Kairos Gold Inc. (TSX-V: KIRO) announced the commencement of its Phase Three diamond drill program at the Oro Brillante concession, part of the company's 100%-owned Las Garillas Project in the Coquimbo Region of Chile. Drilling has started on hole OB-01-26, the first of 10 planned holes totaling 3,100 metres. The program 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.
During site preparation and pad construction, the company encountered multiple zones of alteration and strong oxidation within the drill area. These observations further support Kairos Gold's geological interpretation and the broader potential of the Oro Brillante project. Visible gold at surface has also been noted, reinforcing confidence in the project's prospects.
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 run over the next 12 weeks, with updates and assay results to be released as they become available. Results from the campaign are expected to provide important data to support a future mineral resource estimate.
