The claims, which were previously held by outside entities for nearly a century and only recently released for staking, now ensure American Pacific has valuable land control rights immediately adjacent to the historic Green Campbell gold-silver mine and Hudson and Broadway gold mines.
Several claims are located along the highly prospective Hudson Fault, a critical gold and copper-bearing structure central to the region’s base and precious metal mineralisation and within the footprint of the company’s regional drill programme. Securing this ground provides American Pacific with the opportunity to explore this corridor, which has undeniable potential, and unlocks an opportunity for discovery and mineralisation extension within an area long inaccessible to modern exploration.
“Our team’s commitment to diligent research has enabled us to seize a truly rare opportunity to amend and stake nine new claims, adding approximately 100 acres, in a highly prospective areas that had been inaccessible for nearly a century,” commented Managing Director of Exploration Eric Saderholm.
"These claims provide us strategic exposure to the heart of the Madison property’s most compelling exploration targets, including ground along the Hudson and Green Campbell Faults, which helped to localise mineralization in the historic high-grade Madison and Broadway gold and copper mines. Securing these long-inaccessible claims positions the company for meaningful discovery in an area with exceptional potential and the significance of this achievement cannot be overstated.”
