American Pacific reports underground sampling results at Madison project

During a recent visit to Madison, the Company accessed the upper levels of the Madison Mine and collected four samples from the ribs of the old mine workings where visible copper oxidation and copper sulfide mineralisation remains in the exposed back and ribs.

Sample highlights

• MADZH24-003: 45.50% Cu and 2.17 g/t Au.
• MADZH24-001: 31.00% Cu and 8.40 g/t Au.
• MADZH24-002: 23.30% Cu and 1.90 g/t Au.
• MADZH24-004: 3.19% Cu and 0.14 g/t Au.

Sampling methodology

Samples were collected across a 20-foot section, with each sample being five feet wide. These were taken in the form of channel samples, ensuring representative material was extracted for analysis. This consistent sampling methodology helps provide accurate and reliable data reflective of the target area.

“These incredibly high copper values from the past underground workings highlight the type of grade the mineralised system at Madison can carry, and our recently completed Phase I drilling demonstrated that significant grades continue well beyond the areas mined out by predecessors,” commented CEO Warwick Smith. “Our ongoing regional sampling and structural mapping work is designed to refine our step-out and extension focused drilling plans and generate additional discovery targets throughout the broader property package. We look forward to sharing further results and our updated 3D model and Phase II plan in 4Q24.”
