Aftermath Silver Drilling at Berenguela Returns 33.2m @ 394g/t Ag + 1.19% Cu

Aftermath Silver Berenguela Project Drilling Completion Validates PFS Path Amidst Commodity Price Volatility

By The Northwire Desk — AI Analysis May 19, 2026 · 07:01 AAG · 0.79 Aftermath Silver Ltd.
Executive Summary
  • Aftermath Silver released assay results from 19 holes of its Phase 3 diamond drill program at the Berenguela silver-copper-manganese deposit in Peru.
  • The infill drilling successfully delineated high-grade mineralization within existing resource zones to assist in planning a potential starter pit.
  • Total core drilling completed across three phases is now 15,540m.
  • Significant intercepts reported include AFD165 (33.2m @ 394g/t Ag + 1.19% Cu) and AFD178 (multiple high-grade intervals).
  • Geological findings extended the known strike length of mineralization to at least 1,550m with host stratigraphy consisting of folded limestones.
  • Future work will shift focus to geotechnical holes required for the Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS), followed by exploration of Copper East and Southwest Intrusive targets.
  • CEO Ralph Rushton confirmed infill drilling in Domains 1 and 2 is finished, validating the 2025 mineral resource estimate.
Material Impact
  • The news confirms the completion of a critical infill drilling program necessary to de-risk the ongoing Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS).
  • While grades are high (394g/t Ag), this represents confirmation of existing zones rather than a new discovery, aligning with expectations set in March 2026.
  • The shift to geotechnical drilling is a standard procedural step following infill completion and does not introduce unexpected variables.
  • The financing completed in December 2025 ($20M) was explicitly intended to fund this work; the progress validates capital deployment without requiring immediate additional dilution.
  • Given the prior Material - Positive rating for March drilling results, this update is incremental confirmation rather than a fundamental change in project economics or risk profile at this stage.
