American Pacific Mining (OTCQX: USGDF) highlighted that copper was added to the U.S. Geological Survey 2025 Critical Minerals List on November 6, 2025.
The release notes the Trump Administration expanded the list to 60 minerals and has launched four funding initiatives totaling nearly US $1 billion with grants up to $250 million, plus direct equity investments such as a 5% stake in the Thacker Pass lithium project. Management said the change could support permitting, funding, and awareness for U.S. copper projects including American Pacific's Madison (Montana) and Palmer (Alaska) copper-gold projects.
American Pacific Mining (OTCQX: USGDF) highlights the strategic value of its Palmer VMS Project in Southeast Alaska as a potential U.S. source of barite (BaSO4).
Key facts: Palmer hosts an NI 43-101 resource with 980,000 tonnes barite Indicated and 3.05 million tonnes Inferred; 2018 SGS metallurgical tests produced oilfield-grade barite with 91.1% flotation recovery; Imarc cited a $157/tonne barite price in Q2 2025. The release cites USGS and Visual Capitalist findings on near-100% U.S. import reliance and a potential $1 billion GDP exposure from major supply disruption.
American Pacific Mining (OTCQX: USGDF) received a key drill permit and is preparing Phase II drilling at its 100%‑owned Madison Copper‑Gold Project, 43 km SE of Butte, Montana.
Phase II will test large porphyry targets at depth beneath known high‑grade skarn zones, follow up step‑out skarn holes along the Silver Star corridor, and drill shallow structural targets and district anomalies guided by IP, magnetic, geochemical and 3D structural models. Historical highlights cited include 30.18 m @ 24.50 g/t Au and 10.97 m @ 41.65 g/t Au from underground drilling, and grab assays up to 38.5 g/t Au and 33 g/t Ag.
American Pacific (OTCQX: USGDF) congratulated Trilogy Metals on the Ambler Road Project advancement after the Trump Administration directed reauthorization of necessary permits for development in Alaska's Ambler Mining District on October 7, 2025. The company said the project enables road access to a major undeveloped copper and polymetallic belt and strengthens U.S. critical minerals supply chains.
American Pacific highlighted a $35.6 million U.S. government partnership in Trilogy Metals, including a 10% federal equity stake, and said the improved permitting and federal support materially enhance development prospects for its Palmer Project in Southeast Alaska.
American Pacific Mining (OTCQX: USGDF) has secured drill permit approval for its Madison Copper-Gold Project in Montana, located 43 kilometers southeast of the Berkley Pit Mine. The company has received approval for 7 drill pads, with an additional 12 pads pending authorization.
The planned drilling program includes up to 30 holes from multiple pads, featuring two deep 900-metre tests targeting porphyry deposits. The program will explore high-priority targets identified through geological mapping, geophysical surveys, and 3D modeling, including potential porphyry copper-gold centers and high-grade skarn targets along the Silver Star structural corridor. Surface sampling has revealed impressive results of up to 38.5 g/t gold and 33 g/t silver in a newly identified mafic intrusion.
American Pacific Mining (OTCQX: USGDF) has announced significant results from its Summer 2025 surface sampling program at the Madison Copper-Gold Project in Montana. The program revealed exceptional grades including up to 45.1 g/t gold, 6.9% copper, and 73 g/t silver from newly identified quartz vein systems.
The mineralized footprint has been expanded to a 4-kilometer by 2-kilometer area, with multiple styles of mineralization including skarn, CRD, and distal epithermal expressions. The company collected 66 rock samples from newly mapped alteration zones, generating multiple untested high-grade targets. Integration of historical values, including samples with up to 371 g/t silver, 7.7% lead, and 5.2% zinc, has extended known mineralization along strike.
The company plans to proceed with Phase II drilling in the second half of 2025, targeting both shallow and deep-seated mineralizing centres.
American Pacific Mining (OTCQX: USGDF) has provided a significant update on its 100%-owned Palmer Project, a high-grade copper-zinc-barite VMS deposit in Southeast Alaska. The company is actively pursuing strategic options including spin-out, joint venture partnership, or asset sale to accelerate development. Key operational changes include demobilizing the Willscot Camp to save $200,000 monthly and activating the Big Nugget Camp.

The Indicated resources stand at 4.77 million tonnes grading 1.69% copper and 5.17% zinc, while Inferred resources total 12.00 million tonnes at 0.57% copper and 3.92% zinc.
The company is launching extensive exploration programs including drone-based surveys, geological mapping, and sampling, with a particular focus on copper-cobalt mineralization and gold prospects in the Porcupine-McKinley Creek area.
American Pacific Mining (OTCQX: USGDF) has reported significant drill results from its Madison Project, with notable intersections including 44.1 g/t Au over 1.5m within a broader interval of 10.2 g/t Au over 7.6m in hole APMAD25-08.
The Phase I drilling program has established a crucial link between the historic Broadway and Madison mine areas, demonstrating structural and stratigraphical connectivity. Key findings include copper mineralization of 0.5% Cu over 27.4m and gold mineralization of 0.7 g/t Au over 16.8m in hole APMMAD25-05.
The results suggest the presence of a deeper porphyry system, supported by elevated bismuth tellurides and other pathfinder minerals. The company plans to commence its next phase of drilling in H2 2025, focusing on delineating the potential porphyry system.
