A.I.S. Resources Kicks Off Summer Drilling Program in New Brunswick
Event summary
- A.I.S. Resources has engaged ICor Drilling Services for a Phase 1 diamond drilling program in New Brunswick, targeting approximately 2,000 meters of drilling.
- The program aims to test priority exploration targets identified through geological compilation and airborne geophysical surveys.
- Drilling is anticipated to commence between July 15 and August 1, 2026, subject to permit approvals and field logistics.
- The projects—Saint John, Pocologan, and Frenchmans Creek—are early-stage and focus on IOCG-style mineralization and structurally controlled copper-gold-silver targets.
The big picture
A.I.S. Resources is transitioning from target generation to active drilling, a critical phase in assessing the economic potential of its New Brunswick properties. The region’s historical mineral occurrences and favorable geological settings make it a strategic focus for early-stage copper-gold-silver exploration. Success here could position A.I.S. as a key player in unlocking critical minerals in the Appalachian volcanic belt.
