Aftermath Silver Begins Drilling at Berenguela Eastern Copper Target and Challacollo Silver Project in Chile
Aftermath expands high-grade copper-silver targets at Berenguela and Challacollo with new drilling results.
Aftermath Silver Ltd. (AAG) has initiated drilling at the eastern limits of the Berenguela mineral resource in Peru to investigate high-grade copper intercepts identified in previous programs. The company has completed 15,540m of core drilling across three phases at Berenguela, with infill drilling around potential starter pits now complete.
The Berenguela program targets extensions of significant historical copper intercepts, including hole AFD139 (69m @ 1.19% Cu + 78g/t Ag) and AFD100 (156m @ 1.12% Cu, 290 g/t Ag, 7.3% Mn).
In a separate development, an initial 5-hole diamond core program of approximately 800m has begun at the Challacollo Silver-Gold project in Chile to expand the existing resource and test unexplored veins. The Challacollo targets include Lolón North, Lucy North, and Palermo North, aiming to extend veins down-dip and along strike, and twin previous RC holes for geological and metallurgical data.
Aftermath Silver Ltd. (AAG) released a routine update aligning with its Phase 3 drilling plan and exploration roadmap announced in late 2025 and early 2026. The company is continuing operations at Berenguela’s eastern copper target and Challacollo to expand resources and support the ongoing Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS).
The update marks a continuation of the exploration campaign, with no new financial, strategic, or regulatory milestones announced. The focus remains on delineating high-grade silver-copper-manganese mineralization to feed into metallurgical testwork and mine scheduling for the PFS.
Aftermath Silver Ltd. is a junior explorer advancing three silver-gold projects in Chile and Peru. Its flagship asset is the Berenguela Silver-Copper-Manganese Project in southern Peru, which hosts Measured & Indicated resources of 122.5 moz Ag, 717.1 Mlb Cu, and 2.93 Mt Mn. The company also holds other assets, including the Challacollo Ag-Au project in Chile with 35.15 moz Ag indicated, and the Cachinal Ag-Au project in Chile with 16 moz Ag indicated. The project is positioned as a critical metals source, with high-purity manganese sulphate (HPMSM) as the primary economic driver alongside silver and copper.
