USGD · Price

Executive Summary

  • American Pacific Mining Corp. has amended and staked nine new claims within its flagship Madison copper-gold project in Montana, securing approximately 100 acres of strategically located ground.
  • The newly acquired claims provide direct access to the historic Green Campbell, Hudson, and Broadway gold-silver mines and lie along the prospective Hudson fault, a critical structure for mineralization in the region.
  • This acquisition unlocks exploration opportunities in an area that had been inaccessible to modern exploration for nearly a century, positioning the company for potential discovery and extension of known mineralization.

Key Details

  • Claims Staked: Nine new claims amended and staked by American Pacific Mining Corp.
  • Location: Greater Madison Claim Block, south of Butte, Montana.
  • Land Control: Adds approximately 100 acres to the company's portfolio.
  • Strategic Adjacency: Claims are immediately adjacent to the historic Green Campbell gold-silver mine and the Hudson and Broadway gold mines.
  • Geological Target: Several claims are located along the Hudson fault, a critical gold- and copper-bearing structure central to regional base and precious metal mineralization.
  • Exploration Context: The ground is within the footprint of the company's regional drill program.
  • Historical Production Context:
    • Madison project produced 2.7 million pounds of copper (grades 20-35%) prior to 2012.
    • 2017 drilling at Madison reported:
      • 30.18 metres of 24.50 g/t gold and 0.39% copper (Hole UG17-05).
      • 10.97 metres of 41.65 g/t gold and 0.38% copper (Hole UG17-06).
    • Nearby Broadway/Hudson mines reported total production of approximately 147,000 ounces of gold at 9.9 g/t.
  • Geological Link: Recent drilling demonstrates a structural and stratigraphic link connecting past-producing mines along a northwest-trending corridor of altered quartz monzonite and associated skarn.
