Highlights:

  • High grade copper was intersected in Drill hole DL-21-01 - 1.8% Cu over 6.8m, including 3.97% Cu over 1.8m and 2.05% Cu over 3.8m.
  • Copper mineralization was encountered in all nine drill holes.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 6, 2022) - Big Red Mining Corp. (CSE: RED) (FSE: K8J) (the "Company" or "Big Red") is pleased to announce the final results from the 2021 drilling program on the Dobie Lake Copper Property in Ontario. The drilling totalled 1222.8 meters in 9 holes with 758.8 meters (m) on the Canamiska Zone and 465 meters on the Alpha Vein of the No. 2 Zone.

Copper mineralization comprising chalcopyrite and chalcocite which returned assays greater than 0.05% Copper (Cu) was encountered in all nine drill holes.

High grade copper was intersected in Drill hole DL-21-01 - 1.8%Cu over 6.8m including 3.97% Cu over 1.8m and 2.05% Cu over 3.8m and drill hole DL-21-03 (0.48% Cu over 1.3m) while the remaining intersections ranged from 0.15% to 0.3% Cu.

The intersections were mostly shallow with the deepest in drill hole DL-21-06 at 76 meters and drill hole DL-21-05 at 130 meters depth.
 

Further work is planned for 2022 to follow-up on these results and to continue testing the known copper mineralized areas of the expanded Dobie Lake Copper Property including the newly acquired, high grade SE Trench area (samples up to 13% Cu) and the No.1 Zone (samples up to 6.98% Cu over 4 meters).

Jag Sandhu, CEO of Big Red stated, "We are very pleased that we intersected copper mineralization in every hole of the present drilling program and are especially pleased with the intersections in drill holes Dl-21-01 and Dl-21-03.
