Coppernico Metals plans to commence drilling at its Furaso project, targeting an area with over 200 meters of 0.5% copper on surface. CEO Ivan Bebek indicated that this program will not only expand the known deposit but also provide crucial data to understand neighboring targets covered by volcanic ash, aiding in the interpretation of geophysical signatures. The goal is to add considerable tonnage and increase confidence in other prospective areas.
“Ultimately, we're going to start drilling at our Furaso project, which has not only over 200 meters of half a percent copper on surface, but it has numerous holes that were drilled by a company looking for iron ore previously, which have all hit the 0.5 to 0.9% copper over tens of meters beneath that trench of 230 meters of half a percent copper.”
“As we drill this area called Furaso, this will help us fingerprint all those electrical and, and, um, magnetic signatures we put into the earth to see which shape or which way the actual deposit could be veering from there.”
“It not only will add considerable tonnage to what we believe is there, but it will give us a lot more probability on the rest of the targets that we have going forward.”
