American Pacific Receives Permit To Drill High-Grade Madison Copper Gold Project In Montana

Vancouver, BC – December 20, 2023 – American Pacific Mining Corp (CSE: USGD) (OTCQX: USGDF) (FWB: 1QC) (“American Pacific” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has received the permits necessary to commence drilling at the Madison Copper-Gold Project (“ Madison ” or the “ Project ”) in Montana, USA.

 

The five-hole diamond drill campaign, which is expected to commence in Q1, 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”) (see news release dated January 22, 2022) and 6.97% copper (“Cu”) over 61.63 m 1 . This program is, in part, a follow-up to the work done during previous partner-funded campaigns.

 

“The Madison Project has always been of keen interest to our team, given its historical high-grades and still limited exploration,” commented CEO Warwick Smith. “Madison has been shown to carry significant grades, particularly in the skarn and we look forward to extending skarn mineralization, as we prepare to conduct more comprehensive exploration into the porphyry-style mineralization beneath.”

Notes:

Quality Assurance and Procedures of Madison Drilling Data
Both Broadway and Rio Tinto employed ALS Global during their drilling programs, an ISO 9001:2008 certified Assay Laboratory. Analysis and assay quality were deemed sufficient by the company geologists. Use of blanks, checks and standards ensured that all QA/QC measures were in place during these programs as assurance of lab accuracy and no issues were detected during the respective programs. Exact procedures are documented in the updated Madison 43-101 found on the APM website. Both companies used the same assay codes and procedures:

 

ME-MS61L (Super trace lowest DL 4 acid by ICP-MS)
Au-ICP21 (Au 30g fire assay with ICP-AES finish)
ME-OG62 for elements above detection limit (Cu-OG62 for Cu>7000 ppm)
