American Eagle Gold Corp. announced that drilling has commenced at its NAK Copper-Gold Porphyry project northeast of Smithers, British Columbia. This program is fully funded by the strategic investment by Teck Resources as announced on May 8. Drilling will continue through October 2023 with a planned 7,000 metres to further delineate NAK's grade and size potential.

The primary objectives for this year's drill program will be to: Expand and define the orientation of the higher-grade dyke-hosted bornite mineralization. Expand the high-grade at-surface south gold zone. Drill test the highly prospective southern contact of the main Babine stock porphyry.

Follow up on 2022's drill program with east-west step-out drilling to delineate the true size of this potential deposit.
