Latest Copper Drill Results Fuel Optimism for Osisko Metals
Exciting New Developments from Osisko Metals
Osisko Metals Incorporated, a key player in the exploration and development of critical metals, has announced some thrilling drilling results from the Gaspé Copper Project. This project, known for its significant copper deposits, is located in Eastern Québec and has shown remarkable potential in recent months.
Drilling Highlights
Recent data reveal that drill hole 30-1075 has unearthed 258 meters averaging 0.33% copper and 2.95 g/t silver. This impressive result includes an exceptional segment of 15.6 meters that averages 1.47% copper and 8.5 g/t silver. Additionally, a second intercept below the 2024 Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) model showcased a depth extension featuring 96 meters averaging 0.54% copper and 3.34 g/t silver, reaching a remarkable vertical depth of 529 meters.
Further Drilling Successes
In a remarkable display of resource potential, drill hole 30-1076 within the same zone averaged 0.40% copper through a depth of 208.4 meters. Among its key segments, it recorded 12 meters averaging 1.91% copper and 9.6 g/t silver, extending mineralization to a vertical depth of 548 meters.
Further evaluations showed that drill hole 30-1070, located near the eastern limit of the deposit, found 160.5 meters averaging 0.16% copper and an outstanding section of 29.7 meters averaging 1.92% copper and 15.2 g/t silver, intersecting at the level of the E Zone skarn, at a vertical depth of 629 meters.
Current State of the Gaspé Copper Project
These recent advancements are vital for Osisko Metals as they aim to extend their resources at Gaspé. The current drill program focuses on converting resources defined in the November 2024 MRE into Measured and Indicated categories while testing deeper extensions of the mineralization system. The indications suggest that the resource remains open to the south and southwest, revealing potential for further exploration.
Geological Insights
The drilling conducted has primarily penetrated altered calcareous stratigraphy within an area that dips gently north. True widths of the mineralized intervals are estimated at around 90% to 92% of the reported widths. The significant mineralization at the site is attributed to disseminations and veinlets of chalcopyrite, primarily stratigraphically controlled, ensuring extensive exploration opportunities.
Osisko Metals: A Leader in the Mining Sector
With a commitment to responsible mining practices, Osisko Metals continues to stand out in the industry, especially after acquiring the Gaspé Copper mine from Glencore Canada Corporation. The mine is strategically positioned near existing infrastructure and is recognized as the largest undeveloped copper resource in eastern North America, boasting Indicated Mineral Resources of 824 million tonnes at 0.34% copper equivalent.
Furthermore, the company is working closely with Appian Capital Advisory LLP on the Pine Point project, which is one of Canada's largest past-producing zinc mining camps. As of the latest resource shows, it contains Indicated Mineral Resources of 49.5 million tonnes averaging 5.52% zinc equivalent.
