02:49 PM EDT, 03/25/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Aftermath Silver ( AAGFF ) was up near 10% on last look after earlier Wednesday providing the first batch of assay results from the Phase 3 diamond drill program at its 100% owned Berenguela silver-copper-manganese deposit located in the Department of Puno in southern Peru.

Results are included for 17 holes totalling 1,061.6m from the initial 45-hole (3,000m) program of diamond core drilling which the company opted to increase to 90 holes totalling 6,000m due to positive geological results, drill rig availability, and ease of access for the smaller diamond drill rig.

Among the highlights, hole AFD152 returned 48.5 metres @ 438 g/t Ag + 2.22% Cu + 24.9% Mn from 26.5m downhole.

"Our third phase of drilling was planned with the Berenguela pre-feasibility study in mind. We are infilling and delineating near-surface, high-grade silver-copper mineralization in the western part of the mineral resource where future open pit mining may begin. These are some of the best drill intercepts we've seen to date in our 3 phases of drilling and we are particularly pleased with the strong copper association that accompanies our silver," said chief executive Ralph Rushton.

Aftermath Silver ( AAGFF ) shares were last seen up $0.07, to $0.79, on the TSX Venture Exchange.
