American Pacific Receives Updated Permit and Prepares to Commence Next Phase of Drilling at the Madison Copper-Gold Project
American Pacific Mining Corp (CSE: USGD) (OTCQX: USGDF) has received permit approval for a focused 3,000 metre drill program at its Madison Copper-Gold project in Silver Star, Montana, set to begin in early Q2/2025.
The program will explore two porphyry targets, multiple skarn extensions, and high-grade fault systems. The Madison Project has undergone extensive review, integrating decades of exploration data, revealing five priority target areas for a district-wide exploration strategy.
The exploration will focus on the Silverstar Fault Complex, identified as a critical control on mineralization. Induced Polarization (IP) surveys have revealed significant geophysical anomalies along the fault system, highlighting prospective zones for skarn, porphyry, and orogenic mineralization in undrilled areas.
American Pacific Mining Corp (CSE: USGD) (OTCQX: USGDF) ha ricevuto l'approvazione per il permesso di un programma di perforazione mirato di 3.000 metri presso il suo progetto di rame-oro Madison a Silver Star, Montana, che inizierà all'inizio del secondo trimestre del 2025.
Il programma esplorerà due obiettivi porfirici, molteplici estensioni di skarn e sistemi di faglia ad alta legge. Il progetto Madison ha subito un'ampia revisione, integrando decenni di dati di esplorazione, rivelando cinque aree target prioritarie per una strategia di esplorazione a livello distrettuale.
L'esplorazione si concentrerà sul Complesso della Faglia Silverstar, identificato come un controllo critico sulla mineralizzazione. Le indagini di Polarizzazione Indotta (IP) hanno rivelato anomalie geofisiche significative lungo il sistema di faglia, evidenziando zone promettenti per mineralizzazioni di skarn, porfirite e orogeniche in aree non perforate.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 31, 2025) - American Pacific Mining Corp. (CSE: USGD) (OTCQX: USGDF) (FWB: 1QC1) ("American Pacific" or the "Company") is pleased to report that it has received updated permit approval corresponding to a focused 3,000 metre drill program at its Madison Copper-Gold project located in Silver Star, Montana, which is expected to commence in early Q2/2025. The drill program will test two porphyry targets, multiple skarn extensions and high-grade fault systems (see Figures 1-4).
The Madison Project ("Madison" or the "Project") has undergone a transformative process of review and integration, consolidating decades of exploration data, historical drilling records, geophysical and geochemical surveys, and field mapping efforts, and revealed five priority target areas, providing the foundation for a district-wide exploration strategy aimed at uncovering the full mineral potential of the Project.
"Following an intensive exploration campaign throughout 2024, we meticulously analyzed and validated a wealth of newly identified targets and substantiated the Project's potential for diverse mineralization styles, including skarn-hosted deposits, orogenic gold veins, porphyry-style systems and carbonate replacement mineralization," commented Eric Saderholm, P.Geo., Managing Director of Exploration and Qualified Person for the project. "This next phase of drilling will include near-mine extension drilling at the Broadway mine area, while also testing highly prospective porphyry concepts and regional discovery targets. We believe we are taking the most informed discovery shots drilled to-date at the Project."
The program is expected to demonstrate significant potential across the Madison district, advancing the Company's vision of uncovering a copper-gold system of meaningful scale.
Silverstar Fault Complex - Unlocking Exploration Upside
Central to the Company's exploration strategy is the Silverstar Fault Complex, a significant structural feature that underpins the district-wide drilling program. This fault complex has emerged as a critical control on mineralization, offering insights into the architecture of the Madison Project. Induced Polarization (IP) surveys have revealed compelling geophysical anomalies along the fault system, identifying highly prospective zones of chargeability and resistivity.
The upcoming drill campaign will strategically target these high-priority zones, leveraging the Silverstar Fault Complex as a structural guide to test for skarn, porphyry, and orogenic mineralization in undrilled areas.
