Aeonian Reports Final Drill Results from Jake Target and Advances District-Scale Copper Exploration Model at Koocanusa
Aeonian’s calibration drilling at Koocanusa validated its geological model but failed to intersect economic-grade mineralisation.

Aeonian Resources Corp. (ALTN) has released the final assay results from its inaugural five-hole diamond drill program, totaling 1,229 meters, at the Jake Target on its 100% owned Koocanusa Copper Project in southeastern British Columbia. While the drilling did not intersect significant economic copper-silver intercepts, it successfully confirmed the presence of prospective Revett-equivalent stratigraphy at depth. The program identified widespread copper-bearing hydrothermal fluids, alteration zones, and structural controls, serving as a geological calibration exercise.
A statistical overview of the 944 core samples shows that 71 samples returned greater than 50 ppm Copper and 39 samples exceeded 100 ppm Copper. Selected highlights include:
- 0.50m at 607 ppm Cu
- 0.52m at 558 ppm Cu
- 0.69m at 77.7 g/t Ag and 6.11 g/t Hg
The company is transitioning from initial calibration drilling to regional exploration, planning mapping, soil geochemistry, and structural analysis to prioritize targets across its 360 km² land package.
Aeonian Resources Corp. (ALTN) released assay results that served as a direct follow-up to the completion of its five-hole drilling program in June 2026, at which time management had explicitly stated that results were pending. Consequently, the release was fully expected by the market. The results align precisely with the company's stated objective for this phase, which focused on geological calibration rather than immediate economic discovery.
While the grades are modest and below economic thresholds, the confirmation of Revett-equivalent stratigraphy and hydrothermal fluid pathways validates the district-scale exploration model. The market impact is neutral, as the company successfully met its immediate technical milestone without delivering a discovery, but without raising red flags about the project's geological viability.
Aeonian Resources Corp. is an early-stage exploration company focused on the Koocanusa Copper-Silver Project in southeastern British Columbia. The project covers approximately 360 km² within the Proterozoic Purcell Basin, targeting sediment-hosted copper-silver systems analogous to the Revett Formation in Montana, such as Hecla's Libby and Montanore projects.
The flagship Jake Target was the focus of the 2026 inaugural drill program, which tested a 130-meter-thick conductive sedimentary package. The company holds a 3-year exploration permit authorizing up to 200 drill sites, with year-round road access and low mobilization costs. No mineral resources or reserves have been defined; the project remains in the target generation and drilling phase.
