Black Mammoth Metals Extends Target Zone and Obtains Drill Permit at Mustang Gold and Silver Property, NV
Black Mammoth secured Mustang permits while expanding low-grade sampling southward at its Nevada project.
Black Mammoth Metals Corporation (BMM) has expanded its exploration footprint at the Mustang Gold and Silver property in Nevada, extending its primary target zone to the south as "Mustang South." The company secured a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Notice of Intent drill permit for both the Mustang Main and Mustang South areas. Recent trenching and rock sampling at Mustang South yielded 15 of 25 samples exceeding 0.100 g/t Au, with a peak grade of 0.403 g/t Au. An induced polarization (IP) survey conducted in the area identified overlapping anomalies linked to quartz veins, gold mineralization, and elevated levels of indicator elements including arsenic, antimony, and mercury.
Exploration efforts at Mustang North have revealed extensive advanced argillic alteration and potential concealed magmatic-hydrothermal vents, marking the first evidence of such features at the site. To support these activities, BMM acquired two federal lode claims for $10,000 and staked 54 new claims. This expansion brings the company’s total property position to 203 claims, covering approximately 1,658 hectares. Additionally, the company granted up to 1,160,000 incentive stock options to directors and consultants at $4.30 CAD/share, with the options vesting over a three-year period.
Black Mammoth Metals Corporation (BMM) has reached a procedural milestone with the issuance of its BLM drill permit, which is expected to follow the April 2026 gravity survey and December 2025 acquisition updates. This permit enables the next phase of exploration but does not constitute a discovery.
Rock chip sampling results have returned low grades, with a peak of 0.403 g/t Au. While this is typical for early-stage epithermal and porphyry exploration, it does not materially alter the project's valuation or significantly de-risk the asset.
Additionally, the company granted options at the current market price of $4.30 CAD. This grant is dilutive to existing shareholders and reflects standard compensation practices rather than serving as a strategic capital raise.
The news follows a clear historical progression of geophysical surveys, claim acquisitions, and permit applications. It is incremental and aligns with prior management guidance to advance the Mustang project toward drilling.
Black Mammoth Metals Corporation (BMM) is a junior exploration company focused on the western United States, primarily Nevada, with assets in Idaho, Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, and California. The company holds 100% interests in 25 core exploration properties covering approximately 55,000 acres (20,257 hectares).
Flagship projects include Mustang (NV), Leadore (ID), and Amador (NV). The strategy relies on geophysical surveys (IP, gravity, magnetic) to identify targets, followed by drilling to verify historical data and potentially define NI 43-101 compliant resources. No current NI 43-101 resources have been declared; historical estimates remain unverified.
