AuMEGA Metals (OTCQB: AUMMF) has commenced its 2025 winter drill program at Bunker Hill in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, following a brief weather-related delay. The company has deployed two diamond drill rigs at the Nitty Gritty targets, with a Reverse Circulation (RC) drill rig on site expected to begin bottom-of-hole/basal till sampling soon.
The program plans approximately 10,000 metres of drilling, with initial focus on Nitty Gritty—site of previously reported high-grade copper and silver outcropping samples—before moving to Bunker Hill West, where historic high-grade gold samples and recent geophysical surveys revealed significant structural complexity.
According to CEO Sam Pazuki, the company expects assay results from drill core and RC rock chips to begin arriving by mid-to-late March and continue regularly into Q2 2025.
AuMEGA Metals has completed a high-resolution airborne magnetic survey over their Hermitage Gold-Antimony Project in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The survey covered 234 km² with 4,756 line-kilometres across a 27-kilometer strike length.
Key findings revealed significant geological complexity and multiple structural features that align with previous high-grade samples, including:
- Gold samples up to 7.31 g/t
- Silver samples up to 193 g/t
- Antimony (stibnite) up to 2,044 ppm
The project shows geological similarities to major gold deposits like Bendigo and Fosterville in Australia, and Windfall in Quebec. The company plans to conduct comprehensive analysis of the geophysical data and launch an inaugural diamond drill program of up to 3,000 metres in late 2025.
AuMEGA Metals has announced its Q4 2024 activities report, highlighting significant exploration progress and a major C$16 million private placement. The company completed key exploration activities at its Bunker Hill project, including a high-resolution airborne magnetic survey covering 170 km² and a till program that revealed significant gold anomalies up to 148 ppb.
For 2025, AuMEGA plans approximately 20,000 metres of drilling, including a 10,000-metre program at Bunker Hill in Q1. The company's portfolio spans 110 kilometres along the Cape Ray Shear Zone in Newfoundland, hosting a gold Mineral Resource of 450,000 ounces Indicated (6.1Mt at 2.25 g/t) and 160,000 ounces Inferred (3.4Mt at 1.44 g/t).
The financing round was supported by existing shareholders and attracted new global resource funds. The company's exploration strategy focuses on systematic approaches in south-west Newfoundland's complex terrain.
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.

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.

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.
