Exciting Developments at Thira
Vizsla Copper Corp. (TSXV: VCU) has recently made remarkable strides in their exploration efforts at the Thira porphyry discovery. Located within the expansive Poplar Project, the company is eager to share the positive results of their latest drilling campaign. The results from five additional drill holes further solidify the potential of this promising mineralization.
Promising Mining Discoveries
Results from drill holes TH25-139, 140, 141, 142, and 143 have added to their first drilled hole, TH25-138. This significant sampling shows that the porphyry-related copper-molybdenum-silver-gold mineralization extends over 800 meters across an east-west section and remains open in all directions.
Key Highlights from the Drill Program
The recent drilling has shown near-surface, porphyry-related mineralization in every hole tested. Each hole measured greater than 400 meters, confirming the extensive reach within the analyzed section. Of these, hole TH25-142, located 400 meters east of TH25-138, revealed:
- 324.0 meters of 0.39% copper equivalent from 6.0 meters downhole, including
- 264.0 meters of 0.43% copper equivalent from 51.0 meters downhole.
This mineralization remains open towards the east, indicating further exploration possibilities.
Further Insights
Another interesting find was in hole TH25-140, which intersected:
- 429.0 meters of 0.28% copper equivalent from 6.0 meters downhole, including
- 93.1 meters of 0.39% copper equivalent from 187.9 meters downhole.
Moreover, hole TH25-143, drilled west from the TH25-138 collar, presented:
- 411.7 meters of 0.27% copper equivalent from 14.3 meters downhole.
The findings from all reported drill holes underline a vast expanse of copper-molybdenum-silver-gold mineralization, currently spanning at least 800 meters in width.
Upcoming Plans for Exploration
As results from the remaining four drill holes are awaited, Vizsla Copper aims to analyze all geological, geochemical, and structural data from the completed holes. The goal is to develop a comprehensive 3D model that will inform their next round of drilling.
Unlocking New Porphyry Targets
To further strengthen their exploration, Vizsla Copper is set to initiate additional activities covering the Thira alteration corridor. These efforts include over 1,500 soil samples and 35 kilometers of induced polarization surveying. The outcome will help identify new porphyry centers while building on results from previous surveys that showcased promising geochemical and geophysical anomalies.
The Broader Picture: Poplar Project
The Poplar project spans over 44,200 hectares, encapsulating a variety of geological formations deemed prospective for porphyry-related copper and gold deposits. The company’s strategic aspirations include securing 100% interest in the property by meeting specific expenditure commitments and cash payments through 2027.
