Aftermath Silver Ltd. announced that a targeted follow-up drill campaign of 4,000m of diamond drilling has started at its Berenguela Ag-Cu-Mn project in Puno province, southern Peru. The drill program has three main objectives: 1. to upgrade part of the inferred resources to measured or indicated resources primarily on the western and northern margins of the known mineralisation; 2. to further define the mineralisation between the western and central areas; and 3. to drill untested areas in the south-east zone of the known mineralisation in an area where historic drilling encountered higher copper grades than the main area of mineralization. Aftermath has retained AK Drilling of Lima, who completed Aftermath's successful 2021/22 63-hole program to complete the current planned drilling.
AK will be using a D800 drill rig which requires less site preparation and can drill in areas of steeper topography which were not accessible in the 2021/2 campaign. Assays will be carried out at ALS in Lima. Following results, Aftermath intends to update the resource inventory at Berenguela, during 2025.
