American Copper Development Corporation announced that it has completed its maiden drilling campaign at its 100% owned Lordburg Project, New Mexico. A total of 6 drill holes were completed for a total of 4,662m. Final analytical results are pending and expected to be completed within the next 3-4 weeks.

The Company has also completed a claim staking program and has expanded its land-position to the east of the existing Lordburg claims. During the months of June and July, 235 Bureau of Land Management (BLM) unpatented lode mining claims were staked along the eastern boundary of the Lordburg Property totaling approximately 1,902 hectares. In addition, the Company entered a mining lease with an option to purchase with Comstock Allied, LLC for three patent mining claims located in the center of the Lordburg Property. This brings the new total land package to 1,205 contiguous Federal patented and unpatented lode mining claim, covering 9,462 hectares in area controlled by the Company.

The Lordburg project is strategically located in a porphyry-rich copper region of southwest New Mexico at the intersection of the NE trending Santa Rita Lineament and the NW trending Texas Lineament. Significant historical production from the district includes 3-4M tonnes from polymetallic veins with average hypogene grades of 2-3% Cu, 2-3 opt Ag, and 0.11 opt Au. Increasing copper grades are found at depth on the Lordburg property with historically drilled intercepts from underground of +4% copper.

Detailed geophysical and geochemical surveys suggest the potential for multiple porphyry centers on the property.
