Toronto, Ontario — January 15, 2026 — Leads & Copy — American Eagle Gold Corp. (TSXV: AE) has announced drill results expanding the South Zone at its NAK copper-gold project in British Columbia.
Holes NAK25-55 and NAK25-62 extended shallow mineralization nearly 150 meters east-southeast, while NAK25-69 and NAK25-72 expanded it 150 meters to the west-southwest. NAK25-55 and -62 highlight near-surface mineralization along the southern edge of the Babine porphyry stock.
The South Zone has dimensions extending over 700 m in the east-west direction, 500 m in the north-south direction, and to over 800 m in depth. The holes in this release have contributed a high-confidence expansion of over 150 m in both the east-west and north-south dimensions from the previous iteration of the model.
Key highlights from the drill results include:
- NAK25-62: Extended near-surface mineralization 150 m east of NAK25-46, intersecting 140 m of 0.74% CuEq within 189 m of 0.61% CuEq starting near surface.
- NAK25-55: Extended near-surface mineralization 150 m south of NAK25-62, intersecting 134 m of 0.40% CuEq starting near surface.
- NAK25-69: Extended mineralization 150 m south of NAK25-41, intersecting 130 m of 0.62% CuEq within 409 m of 0.33% CuEq starting 215 m downhole.
- NAK25-72: Further westward extension of NAK25-69 drilled from the same location at a shallower inclination, intersecting 455 m of 0.31% CuEq starting 166 m downhole.
According to the company, the South Zone is characterized by strong grades, shallow mineralization, and minimal overburden. This area has the potential to support early-stage development scenarios while providing optionality for bulk mining approaches in adjacent zones.
Anthony Moreau, CEO of American Eagle Gold Corp., stated that the results reinforce the South Zone as the focus of their drilling program and highlight the large copper-gold system at NAK. He added that the consistent near-surface mineralization and step-out extensions confirm the scale and potential of NAK.
American Eagle is advancing its NAK copper-gold porphyry project in British Columbia. The Company has over $36 million in cash, with strategic investors Teck Resources and South32.
