TORONTO, July 6, 2026 /CNW/ - Denarius Metals Corp. (Cboe CA: DMET) (OTCQX: DNRSF) ("Denarius Metals" or the "Company") provided an update today on the initial drill results from its 2026 surface in-fill diamond drilling program on the Las Brisas Target at its Zancudo Project in Colombia. The results announced today have been received from the final assays for the first four drill holes totaling approximately 660 meters carried out from the first purpose-built surface drill platform.
Highlights
Multiple high gold and silver grade intercepts were intersected in the first in-fill drill holes completed on the Las Brisas Target, providing further confirmation of the high-grade nature of the mineralization previously modelled on the Manto Antiguo and Santa Catalina structures.
7.43 g/t Au and 15 g/t Ag over 1.20 m from 93.8-95.0 m, hole ZM-195, Santa Catalina, including 28.70 g/t Au and 38 g/t Ag over 0.30 m from 94.3-94.6 m.
8.36 g/t Au and 1,670 g/t Ag over 1.0 m from 160.3-161.3 m, hole ZM-197, Manto Antiguo, including 27.83 g/t Au and 5,564 g/t Ag over 0.30 m from 160.60-160.90 m.
Serafino Iacono, Executive Chairman of Denarius Metals, commented, "This early progress at the Las Brisas Target reinforces our confidence in the continuity and quality of the known ore deposits at Zancudo. The 2026 in-fill drilling program has been designed taking into account the successful results achieved in our 2024 in-fill drilling campaign and underscores the potential and prospectivity of delineating new zones and expanding existing ones near planned mining infrastructures. We look forward to providing further updates through the course of this year's drilling campaign".
Las Brisas Target – Details of the Drilling Results
The Las Brisas Target represents an unexploited block within the Manto Antiguo structure preserved by past mining. The in-fill drilling program for the Las Brisas Target has been designed at 50x50 meters drill centers from eight platforms (IF-5 to IF-12) aimed at better delineating and confirming the consistency of mineralization on the two ore-shoots outlined by previous drilling on the Manto Antiguo and Santa Catalina structures, of which the Manto Antiguo ore shoot is controlled by the intersection of the Manto Antiguo and Santa Catalina structures and which usually shows wider and higher-grade intercepts.
The drilling program on the Las Brisas Target commenced in late April 2026 with one drill rig operating from purpose-built surface drill platforms and comprises a total of approximately 6,000 meters of drilling to be carried out in 29 diamond drill holes. The results announced herein have been received from the final assays for the first four drill holes totaling approximately 660 meters carried out from the first purpose-built surface drill platform (IF-7).
The initial drilling was successful in confirming the high-grade gold and silver mineralization in the ore-shoots outlined by previous drilling on the Manto Antiguo structure. All the drill holes completed to date on Manto Antiguo, totaling approximately 560 meters, have intercepted the structure at the estimated depth with maximum intersection grades of 27.83 g/t Au and 5,564 g/t Ag over 0.30 m from 160.60-160.90 m (ZM-197).
Initial drilling was also successful in confirming the high-grade gold and silver mineralization in the ore-shoot outlined by previous drilling on the Santa Catalina structure. All the drill holes completed to date on Santa Catalina, totaling approximately 660 meters, have intercepted the structure at the estimated depth with maximum intersection grades of 28.70 g/t Au and 38 g/t Ag over 0.30 m from 94.30-94.60 m (ZM-195).
