Kairos Gold Inc. (TSX-V: KIRO) has commenced 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. The program, totaling 3,100 metres across 10 planned holes, is designed to further define and expand the known mineralized footprint through infill drilling and testing along the property's primary northwest-southeast structural corridor.
Drilling has started on hole OB-01-26, and results from the campaign are 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 within the drill area, which further support the 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. The scientific and technical information has been reviewed by Rodrigo Vasquez, P.Geo., a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101.
Kairos Gold is focused on advancing a portfolio of mineral exploration properties spanning 17,201 hectares across three projects in Chile, positioned within the prolific Chilean mega porphyry belt known for large-scale deposits of gold, silver, and copper. The commencement of this drilling program represents a key step in advancing the Oro Brillante project toward potential resource definition.
