Kairos Gold Inc. (TSX-V: KIRO) announced the start 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 program, consisting of 10 planned holes totaling 3,100 metres, is designed 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, with results 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, which it says support its geological interpretation and the broader potential of Oro Brillante.
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, with updates and assay results to be provided as they become available.
