American Pacific Mining Corp (CSE: USGD) (OTCQX: USGDF) has provided an update on two ongoing drill programs at its Madison Copper-Gold Project in Montana and Palmer Copper-Zinc VMS Project in Alaska. The Madison program was expanded from 5 to 7 holes, completing 3,452 feet of drilling. Native copper was observed in several drill holes, with results expected in Q3 2024. At Palmer, 9 out of 14 planned holes have been completed as part of a CAD $17.5 million exploration budget for 2024.

The Palmer project builds on last year's success, which included the four most significant copper intercepts ever drilled at the site. The company aims to expand on the current mineral resource estimate of 4,677 tonnes at 3.92% CuEq (Indicated) and 9,594 tonnes at 3.40% CuEq (Inferred). American Pacific reports a strong balance sheet with CAD $6.17 million as of April 2024, fully funding both drill programs.

American Pacific Mining Corp (CSE: USGD) (OTCQX: USGDF) ha fornito un aggiornamento su due programmi di perforazione in corso presso il suo Madison Copper-Gold Project nel Montana e il Palmer Copper-Zinc VMS Project in Alaska. Il programma di Madison è stato ampliato da 5 a 7 perforazioni, completando 3.452 piedi di perforazione. Rame nativo è stato osservato in diversi fori di perforazione, con risultati previsti nel terzo trimestre del 2024. A Palmer, 9 su 14 fori programmati sono stati completati come parte di un budget di esplorazione di CAD $17,5 milioni per il 2024.

Il progetto Palmer si basa sul successo dell'anno scorso, che ha incluso i quattro più significativi intercettamenti di rame mai perforati nel sito. L'azienda punta ad ampliare l'attuale stima delle risorse minerali di 4.677 tonnellate a 3,92% CuEq (Indicate) e 9.594 tonnellate a 3,40% CuEq (Inferred). American Pacific riporta un solido bilancio con CAD $6,17 milioni ad aprile 2024, finanziando completamente entrambi i programmi di perforazione.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 30, 2024) - American Pacific Mining Corp (CSE: USGD) (OTCQX: USGDF) (FSE: 1QC1) ("American Pacific" or "the Company") is pleased to provide a progress update for two drill programs occurring at its Madison Copper-Gold Project ("Madison") in Montana and its Palmer Copper-Zinc VMS Project ("Palmer") in Alaska.

Madison Update

The Madison drill program was expanded from five (5) to seven (7) holes based on positive visual observations and real-time modeling updates that supported additional drill holes. A total of 3,452 feet (1,050 metres) were drilled and the Phase I program at Madison is now complete. Phase I drilling focused on near-mine extensions and areas where historical drilling successes*, including 14.69 metres ("m") of 12.10 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold ("Au") and further downhole 61.63 m of 6.97% copper ("Cu"), highlighted the potential to define future mineral resources with significant Au and Cu mineralization.

Native copper was observed in several drill holes (see Image 1) and the Company has completed detailed logging of lithology to enhance modeling to guide Phase II drilling with a view towards stepping out, drilling deeper and expanding the mineralized footprint well beyond the historical mine site area. Results from Phase I will be released beginning in Q3, 2024 once received and interpreted.

"We are thrilled to have drill programs occurring at two very high-grade western US copper and gold projects this summer, which will lead us into a catalyst-rich Q3 and Q4 this year as results are released," commented CEO Warwick Smith. "This has been one of our most active summer seasons of drilling ever for American Pacific and we are well positioned for growth with a healthy treasury, positive trends in the gold and copper markets and drill results we believe will further demonstrate the grade profiles and exploration upside at our flagship projects."

The next phase of drilling at Madison will follow up on successes from Phase I drilling, as well as on deeper regional targets within the western portion of the property where surface samples of up to 48.5 g/t Au are suggestive of a buried intrusive heat source.

Palmer Update

Drilling is well underway at Palmer with nine (9) holes of a fourteen (14) hole program completed to-date. The drill program is part of a planned CAD $17.5 million (USD $12.8 million [see March 25th, 2024 news release]) exploration and development budget for 2024, funded by both joint venture partner, DOWA METALS & MINING ALASKA LTD. ("Dowa") and American Pacific. This year's drilling has 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 6.54% Cu, 3.15% zinc, 0.42 g/t Au and 27.97 g/t silver (8.22% copper equivalent ("CuEq")) (see January 10, 2024 news release for full details).

The Palmer Deposits have demonstrated potential for significant mineralization beyond the current Indicated mineral resource estimate of 4,677 tonnes of 3.92% CuEq and Inferred mineral resource of 9,594 tonnes of 3.40 % CuEq**. At least sixteen separate known mineralized showings, many of which have never been drilled, exist on the property, with only two deposit areas included in the 2019 Amended Preliminary Economic Assessment.
