American Eagle Gold Corp. (TSXV: AE) (OTCQB: AMEGF) has announced its plans for exploration at the NAK Copper-Gold Porphyry project in 2025, aiming to build on the promising results from previous drilling campaigns. The company's ambitious 15,000-meter drill program, combined with an Induced Polarization (IP) ground geophysical survey, is set to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the NAK project's mineralized system and its potential for high-grade copper and gold resources.

The NAK project, located in the Babine copper-gold porphyry district of central British Columbia, has demonstrated significant potential with a large near-surface copper-gold system measuring over 1.5 km x 1.5 km. Historical drilling and geophysical, geological, and geochemical work at NAK revealed a very large near-surface copper-gold system that measures over 1.5 km x 1.5 km. Drilling completed in 2022, 2023, and 2024 by American Eagle has returned significant intervals of high-grade copper-gold mineralization that reach beyond and much deeper than the historical drilling, indicating that zones of near-surface and deeper mineralization, locally with considerably higher grades, exist within the broader NAK property mineralizing system.

The planned 15,000-meter drill program in 2025 is a significant increase compared to previous drilling campaigns at the NAK project. In 2022, American Eagle Gold Corp. drilled approximately 7,000 meters, and in 2023, they drilled around 8,000 meters. This means that the 2025 drill program will more than double the total meterage drilled to date, providing a much more comprehensive understanding of the NAK project.

By increasing the drilling meterage, the company aims to:

1. Further define, expand, and link the high-grade North and South mineralized zones, which have shown promising results in previous drilling campaigns. For instance, drill hole NAK23-12 intersected 530 meters of 0.61% copper equivalent (CuEq), and NAK23-17 intersected 302.1 meters of 1.09% CuEq.
2. Expand and outline near-surface potential, such as the area immediately west of the shallow high-grade mineralization encountered in NAK23-17, and similarly high-grade mineralization in historically untested or little-tested parts of the North zone.
3. Extend the near-surface high-grade and gold-rich quartz chalcopyrite vein stockwork style mineralization along the eastern margin of the South Zone, including to depth and eastward, toward drill hole NAK23-09, which intersected 117.4 meters of 0.4% CuEq from surface.

The Induced Polarization (IP) ground geophysical survey will play a crucial role in refining drill targets and enhancing the efficiency of the 2025 exploration program. This survey has proven to be effective in targeting at NAK, as demonstrated by the success of the Company's final hole of the 2023 season, NAK 23-17, which was largely targeted using an IP survey run immediately prior to drilling that hole. The data from the 2023 IP survey has since been modeled, in concert with historical IP and airborne magnetic data, and certain geophysical signatures and features appear to correlate well with elevated downhole CuEq grades. This correlation suggests that the IP survey will aid in drill targeting, helping to identify areas with higher potential for mineralization. By refining drill targets, the IP survey will enable the Company to make more informed decisions about where to drill, ultimately improving the overall efficiency of the 2025 exploration program.

In conclusion, American Eagle Gold Corp.'s plans for 2025 exploration at the NAK project demonstrate the company's commitment to unlocking the full potential of the NAK Copper-Gold Porphyry project. With a well-funded 15,000-meter drill program and an IP ground geophysical survey, the company is poised to gain new insights into the NAK project's mineralized system and make informed decisions about the project's future. Investors should keep a close eye on American Eagle Gold Corp. as it continues to advance the NAK project and create value for shareholders.
