District Copper Corp. reported that it will be mobilizing field crews in the next few days for its Phase I 2024 summer field program at its Copper Keg project near Cache Creek, BC. The property covers approximately 6,628 ha, and is considered to be highly prospective for the discovery of porphyry style copper mineralization.

The property is located at the north end of the Guichon Creek batholith which hosts Teck's Highland Valley Copper operations. GroundTruth Exploration, of Dawson City YK has been contracted to conduct an extensive soil sampling program. It is anticipated that this will be followed by a Phase II program consisting of either ground or airborne geophysics.

Copper Keg property: The property exhibits the geochemical/alteration/lithologic features typical of the argillic altered potion of a porphyry copper system at/along the potassic/propylitic contact. The property is characterized by a large, pyrite bearing, argillic zone exposed along the surface trace of the Barnes Creek fault, a major NNW trending that crosses the Guichon Creek Batholith. The high grade copper veins noted above, reflect supergene enrichment of distal base metal veins typically associated with a porphyry copper system.
