American Pacific Samples Up To 45.1 G/T Gold, 6.9% Copper And Significantly Expands Mineralized Footprint At Madison

(MENAFN- Newsfile Corp) Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 4, 2025) - American Pacific Mining Corp . (CSE: USGD) (OTCQX: USGDF) (FSE: 1QC1) ("American Pacific" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the successful completion of its Summer 2025 surface sampling field program at the Madison Copper-Gold Project (the " Project ") in Montana, USA.

Results confirm the presence of additional high-grade skarn-style mineralization at surface, along with polymetallic and porphyry-style indicators across the district, which has now been expanded to a 4-kilometre by 2-kilometre footprint . These findings strengthen the case for Madison as a large, fertile hydrothermal system hosting multiple mineralization styles, with near-term drill targets aimed at both shallow and deep-seated mineralizing centres. Data collected will help inform Phase II 2025 drill targets ahead of the next phase of drilling planned for the second half of 2025.

Summer 2025 Program Highlights

• Exceptional grades in multiple styles of mineralization - Assays up to 45.1 g/t Au, 6.9% Cu, and 73 g/t Ag from newly identified, structurally hosted quartz vein systems (see Table 1 and Figure 1)

• Footprint expansion validated by recent sampling and historical data - Integration of historical values, including up to 371 g/t Ag, 7.7% Pb, and 5.2% Zn, plus 2025 sampling extends skarn and CRD mineralization along strike (see Figures 2 and 3)

• Targeted sampling delivers new drill targets - 66 rock samples collected from newly mapped alteration zones generated multiple untested high-grade targets.

• Refined structural model - Updated mapping has improved the understanding of faults and fractures controlling mineralization.

"The Company's Summer 2025 field program at Madison has advanced our understanding of the district's scale, grade, and structural controls," commented Managing Director of Exploration, Eric Saderholm. "High-grade results, including assays up to 45.1 g/t gold , 6.9% copper , and 73 g/t silver , clearly show the strength of the mineralizing system and its ability to host multiple styles of mineralization, including skarn, CRD and distal epithermal expressions, with all indicators pointing to a porphyry source. The integration of new mapping, geochemistry, and structural analysis with historical datasets has expanded the mineralized footprint, confirming continuity and opening new exploration corridors and we look forward to the next phase of drilling during the second half of this year aimed at testing these numerous targets, including extensions to known skarn and CRD zones and deeper porphyry centres."
