Area groups confirmed the presence of three separate porphyry outcrops within the IP Embayment zone, marking a doubtlessly vital discovery. This zone has now been prioritized for additional exploration and drilling efforts on account of its promising geophysical and geochemical traits.
Drilling actions, significantly in drill gap NAK24-19 concentrating on the western margin of the zone, have intersected disseminated and vein-hosted chalcopyrite mineralization under 700 meters depth. This mineralization is similar to that noticed in different focused zones just like the North and South zones of the mission, indicating substantial continuity of mineralization throughout totally different areas of the property.
The continuing 2024 drill program goals to increase upon and higher outline these mineralized zones, together with connecting historic North and South zones with extra drilling. This strategic strategy is supported by earlier drilling outcomes, which have proven high-grade copper-gold mineralization extending past historic depths.
Exploration actions at NAK began within the Sixties, focusing totally on shallow depths by way of drilling and varied geological and geochemical surveys. Current drilling efforts performed in 2022 and 2023 by American Eagle counsel the presence of a number of zones of mineralization at various depths inside the wider NAK property, some displaying considerably increased grades than traditionally encountered.
