staff and contractors for their outstanding efforts in delivering a safe and efficient field program, ahead of schedule. We have seen significant improvements in diamond drilling productivity year over year, which will have a significant impact on the planning and implementation of future programs."
