Aumega Metals Ltd Stock Price, News & Analysis

AuMEGA Metals (AUMMF) has announced its largest exploration program since 2021, fully funded by a C$16 million financing raised in late 2024. The program includes approximately 13,000 metres of diamond drilling and 7,000 metres of RC Bottom-of-Hole drilling across multiple projects.

The main focus will be the Bunker Hill Project, with 10,000-12,000 metres of winter drilling planned for Q1 2025. The project has shown high-grade copper samples of up to 17.2% and silver values up to 19.1 g/t. Additional exploration includes a 5,000-metre drill program at the Cape Ray Gold Project and a 3,000-metre inaugural drill program at the Hermitage Gold-Antimony Project.

The company holds 110 kilometres of strike along the Cape Ray Shear Zone, with B2Gold as a strategic investor and neighboring operations by Calibre and Eldorado Gold. Drilling at Bunker Hill is expected to commence in early February 2025, with assay results expected within 4-6 weeks of sampling.

The placement included hard dollars shares at C$0.050 per share and flow-through shares at C$0.06 and C$0.06825 per share. Combined with the first tranche that raised C$8.77 million, the total offering amounts to C$16.07 million.

The proceeds will fund the company's exploration program in Newfoundland and Labrador, including a planned 20,000-metre drill program at the Bunker Hill Project, and exploration activities at Hermitage and Malachite. The company paid approximately C$775,150 in total finder's fees for both tranches. The securities are subject to a four-month hold period in Canada.

AuMEGA Metals reports significant findings from its Bunker Hill and Malachite projects along the Cape Ray Shear Zone in Newfoundland. At Bunker Hill West, till sampling revealed notable gold anomalies of 148 ppb and 94 ppb gold, correlating with historical outcrop samples of up to 18.67g/t gold. The area shows significant structural complexity and high-grade copper-silver values. At Malachite, reconnaissance drilling confirmed gold and copper mineralization, though at non-economic levels. The company plans to prioritize Bunker Hill for its 2025 exploration program, which is expected to be their largest drill program in three years.

AuMEGA Metals has completed the first tranche of its private placement financing, raising C$8.77 million through the issuance of 131,152,889 ordinary shares. The placement included 9.26M shares at C$0.050/A$0.054 and 121.89M flow-through shares at C$0.06825/A$0.07408. A second tranche placement of 129,535,778 shares for C$7.34 million awaits shareholder approval on December 4, 2024. The funds will support exploration in Newfoundland and Labrador, including a 20,000-metre drill program at the Bunker Hill Project, and exploration at Hermitage and Malachite projects.

AuMEGA Metals has completed its first reconnaissance till program at the Intersection Project in Newfoundland, Canada. The survey covered 15x7 kilometers with 914 samples collected, identifying four large areas with significant gold anomalism. Notable results include peak values of 173 ppb gold and 5.82 g/t silver with coincident bismuth and copper anomalism. The largest anomalous zone is situated within the Windsor Point Group Sediments, host rocks of the Company's Central Zone deposits. The project's location at the convergence of two major structures - the Cape Ray Shear Zone and Hermitage Flexure - makes it highly prospective for gold mineralization.

AuMEGA Metals (TSXV: AUM) (OTCQB: AUMMF) has successfully raised C$16.3 million through an upsized private placement financing. The financing includes:
