Several drill holes returned wide copper-mineralized intervals, highlighted by one intersection of 93 metres at 0.45% copper-equivalent starting at 6 metres downhole. Another returned 100 metres at 0.42% copper-equivalent starting at 60 metres downhole.
“We are pleased to see the continued style of broad mineralization within the Saddle zone, as this area is important for increasing tonnage but also optimizing the open pit geometry. Our thesis is that significant mineralization inside the conceptual pit was not captured by the initial mineral resource estimate published last fall,” Charles Beaudry, director and VP of exploration for QC Copper, said.
“Our recent drilling confirms that there is excellent expansion potential by drilling the areas currently counted as waste and converting these into the resource category. This current drilling is also being complemented by additional data compilation from surface and underground…
