“We have previously reported our findings on the Lady Luck occurrence followed by the Mac; the 8A, Harris, the 2a and 2b copper occurrences. We now turn our attention to now the Creek copper occurrence," the company said in a statement.
The Creek showing is located approximately 250 meters from the Harris vein audit and can be followed on the surface along a creek drainage system. The wall rocks are a gray siltstone in the hanging wall, and a black shale on the footwall side of the veining. Occasional thin seams of graphite at the contact with the veining, and shale can be seen, the company added

Overall, 7% chalcopyrite was seen. This chip sample over 0.10 meters returned 4.34% copper.
- Chip sample D – 723220 taken downhill at 1,903 meters vertically consisted of quartz, with patches of carbonate and minor patches of limonite, in parts rod like to plattey texture with abundant malachite copper alteration.
