American Eagle Gold plans largest drill programme on NAK yet
TSX-V-listed American Eagle Gold Corporation has announced its largest yet drill programme, at the Nakinilerak (NAK) project, with more than 50 000 m of expansion drilling planned in the next ten months.
NAK lies in the Babine copper/gold porphyry district of central British Columbia.
Three drills will start with the Phase 1, 32-hole programme totalling 23 000 m, while additional drill rigs are on standby to accelerate the programme as the season progresses.
Phase 2 infill and expansion drilling is expected to add 30 000 m of drilling from September this year through to March 2027.
American Eagle is targeting expansion of known mineralisation, with systematic step-out drilling planned around the entirety of the Babine porphyry stock – the structural core of the NAK property.
Select holes will also test higher-grade subzones, notably in the South zone and centrally within the Babine porphyry stock.
All of the Phase 1 drilling is 100% skid-accessed through an existing historical trail network, which enables efficient mobilisation and logistics.
The company explains Phase 2 drilling, which will happen in winter, will allow for aggressive follow-up drilling in areas that may have been difficult to access during the Phase 1 summer and fall months period – when water-saturated surface cover is at its most challenging.
American Eagle plans to publish an initial mineral resource estimate with the highest possible degree of confidence, ensuring the full extent of the NAK mineralisation system is captured.
Meanwhile, the company has appointed PLR Resources president Pierre-Luc Richard as a consultant to assist in moving the NAK project through exploration to development.
