Auriginal Mining Corp. Commences Trading as AUME, Advances Roger Drilling Plans

By The Northwire Desk — AI Analysis Dec 04, 2025 · 06:01 AUME · 0.075 Auriginal Mining Corp.
AUME · Price

Executive Summary

  • Kintavar Exploration Inc. has officially renamed itself Auriginal Mining Corp. and begun trading on the TSX Venture Exchange under the ticker AUME.
  • Drill planning for a 2026 Phase I program at the Roger VMS project (Quebec) is complete, with a targeted start in February 2026.
  • The Phase I campaign will drill a minimum of 4,675 m of diamond holes to test newly identified off‑hole VMS conductors and the deep continuation of the historic Au‑Cu deposit.

Key Details

  • Corporate Renaming & Listing
  • Former name: Kintavar Exploration Inc.
  • New name: Auriginal Mining Corp. (TSXV: AUME).

  • First day of trading on the Toronto Venture Exchange as AUME confirmed.

  • Drill Planning Completion

  • Phase I drill program for winter 2026 is fully planned and ready for a February start.

  • Planning includes detailed target selection based on downhole EM surveys in nine historic holes that identified strong off‑hole conductors.

  • Target Areas & Geophysical Rationale

  • NE Target: Strong 500‑siemens plate located 250–300 m NE of previous holes, aligned with historic Cu‑Zn‑Ag‑Au intercepts; top priority for massive sulfide discovery.

  • SW Target: Additional moderate to strong conductors coincident with historic high‑grade base‑metal intervals, suggesting a second potential massive sulfide center.

  • Phase I Drilling Scope

  • Minimum 4,675 m of diamond drilling across the Roger mineralized system.
  • Objective: intersect gold‑rich massive sulfide horizon at ~500 m vertical depth along 1.5 km strike length.

  • Downhole EM surveys will be conducted in every new hole to refine vectoring toward the VMS core.

  • Technical Oversight

  • Technical information reviewed and approved by Qualified Person Charles Beaudry, P.Geo (1202) and géo. (311).

Notable Quotes

“The Roger deposit’s reinterpretation opens a compelling new exploration frontier for massive sulfide mineralization beneath the known gold‑copper system. Our Phase I drill plan is designed to rigorously test this hypothesis and advance Auriginal’s discovery pipeline.” – Peter Cashin, CEO
