American Pacific Mining has completed 2,048 metres of its 15,000-metre Phase I drill programme at the Madison Copper-Gold Project in Montana.

The metres completed to date comprise 1,620 metres of core holes targeting the porphyry and 428 metres of reverse circulation holes focused on near-surface skarn expressions and high-grade vein zones. Initial assay results from the current programme are expected to be published in the coming weeks.

A subsequent Phase II drill programme is scheduled to begin in fall 2026, including up to 7,500 metres of additional drilling following the evaluation of Phase I results.

“We are pleased with the progress of the Phase I drill program at Madison and are encouraged by what we are seeing in the rocks thus far,” commented Eric Saderholm, Managing Director of Exploration. “This Phase I program is testing the majority of our regional targets which are located distal to the known mines in untested areas. Phase II will focus on drilling in areas that return favourable results from this initial 2026 drilling program.”
