Vancouver-based precious metals exploration company American Pacific Mining Corporation has launched a 15 000 m reverse circulation (RC) and diamond core drill programme at its Madison copper/gold project, in Montana.

The drilling campaign will concentrate on shallow skarn mineralisation for 10 000 m and deeper porphyry mineralisation for an additional 5 000 m.

The company has selected five top-ranked skarn and porphyry targets for drilling following comprehensive technical evaluation and analysis, which represent the most well-defined targets to date.

RC drilling will be used primarily for rapid and cost-effective testing of near-surface skarn targets, while diamond drilling will focus on deeper targets where the company believes there is potential for porphyry-related mineralisation beneath and adjacent to the known skarn system.

The staged RC and core approach is designed to provide steady operational progress while allowing near-surface target testing to advance alongside deeper system-scale exploration.

"We're thrilled to have drilling underway at Madison, where we're now methodically testing the highest-quality skarn and porphyry targets ever identified at the project. These targets are the product of rigorous data integration, meticulous analysis of both legacy and contemporary information, and advanced three-dimensional geological modelling. We are excited to see drilling results enhance and validate our current geological interpretation of Madison," says CEO and director Warwick Smith.
