Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - February 28, 2023) - Canadian Copper Inc. (CSE: CCI) ("Canadian Copper" or the "Company") is pleased to report results from its November and December 2022 trenching program at the Chester Project ("Chester") located in the well-known Bathurst Mining Camp ("BMC") in Northern New Brunswick, Canada.
"This initial +4000 meter ("m") trenching program was designed to broadly test geophysical anomalies at the property-scale, that exist within the favourable Clearwater horizon, which is the host to the Chester Deposit. Trench T22-01 is more than 5km northwest from the known Chester copper resource and has outlined a large anomalous base metals sulphides (Cu, Pb, Zn) at surface measuring 100m by 30m. The mineralization is present as stringers and disseminated pyrite, pyrrhotite, sphalerite and chalcopyrite within an altered mafic volcanic unit. Recent results obtained are 0.75% Zn, 0.46% Cu and 0.59% Cu (Figure A).
These results are encouraging, indicating there may be more mineralized systems on the property. This initial program will help us develop our next phase of trenching to further refine this target in the spring. Our systematic exploration strategy of trenching and rock sampling first ensures a cost-effective use of our drilling capital," stated Simon Quick, CEO of Canadian Copper.
