Denarius Metals Hits High-Grade Gold Interval at Zancudo Project
Event summary
- Denarius Metals reported a 33-meter continuous interval grading 5.68 g/t gold in drill hole ZM-210 at its Zancudo Project in Colombia.
- The intercept includes high-grade sub-intervals of 20.18 g/t gold over 3.10 meters and 26.35 g/t gold over 2.50 meters.
- The 2026 drilling program aims to tighten drill spacing to 50 meters, potentially upgrading resource classifications.
- Approximately 40% of the surface in-fill drilling program at the Las Brisas Target has been completed by mid-August 2026.
The big picture
Denarius Metals' latest drill results at the Zancudo Project highlight the potential for significant resource growth, which could enhance the project's economic viability. The identification of high-grade intervals and the emerging Manto Antiguo Lower structure are strategic anomalies worth tracking, as they could lead to higher confidence resource classifications and support the company's production ramp-up plans. The results are part of a broader industry trend of junior mining companies leveraging drilling programs to unlock value in high-grade districts.
