Majuba Hill Copper Corp (CSE:JUBA) said it has completed new geologic mapping at the Majuba Hill Porphyry Copper Deposit in Pershing County, Nevada.
The company said copper mineralization remains open in all directions, with recent geologic mapping to the west and southwest of Conceptual Pits 13, 42, and 56 successful in delineating these prominent northeast and northwest-trending zones.
Three holes have been drilled to the west and southwest of the conceptual pits with MHB-17 intersecting a very long interval of low/intermediate oxide copper with 244 meters at 0.055% Cu from 0-244 meters, which included 6.1 meters @ 0.16 % Cu from 38.1 to 44.2 meters, 15.2 meters at 0.17% Cu from 100.6 to 115.8 meters and 7.6 meters at 0.16% Cu from 178.3 to 185.9 meters.
“Planned drill holes are situated to improve the grade of the copper mineralization by tightening up the drill spacing adjacent to the favorable geology. Holes PDH-j, PDH-k, and PDH-l will target the intermediate and low-grade copper zones shown on Section 900 below,” the company added.
Exploration Plans
In 2023, the company said it will focus on drilling up to 4,900 meters with the primary object to convert the mineralization from an exploration target category into the inferred and indicated resource categories.
The company said its geologists have determined locations for 15 to 20 core and reverse circulation holes for several reasons including to tighten up drill spacing to convert waste blocks to mineralized blocks and to extend high-grade mineralization.
