Exciting Drilling Results from the Gaspé Copper Project
Osisko Metals Incorporated is thrilled to share its latest drilling results from the Gaspé Copper Project. The company has been diligently carrying out its drilling program, and the newly released results are nothing short of impressive.
New Drilling Highlights
Results from recent drilling have uncovered significant mineralization, confirming the company's expectations. One remarkable finding comes from drill hole 30-1065, which intercepted 323.0 metres of mineralization averaging 0.43% Cu and 3.18 g/t Ag, highlighting a particularly rich section of 13.3 metres averaging 2.50% Cu and 17.8 g/t Ag located within the C Zone skarn horizon.
Additionally, drill hole 30-1061 showcases 172.5 metres averaging 0.18% Cu and 1.52 g/t Ag, alongside a secondary intercept of 215.5 metres averaging 0.31% Cu and 2.67 g/t Ag, pushing the vertical depth of mineralization down to 712 metres. This indicates that mineralization is still present well below the previously mapped areas.
Further Findings and Potential
In the south-central part of the drilling site, hole 30-1064 reported 164.7 metres averaging 0.26% Cu and 1.94 g/t Ag, extending mineralization to a depth of 618 metres. Moreover, hole 30-1067, positioned 215 metres south of the earlier mining model, recorded 136.8 metres averaging 0.32% Cu and 3.18 g/t Ag, reinforcing the notion that there is still potential for further expansion of the deposit to the south.
Robert Wares, the CEO of Osisko Metals, expressed his excitement regarding these findings. He indicated that the results validate their geological model while also identifying new mineralization beneath the established C Zone skarn horizon. As further drilling is slated for this month, there's optimism about uncovering even more mineralization deeper in the project.
Detailed Mineralization Insights
The Gaspé Copper Project presents intriguing features, such as the significant copper mineralization that has been identified through various drilling activities. Previous exploration results indicated the potential of this area, and the latest intersections only reaffirm its richness.
Deposit Growth and Future Outlook
The deposit exhibits open-ended mineralization to the south and southwest, with current drilling operations aimed at verifying these extensions. The commitment to developing understanding of this resource is pivotal, as Osisko Metals plans to transition portions of its mineral resource estimates into the Measured and Indicated categories, while also pursuing a deeper exploration strategy.
Overall, Osisko Metals is focusing on enriching its asset base and pushing forward with strategic exploration at Gaspé to consolidate its position within the Canadian copper landscape and beyond.
