American Pacific Mining has launched a field reconnaissance and surface sampling program at its Ziggurat Gold Project in Nye County, Nevada, collecting 59 rock and 20 stream sediment samples to assess Carlin-type gold potential in priority target areas.
American Pacific Mining Corp. (CSE: USGD / OTCQX: USGDF / FSE: 1QC) has commenced a field reconnaissance and surface sampling program at its Ziggurat Gold Project in Nye County, Nevada, according to official disclosures. Crews collected 59 rock samples and 20 stream sediment samples from areas identified through prior geological mapping, geochemical work, and geophysical interpretation.
The program focuses on evaluating alteration, structural preparation, and geochemical signatures prospective for Carlin-type gold mineralization. Previous work identified strong pathfinder elements arsenic, mercury, and antimony along with a kilometer-scale alteration footprint and geophysical targets not yet drill-tested.
This development matters because Carlin-type deposits are a major gold source in Nevada. Expanding surface geochemical coverage and drainage-scale sampling will help prioritize drill targets. Stream sediment samples aim to identify upstream source areas for follow-up. Results are expected in Q2 2026. Samples are being analyzed at ALS Global Laboratories (ISO/IEC 17025 accredited) using ME-MS41 and Au-AA23 methods with chain-of-custody procedures. Industries impacted include gold exploration, mining services, and geochemical analysis.
Regional stakeholders include Nye County authorities, Nevada’s mining sector, and exploration finance markets.
For investors, the program represents early-stage generative exploration; mineralization indicators from rock chip sampling are selective and not necessarily representative of project-wide grade. Success depends on assay results aligning with pathfinder anomalies to justify drilling. The company’s commitment to QA/QC standards reduces technical risk but does not guarantee economic discovery.
American Pacific Mining Corp. is a mineral exploration company focused on precious and base metals in the western United States.
The Ziggurat Gold Project is an exploration-stage gold property in Nye County, Nevada, targeting Carlin-type mineralization.
