High-Grade Drill Results at La Manchuria Project and Phase 3 Launch

Key Facts

1Norsemont Mining has resumed its Phase 3 exploration drill program at its gold-silver-copper project in Chile.

2The program comprises up to 5,000 meters of diamond drilling, with 1,700 meters already completed in 2025.

Astra Exploration reported high-grade drill results at its La Manchuria project in Argentina, featuring 500 g/t silver and securing Phase 3 funding. Expanding regional activity, Mogotes Metals Inc. is currently operating four drill rigs at its Filo Sur project in the Vicuña district, targeting porphyry and epithermal systems adjacent to the major BHP/Lundin Filo Del Sol resource. Meanwhile, Masivo Silver has completed its first hole at the Cerro Colorado Project in Mexico, extending depth due to visible mineralization. Additionally, Hi-View Resources has engaged APEX Geoscience for its 2026 summer field program in British Columbia, Canada. These developments highlight intensifying exploration efforts across Latin America and Canada to expand global mineral resources. Market participants are closely monitoring assay results to gauge the long-term strategic value of these mining assets.
