Mammoth Resources Corp. has begun field activities at its 100% owned Tenoriba gold-silver property in Chihuahua State, Mexico.

Company geologists and a consulting metallurgist are on site to review drill core from 55 prior diamond drill holes distributed across an approximately four-kilometre strike length along a precious metals trend spanning the El Moreno, Masuparia, and Carneritos areas.

The on-site team is assessing access roads from the camp and core storage area to the primary mineralised zones, including the large 1.5-kilometre by 500-metre Carneritos area. Field crews are also evaluating drill pad access and locations for the company's permitted Phase 1, 60-hole maiden mineral resource diamond drill program.

In addition to preparing for resource drilling, personnel are collecting a sample of up to 200 kilograms from potential draw point areas within the Carneritos zone for advanced production-size, coarser-fraction vat and column leach testing as an advanced step toward designing initial, small-scale gold-silver leaching of oxidized material.

Mammoth is advancing these dual operating priorities to define a maiden mineral resource and pursue initial small-scale gold-silver production.

“We're excited to be on the ground at Tenoriba working to advance steps towards drilling what we believe could be a substantial maiden mineral resource at Tenoriba while at the same time also assessing a significantly advanced step to understanding gold-silver recoveries via a columns simulating material coarseness and leach pad dynamics in a production-like leaching scenario.”

“The Company looks forward to providing additional updates as this work is completed and we consider next steps towards maiden resource definition drilling and initial pilot-scale production at Tenoriba.”

— Thomas Atkins, President and CEO
