Battery Age Minerals (ASX:BM8) is set to conduct exploration work across the El Aguila Gold and Silver Project, with several activities kicking off in March 2025.
A detailed structural mapping program, alongside geological interpretation will be carried out first, followed by extensive soil and rock sampling to refine target zones.
Upon completion, geophysical surveys, such as LiDAR, magnetic, and induced polarisation, will be conducted to delineate subsurface structures.
Battery Age will then conduct systematic trenching and channel sampling to confirm high-priority drill targets, ahead of a maiden drilling program scheduled for the first half of this year.
In parallel, Battery Age will work to secure necessary regulatory and land access approvals, which will involve initiating environmental reviews, beginning permitting processes, and engaging with local landholders and the Santa Cruz government.
CEO Nigel Broomham says the addition of El Aguila strengthens the company’s position in Argentina’s premier gold district.
“The project exhibits outstanding geological potential, with high-grade gold and silver mineralisation already confirmed,” Broomham says.
“With the favourable gold market, we are fully committed to accelerating exploration at El Aguila, fast-tracking our efforts to unlock its full potential.
“With a strong technical team and a focus on systematic exploration, Battery Age Minerals is well-positioned to unlock the full value of the El Aguila Project.”
The El Aguila Project, spanning 9,124 hectares, benefits from well-established mining infrastructure and its proximity to multiple operating gold-silver mines.
Battery Age Minerals is a diversified explorer focused on developing and advancing its projects considered prospective for a range of critical resources.
