Fabled Copper Corp has announced the eighth set of results of 2021 surface fieldwork on its Muskwa Copper Project comprised of the Neil Property (previously referred to as the North Block) and the Toro Property (previously referred to as the South Block) in Northwestern British Columbia.
The company noted that it has previously reported findings on the Lady Luck occurrence in the south end of the Neil Property, followed by the Mac; the 8A, Harris, the 2a and 2b, the Creek and now the Keays south copper occurrence.
The Keays south showing is located approximately 500 meters southwest from the Keays north underground development and is thought to be the same mineralized vein system.
The high-grade mineralized Keays south vein averages 1 meter in width where observed with numerous large angular sluff float vein fragments.

A total of six samples - two grabs, one chip and three floats - were taken over a range in vertical elevation of 106 meters.
The sample highlights included:
- Grab sample D - 723231 taken at the 1,827 meter elevation consisted of quartz carbonate veining with minor graphitic fragments, abundant malachite alteration, with 8% chalcopyrite as semi-massive patches and disseminations, with a trace of bornite. This sample assayed 8.05% copper
- Chip sample D - 723234 taken at the 1,742 meter elevation consisted of white quartz carbonate and iron carbonate veining, black to dark brown on the weathered surface, and mottled yellow to brassy yellow with minor green alteration. There was minor malachite and also shale fragments, with 20% chalcopyrite, trace bornite and azurite. This sample returned 16.15% copper.
- Chip sample D - 723236 taken at the lowest elevation 1,719 meters consisted of semi-massive chalcopyrite and quartz, rusty black to dark brown on the weathered surface and brassy yellow on a fresh surface, with a weak banded texture, minor malachite copper alteration, 95% chalcopyrite, trace bornite, hand sample collected for reference. This sample returned 28.30% copper.
The company said that the Keays south veining, due to its high-grade nature which continues over 500 meters northeast to the Keays north development, certainly warrants additional sampling, and noted that it will perhaps be investigated as a priority drill target for the summer of 2022.
