American Eagle Drills 802 Metres of 0.71% Copper Eq. from Surface, including 375 Metres of 1.01% Copper Eq.
American Eagle's NAK Project Delivers Yet Another Blockbuster Drill Hole, Reinforcing a Large, High-Grade System That Keeps Growing
The news release dated January 26, 2026, announces drill results from hole NAK25-78 at the 100%-owned NAK copper-gold project in British Columbia. The hole intersected 802 meters of 0.71% copper equivalent (CuEq) from a depth of 54 meters, including a higher-grade sub-interval of 375 meters of 1.01% CuEq. The company states these are among the strongest results to date and should significantly improve investor understanding of the scale and continuity of the high-grade South Zone. The release also notes the South Zone's current dimensions: 700 meters east-west, 500 meters north-south, and 800 meters vertical.
The most recent result is a material positive development, continuing a consistent trend of exceptional drill results since the 2025 program began. It represents one of the longest and highest-grade intercepts reported, further de-risking the project by demonstrating significant scale and continuity of high-grade mineralization. Historically, each set of results has expanded the known mineralized zones. The January 15, 2026, release expanded near-surface mineralization, and the December 11, 2025, release extended the South Zone by over 300 meters with high-grade intervals. This latest result builds upon that momentum, confirming the presence of a substantial, high-grade core. The news is in line with company projections of a large-scale system and meets or exceeds the high expectations set by prior results.
American Eagle Gold Corp. is a Canadian exploration company focused on its flagship NAK Project, a copper-gold porphyry system located in the Babine porphyry district of central British Columbia. The project is characterized by a large, near-surface mineralized footprint (over 1.5 km by 1.5 km) with high-grade zones being defined at depth and along strike. The 2025 drill program (30,000 meters) was the largest in the company's history and was fully funded by strategic investments. The project benefits from excellent infrastructure, road access, and gentle topography.
