AuMEGA Metals (ASX:AAM) Commences Winter Drill Program at Bunker Hill
Winter Drill Program Commencement
AuMEGA Metals has initiated its 2025 winter drill program at Bunker Hill with diamond drilling at Nitty Gritty targets using two drill rigs. The start follows a brief delay caused by inclement winter weather in Newfoundland and Labrador.
Future Drilling Plans
The company has mobilised a second rig to continue diamond drilling and will soon commence reverse circulation (RC) drilling, focusing on basal till and bottom-of-hole samples. AuMEGA plans to drill approximately 10,000 metres, contingent on results and weather, with assays expected by mid-to-late March and into the second quarter of 2025.
Executive Comments
Managing Director and CEO Sam Pazuki stated, “We are excited to kick-off our winter drill program at Bunker Hill. This comes following a short delay due to inclement weather that prevented the safe start-up of drilling activities. Despite the brief weather-related delay, we’ve adapted by launching with diamond drilling and mobilising a second rig to stay on track with our high-priority targets. RC drilling will follow soon, focusing on basal till / bottom-of-hole in key areas. At this stage, our winter program remains on course for approximately 10,000 metres of drilling, with final totals depending on results and weather. We are initially drilling targets at Nitty Gritty, the site of our high-grade copper and silver outcropping samples that we previously reported. Drilling will then move to Bunker Hill West, the site of historic high-grade gold samples in outcrop and where the Company’s recent geophysical survey highlighted significant structural complexity. We anticipate assay results from drill core and RC rock chips to start arriving by mid-to-late March and regularly well into the second quarter of 2025 as our program progresses.”
