American Pacific Mining Corp. announced that it has received the permits necessary to commence drilling at the Madison Copper-Gold Project in Montana, USA. The five-hole diamond drill campaign, which is expected to commence in first quarter of 2024, is designed to further define and expand on known near-surface, high-grade copper and gold mineralization, while extending beneath known mineralization to provide a foundation for deeper exploration in areas which have seen limited historical drilling.

The programs sets out to achieve three key objectives: test shallow gap areas; tighten drill spacing at moderate depth within the skarn to support a future mineral resource estimate; and extend below known mineralization to provide valuable information for deeper exploration in subsequent campaigns. Previous drilling in this area returned drill intersections of 14.44 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold ("Au") over 6.53 metres ("m") and 6.97% copper ("Cu") over 61.63 m. This program is, in part, a follow-up to the work done during previous partner-funded campaigns.
