Kairos Gold Inc. (TSX-V: KIRO) announced the commencement of its Phase Three diamond drilling program at the Oro Brillante concession, part of the company's 100%-owned Las Garillas Project in the Coquimbo Region of Chile. The 3,100-metre program, comprising 10 planned holes, aims to further define and expand the known mineralized footprint through targeted infill drilling and testing along the property's primary northwest-southeast structural corridor.
Drilling has commenced on hole OB-01-26, and results from the campaign are expected to provide important data to support a future mineral resource estimate. During site preparation and pad construction, the company encountered multiple zones of alteration and strong oxidation within the drill area, which further support its geological interpretation and the broader potential of the Oro Brillante project.
Michelle DeCecco, CEO of Kairos Gold, stated: "The crew is on site and the rig is turning; we are eager to expand our understanding of Oro Brillante and its potential. The geological characteristics observed during site preparation, including visible gold at surface, have been encouraging and continue to support our confidence in the project."
The Phase Three exploration program is expected to continue over the next 12 weeks. The company will provide updates and assay results as they become available. The scientific and technical information in this release has been reviewed and approved by Rodrigo Vasquez, P.Geo., a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101.
Kairos Gold is focused on advancing a portfolio of mineral exploration properties spanning 17,201 hectares across three projects in Chile, positioned within the prolific Chilean mega porphyry belt known for large-scale deposits of gold, silver, and copper.
