GMV Minerals (TSXV:GMV / OTCQB:GMVMF) has begun core drilling at the Mexican Hat gold deposit in southeast Arizona, mobilizing to test a 1,000 m strike and 400 m true width from elevation 1,565 m down to 1,185 m.

The program aims to test ~90% of the mineralization to confirm grade distribution, collect geotechnical data for open-pit modelling, and potentially upgrade the Inferred NI 43-101 resource of 36,733,000 tonnes at 0.58 g/t Au (688,000 ounces, effective August 8, 2025).
