Multiple holes also intersected broad disseminated mineralization, such as 56 m at 0.50 g/t AuEq in LMD-143, 54 m at 0.86 g/t AuEq in LMD-145, and 21 m at 0.87 g/t AuEq in LMD-146.
Astra confirmed lithological control on mineralization and reported completion of expenditures exceeding US$3 million, vesting an 80% interest in La Manchuria from Patagonia Gold, with an option to increase to 90% by paying US$5 million by August 11, 2028.
Astra Exploration (OTCQB:ATEPF) reported progress at its La Manchuria gold-silver project in Argentina and Don Mario gold project in Chile, plus new analyst coverage from ATB Cormark Capital Markets.
Phase III at La Manchuria completed 16 DDH holes totaling ~5,170 metres, with veins and/or veinlets intersected in every hole and assays expected between July and September. At Don Mario, Astra finished low-cost targeting work including satellite alteration mapping, CS-NSAMT, and geochemical and spectral surveys, outlining a 1.8 x 2 km silica-alunite anomaly. According to Astra, a recent C$15M financing supports ongoing work. On May 22, 2026, Zach Matheson of ATB Cormark initiated independent research coverage, and Astra engaged BTV for a one-time C$9,650 investor-awareness video.
Astra Exploration (OTCQB: ATEPF / TSXV: ASTR) has commenced a Phase III diamond drill program at the La Manchuria gold‑silver project in Santa Cruz, Argentina. Mobilization is complete and drilling is underway, testing Main Zone and Eastern Zone veins at ~250–300 m vertical depth.
The program is a minimum of 5,000 metres, expected to finish by mid‑June 2026. All planned drilling is fully funded; the company reports a treasury balance of approximately C$17,000,000. Additional drill and corporate updates will follow.
Astra (OTCQB: ATEPF) reported final assays from five drill holes at the La Manchuria gold-silver project, highlighting 2.3 m at 500 g/t Ag and 1.46 g/t Au (including 0.5 m at 2,197 g/t Ag and 6.23 g/t Au) in hole LMD-137. Phase II totalled 5,119 m; 23 of 25 holes intersected potentially economic mineralization. The West Feeder is outlined over ~750 m strike and remains open; the company is funded for a minimum 5,000 m Phase III program to test depth extensions and feeder convergence.
Astra Exploration (OTCQB: ATEPF) reported assays from seven Phase II drill holes at La Manchuria, Argentina, including 0.5m @ 2,371 g/t Ag & 11.09 g/t Au (LMD-130) and multiple other high-grade narrow intercepts. Several key veins (East and West Feeders) were extended along strike and remain open in all directions.
Company is fully funded for a minimum 5,000 metre drill program expected to begin in April; five holes remain pending assay results.
Astra (OTCQB: ATEPF) reported assays from seven Phase II drill holes at La Manchuria, Argentina, including 6.3 metres grading 837 g/t Ag and 3.32 g/t Au in the newly discovered Basalto Zone. Multiple holes returned gold and silver intervals; the system remains open in all directions. The company is funded for a further 5,000 metres of drilling expected to start in late March or early April.
Veins may converge at depth, creating high‑grade feeder targets; assays remain pending for 12 additional holes.
Astra Exploration (OTCQB: ATEPF) will exhibit and present at two Toronto events around PDAC 2026: the Metals Investor Forum (Feb 27–28) and PDAC 2026 (Mar 1–4).

Astra (TSXV: ATEPF) reported first assays from six Phase II drill holes at the La Manchuria gold-silver project, Argentina, with high-grade intercepts including 3.1 m @ 9.04 g/t Au and 1,286 g/t Ag (including 0.9 m @ 25.14 g/t Au and 3,102 g/t Ag) from LMD-121.
Other notable results include LMD-118 (1.4 m @ 16.44 g/t Au and 81 g/t Ag). Nineteen holes remain pending; the company plans geophysics in February and a second ~5,000 m Phase II in March 2026.
Astra Exploration (OTCQB: ATEPF) reports it is about halfway through a 10,000 metre Phase II diamond drill program at La Manchuria, with 5,119 metres in 25 holes completed. Initial assays are expected in December 2025 with most results in early 2026; drilling is paused pending results and will resume in early 2026.
Key technical highlights include a strike extension of the West Feeder from ~500 m to 800 m, veins or veinlets in every hole, a first continuous vein in the Eastern Zone (~200 m strike, up to 150 m depth), a new parallel structure ~350 m northeast (Road Zone), and a 3-D resistivity model that is successfully predicting subsurface veins.
Astra Exploration (OTCQB: ATEPF) has mobilized equipment and started a Phase II diamond drilling program at the La Manchuria gold-silver project in Santa Cruz, Argentina.
The program is planned for approximately 10,000 metres of DDH, with 5,000 metres scheduled by December 2025 and a further 5,000 metres in Q1 2026. All planned drilling is fully funded with a reported treasury balance of over C$7,000,000.
Phase I results (May 2025) indicated a larger-than-expected vein system with numerous near-surface intervals of significant gold and silver grades and support for an epithermal system open in all directions; detailed mapping shows low-temperature silica, vein fragments, and favorable host rocks in andesitic units and post-mineral breccias. Additional drill-program details will be released in coming weeks.
