Core Insights - Aftermath Silver Ltd. has reported significant assay results from its Phase 2 diamond drill program at the Berenguela silver-copper-manganese deposit in southern Peru, highlighting the potential for high-grade mineralization in the Eastern Zone [1][4]. Drilling Results - The drilling program included two step-out sections, with hole AFD100 returning the longest copper intercept to date at 156 meters, grading 1.12% Cu, 290 g/t Ag, and 7.3% Mn [2][6]. - AFD100 also recorded the two highest silver assays at Berenguela, with results of 12,354 g/t Ag over 1.0m and 16,151 g/t Ag over 0.95m, leading to a combined result of 1.95m at 14,252 g/t Ag [3][7]. - The current drilling results are from 9 holes, with the total drilling program increased to 5,200 meters, and further results are expected in the coming weeks [4][5]. Geological Context - The Eastern Zone is characterized by elevated copper levels and is considered a higher temperature zone, potentially linked to a porphyry-style intrusive source [4][12]. - The geology of the Berenguela deposit includes folded thickly bedded limestones and dolomitized limestones, with significant manganese oxide replacement mineralization associated with silver and copper [14][15]. Company Positioning - Aftermath Silver is positioned well in the critical metals space, with silver, copper, and manganese being major contributors to the mineralization, which are essential for clean energy and battery applications [5][24]. - The Berenguela project is strategically located near infrastructure, enhancing its development potential [25].
