Extending Higher Grade Copper Mineralization Last week, American Pacific Mining (USGD.c USGDF) released the final assay results from a 16-hole drill program at its Palmer Copper-Zinc VMS Project in Southeast Alaska.
The program aimed to extend high-grade copper mineralization, specifically in the South Wall Zone 1 and Zone 2-3, as well as to initiate exploration in the North Wall Alteration Zone.
Significant results include an 18.0-meter interval grading 1.5% copper and 5.4% zinc (4.4% CuEq), with a higher-grade subset of 6.6 meters at 3.6% copper and 7.7% zinc (7.4% CuEq) with additional intersections including 7.2 meters at 0.3% copper and 3.0% zinc (1.8% CuEq) and 4.8 meters at 1.4% copper and 9.9% zinc (5.7% CuEq).
Notably, these results underscore the presence of a high-grade copper core within the broader mineralized envelope and reveal zinc grades exceeding those in the 2018 Mineral Resource Estimate.
CEO Warwick Smith noted that this year’s infill drilling reinforces last year’s strong copper findings in Zone 1, with Zone 2-3 also showing significant copper and zinc intersections. American Pacific is now working to remodel mineralization in line with local geology and plans to update the full mineral resource estimate and technical report for the Palmer property.
