Lamington Project drill results grow Copper potential

Описание: Visionary Copper and Gold Mines CEO Max Porterfield joined Angela Harmantas at the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada or PDAC conference in Toronto to share news about the company’s ongoing exploration work at the Lamington Project in New Zealand and the encouraging results emerging from its latest drilling program.

Porterfield highlighted that Lamington hosts a sizable near-surface deposit containing gold, copper, zinc and silver, which offers strong potential for expansion. The company recently initiated its first modern exploration campaign on the property in roughly two decades, aiming to significantly grow the existing resource base.

Early drilling results have already delivered promising outcomes. The program successfully extended the strike length of the central portion of the deposit to the south while also identifying a new mineralized zone known as the Copper Ridge zone. Importantly, this new discovery lies adjacent to the current resource and outside the model pit, which Porterfield noted is an ideal location for additional resource growth.

Initial drilling intersected broad intervals of copper mineralization across approximately 100 metres, marking what Porterfield described as just the beginning of exploration in the area. As he explained, “it always starts one hole that leads to many more holes… it’s really a drill-baby-drill type of environment.”

Looking ahead, Visionary Copper and Gold Mines Inc plans to launch a more aggressive Phase 2 drilling program in the spring following winter conditions. The work will focus on expanding the newly discovered Copper Ridge zone and collecting metallurgical samples for a two-phase testing program. These efforts are expected to support a resource update and potentially lead to the publication of a maiden resource estimate for the property, possibly as early as 2027.
