EXPLORATION- February 2025
Drilling Begins at Flank Prospect to Unlock Gold–Copper–Molybdenum Potential in Laos
Annamite Resources is pleased to announce the commencement of drilling at the Flank Prospect within our Vangma Tenement, marking a significant milestone in our advancing gold-copper-molybdenum exploration program in Laos.
The successful rig mobilization and setup for the first drill hole reflect coordinated efforts between our geological team, community engagement specialists, and drilling contractors. This phase represents a key step in systematically evaluating the mineral potential of the target area through structured and data-driven exploration.
The current drilling campaign is designed to test high-priority geophysical and geochemical targets identified through previous fieldwork. Planned hole depths of approximately 300–350 metres will allow our team to:
Assess the vertical continuity of mineralization
Intersect interpreted structural corridors
Evaluate gold, copper, and molybdenum grade potential
Strengthen geological modeling for future resource definition
The use of angled drilling techniques is strategic. By drilling at specific orientations, we aim to intersect key mineralized structures more effectively, maximizing geological insight and improving the accuracy of subsurface interpretation.
This drilling program is part of Annamite Resources’ broader commitment to disciplined mineral exploration, combining technical rigor with responsible site management. Each metre drilled contributes valuable geological data that enhances our understanding of the Vangma Tenement’s potential.
Operational priorities throughout the campaign include:
Strict adherence to safety protocols
Environmental protection and minimal site disturbance
Ongoing engagement with local landowners and communities
Transparent communication with stakeholders
As drilling progresses at the Flank Prospect, Annamite Resources remains focused on building a strong technical foundation for future development opportunities. By integrating geological precision, environmental stewardship, and community partnership, we continue advancing our portfolio responsibly and strategically.
This program represents not just the start of drilling, but the next step in unlocking the long-term mineral potential of the Vangma Tenement.
