Hercules Metals (TSXV: BIG) has released further assay results from their Leviathan porphyry copper discovery at their flagship Hercules Project. A total of three drill holes conducted in 2025 saw assays released this morning, characterized by the continued intersection of copper and silver mineralization.
Highlights from the results include:
- HER-25-15: 0.60% copper, 6.0 g/t silver, 65 ppm molybdenum over 420.62 metres from a depth of 300.23 metres
- Including 1.38% copper, 14 g/t silver, 40 ppm molybdenum over 112.78 metres
- HER-25-17: 0.39% copper, 2.1 g/t silver, 49 ppm molybdenum over 585.22 metres from a depth of 321.56 metres
- Including 2.17% copper, 16 g/t silver, 65 ppm molybdenum over 46.03 metres
- Including 12.52% copper, 11.3 g/t silver, 80 ppm molybdenum over 6.1 metres
- Including 2.17% copper, 16 g/t silver, 65 ppm molybdenum over 46.03 metres
- HER-25-19: 0.31% copper, 4.1 g/t silver, 58 ppm molybdenum over 164.9 metres from a depth of 168.86 metres
- Including 0.54% copper, 7.1 g/t silver, 56 ppm molybdenum over 41.45 metres
“Given the scale of the mineral system that has been defined so far, and the multiple conductive centers that have been identified along trend, we estimate that drilling to date has tested less than 20% of the overall target area at Hercules,” commented Dillon Hume, VP of Exploration for Hercules Metals.
Geophysics conducted at Leviathan meanwhile have identified a total of five conductive centers that are to be tested over the course of the 2026 drill season. One of those conductive centers occurs at the northern end of the footwall zone, with HER-25-17 intersecting the anomaly.
Drilling meanwhile is set to recommence in 2026 upon final assays from the 2025 program being received. A contract has been signed with Dorado Drilling USA for the program, although few details were provided on the planned program.
Hercules Metals last traded at $0.75 on the TSX Venture.
