Metallis Resources (MTS.V) has started a diamond drilling program at its Greyhound property in central Idaho, the company said Thursday.
Rufus Zone is the initial focus of the 2026 drill program and the first drill hole of the season, GH26-12, is targeting the 1350 Zone adjacent to the Lower Rufus Adit, said the company. Drilling at the 1350 Zone is expected to provide information to guide subsequent drilling throughout the Rufus zone, it said.
After drilling at the 1350 Zone, the company plans to test the 1100, 1000 and 500 Zones, targeting interpreted high-grade shoots, added Metallis.
"Rather than simply testing mineralization, we are now drilling specific structural positions where we believe higher-grade shoots may develop," said vice president of exploration Dave Nuttall. "Beginning at the 1350 Zone allows us to test our updated geological model while collecting critical information that will guide the remainder of the program."
The company's shares last traded July 15, closing at C$0.13 on the TSX Venture Exchange.
