Abitibi Metals (CSE:AMQ) has delivered a 124% resource increase for the B26 Project in Canada, containing 13 million tonnes @ 2.1% copper-equivalent in the indicated category.
The resource also contains an additional 12.3 million tonnes @ 2.2% copper-equivalent, bringing the total defined resource to more than 25 million tonnes.
Abitibi Metals says in addition to increased tonnage, the updated resource reflects material growth in contained metal across all reported commodities compared with the prior estimate. Contained copper increased by 40%, gold by 22%, silver by 21%, and zinc by 9%.
These increases reflect continued expansion of the polymetallic system across the indicated and inferred resource categories.
The mineral resource estimate for B26 is supported by an expanded technical database, incorporating 356 drillholes for 172,164m of drilling.
Mineralisation remains open laterally and at depth at B26.
Further, Abitibi Metals has begun a fully funded 40,000m phase four drilling program at B26, which is expected to continue throughout this year.
Mineralisation at the B26 Project is composed of stacked massive and semi-massive polymetallic sulphide lenses extending over 1km within a strongly dipping basin filled with felsic volcanics.
The project is located 7km south of the Selbaie Mine and is 90km west of the Matagami mining camp and 140km north-northwest of Amos in Abitibi.
Abitibi Metals is a diversified mineral developer focused on discoveries in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt of Canada.
The company will be attending this year’s Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC), held from 1-4 March 2026 in Toronto, Canada. Mining.com.au is an official media partner for this year’s PDAC.
