[{"type":"text","content":" Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 11, 2026) - American Pacific Mining Corp. (CSE: USGD) (OTCQX: USGDF) (FSE: 1QC) (WKN: A422L8) (\"American Pacific\", or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the commencement of a field reconnaissance and surface sampling program at its Ziggurat Gold Project (\"Ziggurat\" or the \"Project\") in Nye County, Nevada. The field program was designed to advance the Company's understanding of priority target areas and expand surface geochemical coverage across the Project. During the program, field crews collected 59 rock samples and 20 stream sediment samples from prospective areas identified through prior geological mapping, geochemical work, and geophysical interpretation. \"Ziggurat is located in the emerging Round Mountain Trend in south central Nevada in an area dominated by calderas, epithermal gold/silver systems and sediment hosted expressions, including the nearby multi-million-ounce Northumberland gold mine,\" commented Managing Director of Exploration, Eric Saderholm. \"At least three stages of igneous and volcanic heat sources have generated multiple nearby prospects and operating mines. Our Phase I field work has identified abundant untested alteration zones over roughly 75% of this large property. We look forward to receiving assay results from our initial sampling, the results of which will allow for a more focused Phase II program in early Q3 and help to optimize a future drilling program.\" Ziggurat is located at the northern end of the Round Mountain Trend, an active and highly prospective mining region in Nevada that hosts several multi-million-ounce gold systems. The Project is located approximately 20 kilometres from the Round Mountain Mine and 13 kilometres from Gold Hill Mine, both operated by Kinross Gold Corporation, and adjacent to Newmont Corporation's Northumberland Mine (see Figure 1). Figure 1: The Ziggurat Gold Project’s location within broader mineralized district. The current reconnaissance and sampling program is focused on evaluating areas with favourable alteration, structural preparation, and geochemical signatures considered prospective for Carlin-type gold mineralization. Previous work at Ziggurat has identified strong pathfinder element geochemistry, including arsenic, mercury, and antimony, as well as a broad kilometre-scale alteration footp...
