Aftermath Silver CEO Ralph Rushton joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss additional assay results from the company’s Phase 3 diamond drill program at the Berenguela silver-copper-manganese deposit in southern Peru, as the project advances toward pre-feasibility.
Rushton said the latest results cover the final 15 holes from a 90-hole, 15,540-metre diamond drilling campaign completed across three phases. These most recent holes were focused on infill drilling along a 100-metre strike length within the existing resource area, with the objective of defining high-grade mineralization suitable for a potential starter pit and improving mine planning confidence for future operations.
The infill drilling program around the proposed starter pit areas is now complete, and management expects the results to play an important role in metallurgical testwork, mine scheduling, and the ongoing pre-feasibility study.
Rushton noted that drilling in Domain 2, near a small historic open pit, delivered particularly strong copper results accompanied by high manganese values. He said the results continue to highlight the multiple potential value streams at Berenguela, which hosts silver, copper, and manganese mineralization.
To follow up on the high-grade copper mineralization identified at the eastern end of the deposit, Aftermath is mobilizing a second drill rig. The new program will target extensions to the zone where hole AFD-100 previously intersected 156 metres grading 290 g/t silver, 1.12% copper, and 7.3% manganese. Additional drilling is also expected to begin shortly at the Southwest Intrusive Skarn copper target, while geotechnical drilling continues in support of the pre-feasibility study.
Management believes the completed infill program marks an important step in advancing Berenguela toward development by refining the starter pit design, supporting technical studies, and further demonstrating the project’s polymetallic value potential.
