Aftermath Silver outlines Q4 2025 drilling plans at Challacollo silver-gold project in N. Chile

Episode Summary

Aftermath Silver CEO Ralph Rushton joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update on the company’s exploration strategy for its flagship Challacollo Silver-Gold Project, located in Region 1 of northern Chile. The property hosts a low-sulphidation epithermal Ag-Au vein system with a significant established silver resource, making it one of the more prospective undeveloped silver projects in the region. Rushton shared that Aftermath plans to initiate a 7–10 hole diamond core drilling program in Q4 2025, targeting up to 2,000 meters of total drilling. Previous drilling campaigns primarily focused on the Loló́n Vein, the principal structure on the property, which has been drilled to approximately 200 meters below surface. Importantly, the oxidation zone bottoms at around 200 meters, and beyond this depth the mineralized structures remain open and largely untested. Notably, gold and base metal grades have been observed to increase at depth, further enhancing the project’s exploration potential. The upcoming drilling campaign has three key objectives to expand the current resource by extending known veins down dip and along strike. Test additional veins—both historically identified but untested, as well as newly interpreted structures within Aftermath’s land package and twin select RC holes to collect supplementary geological and metallurgical data, strengthening the company’s understanding of orebody characteristics and potential processing options. Rushton emphasized that this program is designed to both de-risk the existing resource and unlock new exploration upside, positioning Challacollo as a cornerstone asset in Aftermath’s growing silver-gold portfolio. #proactiveinvestors #aftermathsilverltd #tsxv #aag #otcqx #aagff #mining #SilverMining, #BerenguelaProject, #Mining #Silver #Copper #Manganese #Peru #DrillingResults #BatteryMetals #ResourceModel #Investing
