Antares Metals (ASX:AM5) completed its maiden 780-metre reverse circulation drilling programme at the Conglomerate Creek prospect in Queensland.
This sub-surface exploration programme tested beneath high-grade copper-gold-silver mineralisation mapped by the company during 2025.
Drilling successfully intersected the targeted quartz vein system beneath surface rock chip samples, returning up to 21.3% copper.
Laboratory assays for copper, gold, and silver from all six drill holes are expected within the coming weeks.
Following the announcement, the Antares Metals share price was unchanged at $0.006.
The Conglomerate Creek prospect sits within the company's 100%-owned Mount Isa North landholding near Glencore's Mount Isa operations.
The company stated that a follow-up drilling programme is currently being finalised for the Conglomerate Creek Target 5 area.
