American Pacific Announces New Geological Discoveries and Target Vectoring in Preparation for Drill Program at Madison Copper-Gold Project in Montana

Executive Summary

• American Pacific Mining reports newly exposed 150 ft of underground ramp at the Madison Copper‑Gold Project due to lowered water levels, providing a high‑priority target for sampling and mapping.
• Discovery of a well‑developed phreatic breccia linking underground workings to the surface Victoria Pit, adding a second control point for vectoring toward potential porphyry sources.
• The new geological information is expected to sharpen drill targeting ahead of the planned drilling program beginning this quarter.

Key Details

• New exposure: Approximately 150 ft of additional decline became accessible as underground water levels dropped seasonally; zone is highly altered and has not been previously sampled.
• Phreatic breddia discovery: Located ~700 ft from the portal on the east rib, containing chalcocite veins and native copper; represents a second control point for defining breccia geometry (rake and plunge).
• Breccia inventory: With this find, at least six distinct breccia types are now recognized at Madison, underscoring hydrothermal system complexity.
• Exploration impact: The newly mapped breccia geometry strengthens the geological framework underpinning the company’s exploration model and will inform the upcoming drill program slated for Q1 2026.
• CEO comment: “The newly exposed, highly altered decline… gives our team tangible, geology‑based vectors that significantly sharpen our exploration model at Madison ahead of our planned drill program.” – Warwick Smith, CEO.
