CASCADE COPPER MOBILIZES DRILL FOR MAIDEN PROGRAM AT THE CENTREFIRE COPPER-GOLD PROJECT NEAR DRYDEN, NW ONTARIO
Cascade Copper Corp. has mobilized a drill crew for a maiden, minimum-600-metre diamond drilling program at its Centrefire copper-gold project, located 40 kilometres (km) from Dryden, Ont. The contractor is expected to be drilling the first hole within a week of mobilization. Drilling at Centrefire will focus on priority copper-gold volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) targets identified through inversion modelling of geophysics, historic drilling and sampling of surface mineralization. A recent
news release on May 11 discusses the priority drill targets.
"The arrival of the drill at Centrefire represents a landmark moment for Cascade Copper, marking the company's first drill program and the transition from project evaluation to discovery," stated Jeffrey Ackert, president and chief executive officer of Cascade Copper. "Our technical team has completed extensive groundwork and modelling to define priority targets, and we are eager to begin testing the Centrefire VMS system. This program is an important step in our strategy to advance high-quality copper projects in Canada and create long-term value for our shareholders. We look forward to reporting results as drilling advances."
The first drill hole will be set up adjacent to a forestry access road, which means the drill can be unloaded on the road and placed quickly and efficiently at the initial collar location. All holes planned in this campaign are within a few tens of metres of the forestry road network, which means little or no disturbance to the environment, easy access by the contractor and Cascade's technical team, and perhaps more importantly -- a low mobilization cost.
The technical information in this news release was prepared and approved by Shannon Baird, PGeo, a qualified person as defined in National Instrument 43-101. Mr. Baird is vice-president, exploration, of Cascade Copper, and registered as a professional geoscientist with the Professional Geoscientists of Ontario, as well as the Engineers and Geoscientists of British Columbia.
About Cascade Copper Corp.
Cascade Copper is an exploration stage natural resource company engaged in the evaluation, acquisition and exploration of copper-based mineral resource properties. Cascade is focused on copper and gold, porphyry and mesothermal gold deposits in British Columbia, and VMS and BIF copper, gold and silver style deposits in Ontario. Cascade's priority is to conduct exploration using modern technology that includes 3-D inversion modelling of geophysics, lidar (light detection and ranging) elevation models, and AI-enhanced (artificial intelligence) predictive modelling from all historic and modern data inputs. Drilling is planned on several of its copper-gold targets this year. Cascade has five projects, including the Copper Plateau copper-moly project, the Centrefire copper-gold project, the Rogers Creek copper-gold project, the Fire Mountain copper-gold project and the Bendor gold-tungsten project.
