Aldebaran Enhances Copper-Gold Estimates at Altar Project
Aldebaran Infill Drilling Results at Altar Project
Vancouver-based Aldebaran Resources Inc. is proud to announce significant results from the infill drilling program conducted at the Altar Copper-Gold Project. The focus of this program is to upgrade existing resources classified as Inferred to Measured and Indicated, enhancing the overall project value.
Infill Drilling Overview
Aldebaran’s recent drilling program involved 11 holes targeting both the Altar Central and Altar United zones. This infill drill program has aimed at confirming the continuity of known mineralization, with the results expected to significantly boost resource classifications.
Key Highlights
The drilling results reveal several promising metrics:
- ALDE-25-038EXT: Recorded an impressive 578.00 meters averaging 0.51% CuEq from a depth of 372.00 meters, including sections with 0.60% and 0.62% CuEq.
- ALDE-25-118EXT: Analyzed 557.00 meters at 0.39% CuEq from 352.00 meters depth.
- ALDE-25-135EXT: Showed 383.40 meters at 0.47% CuEq, demonstrating continuation of mineralization.
