Aeonian reports final drill results from Jake target at Koocanusa
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / August 6, 2026 / Aeonian Resources Corp. (TSXV:ALTN) ("Aeonian" or the "Company") is pleased to report final assay results from its inaugural five hole diamond drilling program at the Jake Target within its 100% owned Koocanusa Copper Project in southeastern British Columbia. The program comprised 1,229 metres, including four follow up holes totalling 954 metres completed in June 2026 (see Company news release dated June 17, 2026).
The program provided the first subsurface geological information from Koocanusa and confirmed that prospective Revett-equivalent stratigraphy continues at depth. Although drilling did not identify significant copper-silver intercepts at the locations tested, localized anomalous metal values, alteration and structural features have refined the Company's understanding of the controls on mineralization and established a calibrated framework for future exploration across its approximately 360 km² land package.
Highlights
Completed the inaugural 1,229 metre, five-hole diamond drill program at the Jake target, representing the first subsurface test of the Koocanusa Project.
Four follow-up holes totalling 954 metres tested interpreted higher-priority portions of Jake between the surface copper occurrences and the deeper KOO26-01 intersection.
Confirmed the continuation at depth of prospective Revett-equivalent host rocks and identified alteration and structural zones interpreted to record hydrothermal fluid movement through the sedimentary package.
Demonstrated that structural architecture and hydrothermal fluid pathways are key controls on copper mineralization.
Results support the Company's evolving district-scale exploration strategy across 360 km² containing more than 50 km of prospective stratigraphy.
Future exploration will focus on applying the refined geological model to p
