LEOCOR MINING COMPLETES DRILL CAMPAIGN AT THE BAIE VERTE COPPER-GOLD PROJECT, NEWFOUNDLAND
Leocor Mining Inc.'s recent drill program at the Baie Verte project, a 2,002-hectare (ha) contiguous gold-copper exploration package located on the north-central coast of the island of Newfoundland, in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, has been completed.
Crews from Rally Drilling and Resourceful Geoscience Solutions demobilized from the project site on March 18
after completing 27 drill holes totalling 3,040.5 metres (m) at the base metal and gold prospects on the project, Copper Creek and Dorset, respectively.
Drilling at the Copper Creek claims comprised 21 diamond drill holes totalling 2,308.5 m. Eighteen of the 21 Copper Creek drill holes encountered mineralization interpreted to be chalcopyrite over various lengths and in various visually estimated abundances. Previously disclosed Copper Creek highlights included:
- 43.9 m to 46.2 m (2.3 m length) in hole 25-CC-014, containing a visually estimated modal abundance of banded chalcopyrite of 15 per cent with pyrite in visually estimated modal abundances of 10 per cent;
- 20 m to 33.4 m (13.4 m drilled length) in hole 25-CC-012, containing blebby chalcopyrite in a visually estimated modal abundance of 1 per cent;
-
133.6 m to 138 m (4.4 m drilled length) in hole 25-CC-007, containing blebby chalcopyrite in a visually estimated modal abundance of 3 per cent.
Holes 25-CC-015, 25-CC-017, 25-CC-019 and 25-CC-020 intersected intervals of semi-massive pyrite over drilled lengths between 0.2 m and 2.2 m.
The company awaits assay results from 1671 samples from Copper Creek drilling.
Drilling at the Dorset gold prospect comprised six holes totalling 732 m. Highlights of the Dorset drilling include intersecting a pyrite mineralized quartz vein with a drilled length of 1.1 m in hole 25-D.
che Company awaits assay results from 655 samples of drill core from the Dorset drill holes.
It is important to note that these are preliminary observations, and the true grade and thickness of the mineralization will only be determined once assay results are received. Samples of mineralized intervals are being prepared for geochemical analysis by SGS, a Standards Council of Canada-accredited (SCC) laboratory. As of March 21, 2025, the laboratory confirmed 205 samples from Copper Creek are currently being processed, with an estimated date of completion within the next four weeks.
