AusQuest Limited ( (AU:AQD) ) has shared an announcement.

AusQuest has secured drill permits for its Playa Kali and Lantana copper-gold projects in Peru, both located within 15–30km of its Cangallo Porphyry Copper discovery. The projects target IOCG-style manto mineralisation at Playa Kali and a large-scale porphyry copper system at Lantana, each supported by encouraging rock-chip sampling and ground magnetic anomalies.

The company will conduct two maiden reverse circulation drilling programs totaling over 8,000m, scheduled to start in the second quarter of 2026 and expected to run for about eight weeks. Success at these high-priority targets could materially enhance the resource potential of AusQuest’s regional landholding and bolster its growth prospects in a key copper-gold district where drilling at Cangallo is already progressing to extend known mineralisation.
