First phase reconnaissance exploration efforts on the Property have identified four key areas of interest with other new targets recently identified. The results of the 2022 exploration work can be found in Press Releases dated
- Blue Cove - Significant outcrop showing with high grade copper up to 3.56% Cu assayed. Copper sulphides occurs as chalcocite, bornite and chalcopyrite, Notable silver and zinc assays are also present.
- Hilltop– Newly identified multi-element soil geochemical anomaly with coincident magnetic low feature and where historical drilling has intersected individual intersections within a 5 foot interval assaying up to 0.49% Cu, 2.0% Pb and 1.9% Zn.
Yellow Cove – Large alteration zone with multi-element soil geochemical anomalies.- RylesBarisway– Known copper minerlization in outcrop with surface samples grading 3.0% Cu. A recent soil geochemistry survey requires further delineation of anomalous samples on the west side of the recon grid area.
Moving forward, the Company plans on continued prospecting of the known target areas as well as follow-up on nearly identified prospective areas and overall prospecting of the Property in general including key geological structures of interest. Additional work expanding areas of soil geochemical sampling and continued ground geophysical techniques including magnetometer and induced polarization/resistivity surveying will also be undertaken. Should exploration results warrant, a drill program would likely be the next step to advance the project. A decision on drilling will be made once all data is carefully evaluated.
The Company also announces that it has issued an aggregate of 6,000,000 restricted share units (each, an “RSU”) to certain directors, officers and consultants of the Company pursuant to the Restricted Share Unit Plan of the Company, all such RSUs vesting immediately. The RSUs and any common shares issuable upon conversion thereof will be subject to a four month hold period in accordance with the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange.
