Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 12, 2025) - American Pacific Mining Corp. (CSE: USGD) (OTCQX: USGDF) (FSE: 1QC1) ("American Pacific" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that drilling has concluded at its 100%-owned Madison Copper-Gold Project ("Madison" or the "Project") located in Silver Star, Montana. The first phase of 2025 drilling included a total of eight (8) reverse circulation ("RC") drill holes for 1,795 metres testing four priority target areas identified through extensive data integration and analysis. Assay results from the program are expected to be released in July 2025.
Phase I 2025 drilling focused on porphyry and skarn targets located laterally and down plunge of known mineralization in addition to targets adjacent to the Broadway mine area. A larger second phase of core drilling is planned to test additional porphyry, skarn and regional discovery target areas that were part of a second permit. Successes from the first phase of drilling will also be followed up on as part of H2 2025 drilling.
"Our 2025 drilling has strategically focused on high-impact targets that we believe can deliver substantial value to our shareholders by revealing the true scale of the system beyond previously mined areas," said CEO Warwick Smith. "We look forward to assay results from the RC program and preparing for an exciting follow up campaign that will include further step-out and deeper drilling later this year."
