## Drilling Results
Aldebaran Resources Inc. reports 1,728.9 meters of 0.45% copper equivalent from 2025-2026 drilling at Altar project in San Juan, Argentina.
## Key Mineral Grades
The results include 756 meters of 0.68% copper equivalent with 0.61% copper, 0.03 g/t gold, and 2.12 g/t silver at 965 meters depth.
## Additional Drill Holes
918.8 meters of 0.62% copper equivalent with 0.58% copper, 0.09 g/t gold, and 1.58 g/t silver reported from 59 meters depth.
## Geotechnical Focus
Several drill holes were designed exclusively for geotechnical studies in pit wall areas where mineralization was not expected.
## CEO Statement
John Black, CEO, stated that a mineralized interval exceeding 1.7 kilometers underscores the scale of the Altar system and supports updated resource estimates.

> A mineralized interval exceeding 1.7 kilometres in a single drill hole underscores the immense scale of the Altar system.
## Geological Officer Statement
Kevin B. Heather, Chief Geological Officer, noted the project's long continuous intervals of copper mineralization and exceeded expectations.

> The Altar project continues to amaze us with long continuous intervals of copper mineralization.
## Resource Update
The 2026 resource update will incorporate over 40,000 meters of drilling since late 2024 and 30,000 meters at Radio Porphyry target.
## Radio Porphyry Target
Radio Porphyry has never been included in a mineral resource estimate, making this an important milestone for the project.
## Pre-Feasibility Study
The Pre-Feasibility Study is scheduled for completion in 2027, positioning Aldebaran for future projects.
## Drilling Campaign
The 2025-2026 drilling campaign results have exceeded expectations and improved geological and geotechnical models.
## Key takeaway

Aldebaran Resources reports 1,728.9m of 0.45% CuEq at Altar project in San Juan, Argentina, including 756m of 0.68% CuEq for updated resource estimate.
