10.4m of 1.17% Cu, 12.17% Zn, 1.01g/t Au & 101.49g/t Ag American Pacific Mining (USGD.c USGDF) Drills 10.4m of 1.17% Copper, 12.17% Zinc, 1.01g/t Gold and 101.49g/t Silver From Palmer Copper-Zinc VMS Project
Today, American Pacific Mining (USGD.c USGDF) announced assay results from seven drill holes of its 16-hole program at the Palmer Copper-Zinc VMS Project in Southeast Alaska.
Key findings include high-grade mineralization at the South Wall Zone 1 and RW Zone, with notable results such as:
- Hole CMR24-194: 16.4 m grading 0.8% Cu, 8.4% Zn, 0.6% Pb, 0.72 g/t Au, 77.5 g/t Ag (5.1% CuEq).
- Including 10.4 m of 1.17% Cu, 12.17% Zn, 1.01 g/t Au and 101.49 g/t Ag (7.3% CuEq)
- Hole CMR24-193: 3.5 m of 0.1% Cu, 1.7% Zn, 0.6% Pb, 0.86 g/t Au and 92.4 g/t Ag (1.9% CuEq)
- Hole CMR24-192: 2.9 m grading 3.5% Cu, 0.68% Zn, 0.3 g/t Ag (3.8% CuEq).
Designed to continue infill drilling and testing the extents of the high-grade copper-zinc zones in Zone 1 and Zone 2-3, the program covered over 6,000m in 19 drill holes including 3 that were recollared.
Some exploration drilling targeted the North Wall, believed to be an offset of the South Wall mineralization. The results highlight continuous high-grade zones, aiding in defining mineralization ahead of an updated Mineral Resource Estimate and Technical Report.
USGD's VP Advanced Projects, Peter Mercer, commented:
"This year's drill program was successful in following up on last year's high-grade results, while better defining the known mineralization on the property, ahead of the updated Mineral Resource Estimate and Technical Report budgeted to begin this year,"
"The Palmer Project is located within a prolific mineral belt in Southeast Alaska. This mineral terrane extends hundreds of kilometres north and south of Palmer, hosting several historic and current mining operations. The Palmer and AG deposits are just two of the mineralized areas defined and drill tested to date, on the property that has district-scale potential."
