  • Review of the historic wide spaced RAB/Aircore drilling (WAMEX Report a060944)1 within and to the west of St Patrick’s Well prospect shows gold anomalism extending for 3km, parallel to the mineralised structural trends from Wonder and Celtic mines in the west.
  • Next Steps at St Patrick’s Well:
    • Geological mapping and AC/RC drilling.
    • An artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI) enhanced targeting study is in progress. Results of this study are expected in Q1 2025.
Andrew Ford, GM Exploration

“The exciting results from the Augustus geology team’s first visit to the St Patrick’s Well prospect have not only confirmed the validity of previous data collected by MWGM but also defined several new promising vein trends.

“Defining structures related to gold mineralisation on adjacent tenure within similar granitic rocks that also relate to mineralisation within Augustus tenure significantly improves the prospectivity of this underexplored project.

St Patrick’s Well is just one of several priority targets defined at Music Well that will be followed-up with on-ground exploration and drilling”.

Top 5 Canadian Mining Stocks This Week: Adyton Sparkles with 97 Percent Gain

Welcome to the Investing News Network's weekly look at the best-performing Canadian mining stocks on the TSX, TSXV and CSE, starting with a round-up of Canadian and US news impacting the resource sector.

Statistics Canada reported on Friday (May 30) that real gross domestic product (GDP) gained 0.5 percent during the first quarter of 2025. Even on a per capita basis, real GDP posted a strong 0.4 percent increase.

The agency primarily attributed the rise to a 1.6 percent increase in exports during the quarter. The higher export amounts were led by a 16.7 percent growth in passenger vehicle exports and a 12 percent rise in industrial machinery, equipment and parts exports, both of which were driven higher in response to imposed and threatened tariffs from the United States.
