Adelphi Metals Inc. (CSE:ADP), the mineral exploration company, has identified copper at eight separate locations during summer fieldwork at its Brady project in Ontario.
Geological crews observed iron-rich rocks and copper-bearing minerals across several target areas, supporting the company's interpretation of a single interconnected mineral system.
Field teams submitted 215 rock samples from four main targets for analysis of gold, copper, platinum, and palladium, with laboratory assay results currently pending.
Geologists located chalcopyrite, a major copper mineral, within historical trenches, sulfide boulders, and altered granite contacts across a corridor up to 2.4 kilometers long.
Crews also recorded iron formation zones up to four meters wide alongside iron sulfide gossans, which are oxidized, rust-colored rock zones exposed at the surface.
The exploration team identified extensive units of albite-rich rock, which could represent sodic alteration, a key chemical characteristic of iron oxide copper-gold (IOCG) systems.
Mineralized surface exposures on the property range from 100 meters across to broad exploration corridors with established road access.
Adelphi Metals is now preparing a ground gravity survey at the North River target along the Wanapitei Fault to search for dense, mineralized bodies at depth.
The company will follow the gravity survey with an airborne electromagnetic survey over the Marble Mountain target to identify buried sulfide minerals.
It noted that these initial findings represent visual field observations that require confirmation through formal laboratory assays.
