ACDC Metals has confirmed contracts for a maiden reverse-circulation drilling program and a geophysical survey at the Mount Jackson gold-silver project in Nevada.

The company has engaged FTE Drilling USA Inc to complete up to 2,500 metres of drilling across approximately 15 holes, with operations targeted to start in the fourth quarter of 2026. The program will test extensions to gold-silver mineralisation at the Pegasus Zone and execute initial drilling at the 3 Shaft Zone.

Prior to drilling, KLM Geoscience will run a 12-line-kilometre Controlled Source Audio Magnetotellurics geophysical survey starting in September to refine and prioritise targets defined by earlier aeromagnetic work.

"It's pleasing to confirm contracts are now signed for the next stage of our geophysical survey program and for a maiden drill campaign before year-end. The CSAMT program starts in September and will provide the team with better information to refine and prioritise drill targets."

— Tom Davidson, Chief Executive Officer

Following its initial acquisition of the project in April 2026, ACDC Metals expanded the holding from roughly 3.6 square kilometres to 13.3 square kilometres through claim staking in May 2026. Environmental permitting is currently underway with the Bureau of Land Management, with existing access roads and previously cleared drill pads expected to reduce site works, bonding and reclamation expenses.
