American Pacific Mining reports assay results from seven holes of its sixteen-hole drill program at the Palmer Copper-Zinc VMS Project in Southeast Alaska. Key highlights include hole CMR24-194 with 16.4m of 0.8% Cu, 8.4% Zn, 0.6% Pb, 0.72 g/t Au and 77.5 g/t Ag, including a high-grade section of 10.4m at 7.3% copper equivalent. The 2024 drill program, part of a CAD $17.5M exploration budget funded through a joint venture with Dowa Metals & Mining Alaska, completed 6,035.9 metres across 19 drill holes, focusing on infill drilling and testing high-grade copper-zinc mineralization zones.
American Pacific Mining Corp (CSE: USGD) (OTCQX: USGDF) has reported high-grade underground sampling results from its 100%-owned Madison Copper-Gold Project in Montana. The company collected four samples from the upper levels of the Madison Mine, with highlights including:
- 45.50% Cu and 2.17 g/t Au
- 31.00% Cu and 8.40 g/t Au
- 23.30% Cu and 1.90 g/t Au
- 3.19% Cu and 0.14 g/t Au
The samples were taken across a 20-foot section, with each sample being five feet wide. CEO Warwick Smith emphasized that these high copper values demonstrate the grade potential of the Madison mineralized system. The company has also commenced a comprehensive geological exploration program aimed at identifying new mineralized zones and expanding known areas of interest. This program will inform future drilling and exploration plans.
American Pacific Mining Corp (CSE: USGD) (OTCQX: USGDF) has announced high-grade drill results from its Madison Copper-Gold Project in Montana. Key findings include:
- APMMAD24-06: 12.34 m of 10.36 g/t Au and 0.88% Cu, including 30.96 g/t Au over 3.66 m
- APMMAD24-09: 3.66% Cu over 8.14 m, 29.72 m of 2.09% Cu and 9.75 m of 1.56% Cu
The results show open-ended mineralization to the west, south, and at depth. The company plans to expand exploration in Phase II, targeting the Rader Creek contact, which extends over 1 km west and 2 km southeast. The findings suggest potential for both epithermal and porphyry-style mineralization on the property.
American Pacific Mining Corp (CSE: USGD) (OTCQX: USGDF) has completed a radiometric survey at its 100%-owned Madison Copper-Gold Project in Montana. The survey covered 462 line kilometers of drone flight with 25-metre spacing, aiming to identify potassium anomalies essential for porphyry formation. This innovative approach to skarn/porphyry exploration is expected to provide valuable data for planning a larger Phase III regional exploration program.
Managing Director of Exploration, Eric Saderholm, highlighted the unique application of radiometric technology in copper and gold exploration, emphasizing its potential to reveal regional targeting information that traditional mapping cannot provide. The survey was prompted by the historic documentation of uraninite within the Madison Skarn mineralization and a strong correlation between copper and uranium in the skarn minerals.
American Pacific Mining Corp (CSE: USGD) (OTCQX: USGDF) has reported assay results from the first three holes of its seven-hole Phase I drill program at the Madison Copper-Gold Project in Montana. Highlights include:
- APMMAD24-02: 38.25 m of 1.28% Cu and 1.22 g/t Au (2.34% Cu Eq)
- APMMAD24-05: 32.71 m of 3.15 g/t Au and 45.45 m of 0.96% Cu
- APMMAD24-01: 1.04 g/t Au over 17.04 m and 0.43% Cu over 17.37 m
The results demonstrate significant gold and copper mineralization extending beyond historical mined areas. CEO Warwick Smith stated that the broader than expected intervals highlight potential for mineralization left behind from historical mining. Future targeting for Phase II drilling will focus on possible expansion to the west and at depth.

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 has started a 2024 diamond drill program at its Palmer Copper-Zinc VMS Project in Alaska, in partnership with Dowa Metals & Mining.
