Summary
Aftermath Silver CEO Ralph Rushton joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the start of new drilling campaigns at the company's Berenguela project in Peru and the Challacollo silver-gold project in northern Chile, aimed at expanding resources and testing new high-priority targets. At Berenguela, drilling has begun on the eastern edge of the current mineral resource estimate to follow up on previously identified high-grade copper mineralization. The initial program includes up to 1,000 metres of core drilling along two section lines near hole AFD139, which previously returned 69 metres grading 1.19% copper and 78 g/t silver. Rushton also highlighted hole AFD100, which delivered the longest copper intercept drilled at Berenguela to date, returning 156 metres grading 1.12% copper, 290 g/t silver, and 7.3% manganese from surface. The company said the current program could be expanded depending on drilling results. At the Challacollo Ag-Au Project in Chile, Aftermath has commenced an 800-metre, five-hole diamond drilling program targeting the extension of known mineralized veins below the current drilling depth. Management believes gold and base metal grades may improve at depth, while the down-dip extent of the mineralized structures remains largely untested. The Challacollo program will also evaluate previously undrilled veins, investigate new exploration targets across the property, and twin selected historic reverse circulation holes to obtain additional geological and metallurgical information. Management believes the dual drilling programs position Aftermath Silver to expand mineral resources and unlock additional value at two of its key silver-focused development projects. #proactiveinvestors #aftermathsilverltd #tsxv #aag #otcqx #aagff #mining #BerenguelaProj…
