Albright Metals (ASX:ABR) has returned its second batch of assays from drilling at the Vail Road gold deposit within the Golden Pike Project in New Brunswick, conducted in November and December 2025.
The company drilled 15 holes across 1,020.5m in last year’s campaign, with assays from the first four holes returned in January 2026.
The second batch of assays incorporates nine holes, with highlights including 5m @ 3.9 grams per tonne gold from 56m, including 1m @ 17.2g/t gold from 57m; 2.33m @ 24.81g/t gold from 51.92m, including 1m @ 57.5g/t gold from 53.25m; and 3.4m @ 1.7g/t gold from 4.7m, including 1.2m @ 3.13g/t gold from 6.1m.
The company says shallow intercepts returned from drilling indicate the continuity of grade to surface in areas across the vein system.
The 2025 drilling campaign was focused on infilling portions of the parallel zone to test continuity, replicate historical holes to ensure quality, infill shallow portions of the Main Zone, collect structural data on vein contacts, and acquire sufficient core samples.
CEO Greg Hill says the assays confirm the Vail Road gold deposit’s “exceptional high-grade nature”.
“The results support Albright Metals’ plans for rapid progression to a mineral resource estimate reported under the JORC code and mine development studies,” Hill says.
As reported by Mining.com.au, Albright divested several Bryah Basin tenements within the Bryah Basin Manganese Joint Venture in Western Australia to Catalyst Metals (ASX:CYL) for $1 million and 105,387 shares.
Albright Metals is a mineral explorer focused on antimony, copper, gold, lithium, and manganese across Australia and Canada.
