/CNW/ - American Eagle Gold Corp. (TSXV: AE) ("
American Eagle
" or
the "
Company
") is pleased to announce that it is continuing to advance its
British Columbia
copper-
gold Porphyry project, NAK. The Company is fully funded for NAK's 2022 exploration program and is
awaiting its permit to begin drilling. American Eagle has contracted C.J. Greig and Associates to
advise and execute the Company's exploration program at NAK. Geologist and president of C.J
Greig & Associates,
Charlie Greig
, is a recipient of the prestigious 2022 Bill Dennis Award,
recognizing his contribution to the prospecting and exploration industry or a significant mineral
discovery.
About NAK Copper-Gold Porphyry Project
Interpretation of the historical geophysics data seemingly delineates an underlying multi-phase
porphyry source for the previously-drill-defined near-surface low-grade copper-gold mineralization.
The proposed 2022 drill program will test the top of the larger intrusive stock starting at a depth of
500-
600m
. This interpreted porphyry is a potential source and host for a deeper high-grade
orebody, which has never been drill-tested.
The planned drill program consists of 6-8 diamond drill holes totalling
4,500m
targeting the newly
identified geophysical feature within a well-understood copper-gold porphyry province. NAK's known
copper-gold porphyry mineralization is open at depth, and the compelling deep geophysical
signature is analogous to Newcrest's
Red Chris Mine
and Newmont's Tatogga project in northwest
BC.
