With copper and gold prices holding near all-time highs, investor interest in companies exploring or producing these metals remains strong. Today, one junior miner reported new copper -gold assay results showing meaningful expansion in its deposit’s potential resource footprint. With shares already trending higher since mid-2023, the latest news could further strengthen the bullish outlook for the company.

Abitibi Metals Corp. (CSE: AMQ) (OTCQB: AMQFF) announced new assay results from its Phase 3 drilling program at the B26 Polymetallic Deposit in Québec, revealing significant growth at the Western Copper-Gold Zone. A 150-metre step-out hole returned 3.2 metres grading 8.16% CuEq within a broader 11.0-metre interval averaging 3.93% CuEq, among the strongest results to date. The discovery confirms strong continuity and suggests a meaningful expansion of the deposit’s potential resource footprint. Drilling also extended the Zinc-Silver VMS Zone up to 225 metres and identified a new copper-gold zone approximately 300 metres west of the current model, underscoring the system’s robust mineralization across multiple horizons.

The latest results reinforce that the B26 deposit remains open along strike and at depth, highlighting its scalability and long-term growth potential. With 16,990 metres of its 20,000-metre Phase 3 drill program now complete and additional assays pending, Abitibi is well positioned to continue advancing the project. The company is fully funded through 2027 and plans to launch a 20,000-metre Phase 4 program in 2026 to further build on its success. Abitibi currently holds a 50% interest in B26, with an option to earn an additional 30% from SOQUEM Inc., a subsidiary of Investissement Québec.

Jonathon Deluce, CEO of Abitibi Metals, commented: "These latest results mark a very significant milestone for Abitibi Metals. The 150-metre step-out confirms that B26 has the grade, scale, and continuity to become a cornerstone copper-gold asset in Québec. We're now seeing consistent growth across multiple zones, from high-grade extensions in the west to expanding zinc-silver horizons at depth, all pointing to a much larger system than previously defined. With strong momentum, further assays expected, and a fully funded path through 2027, we're positioned to continue to showcase why B26 is one of Canada's next standout critical-minerals projects."

Shares of AMQ are currently up 2.78% at $0.37 while U.S. listed shares (AMQFF) rise 2.36% at $0.2688 in late-morning trading.
