QC Copper and Gold Inc. (TSX-V:QCCU, OTCQB:QCCUF) has reported additional assay results from its current drill program on the Opemiska Copper-Gold Property in Quebec.
“This drill program has confirmed the existence of at least two additional mineralized east-west structures in the Gap area between the Springer Zone's Vein #2 and Vein #3,” vice president of exploration, Charles Beaudry said in a statement.
Specifically, the company reported holes with 0.31% copper equivalent over 81 meters (m) (from 15m to 96m) and 0.37% copper equivalent over 43.5m (from 165m to 208.5m) in the Gap area.

“Additionally, it has defined the extension at depth of two NW-SE mineralized structures in the Saddle Zone between Springer and Perry,” Beaudry said. “Drilling in the Saddle Zone has outlined continuous mineralization to a minimum vertical depth of 220m where it remains open at depth. In contrast, the extension at depth of the mineralization within the Saddle Zone itself will deepen the Springer and Perry pits compared to the 2021 MRE.”
In the Saddle Zone, the company reported holes with 0.80% copper equivalent over 12m (from 97.5m to 109.5m) and another with 2.62% copper equivalent over 6m (from 88.5m to 94.5m).
The current drill program is designed to expand the in-pit current NI 43-101 compliant 81.7M tonnes at 0.88% copper equivalent of measured and indicated mineral resources and 21.4M tonnes at 0.73% copper equivalent of inferred mineral resources (2021 MRE). As of June 26, a total of 30,454.5m of drilling in 114 holes have been completed on the property since the publication of the 2021 MRE, the company said.
