American Tungsten (CSE:TUNG) CEO Ali Haji says the company is focused on advancing targets within its IMA Mine Project in the US, which supports its mission to become the first tungsten producer in the nation.
The company has added an additional 3,850 feet of drilling across nine holes, which will be drilled from the second and third D-Level drilling stations.
As part of an underground drilling program, 2,120 feet of drilling across six holes has been completed at the IMA Mine. The final hole from the first D-Level drill station is now underway.
The company says drilling continues to intersect quartz veins with hubnerite mineralisation, with vein intersections occurring over an area 400 feet along strike and 250 feet up-dip from the D-Level.
Haji notes initial drillholes are intersecting the vein system along strike of historical resources.
“While assay results are still pending, these early intersections reinforce the geological model and validate our disciplined, phased approach to resource expansion,” the CEO says.
Underground rehabilitation is also advancing on the upper D Level and the Zero Level, to support ongoing drilling activity.
The Zero Level drill program has expanded from 6,700 feet to 8,000 feet, with the addition of a new drill station for the first and second phase programs.
Phase one drilling is focusing on five priority targets consisting of the No. 5 and No. 7 Vein Systems, IMA West Vein, Eastern Vein, and the Main IMA Vein. The program was designed to systematically test multiple sheeted tungsten veins up-dip and along strike of historical resources defined on the D-Level of IMA.
American Tungsten aims to further delineate the historically identified tungsten vein systems and address compelling low-risk targeted areas for expansion of known mineralisation by the end of Q1 2026.
