Fabled Copper Corp has announced additional results from its 2021 surface fieldwork on the Muskwa Copper Project, which is comprised of the Neil Property, the Toro Property and the Bronson Property located in northern British Columbia.
In a statement, Peter Hawley, Fabled Copper president, CEO said: "The Bronson property comprises 4 mineral tenures covering approximately 2,524.6 hectares and to date, we have reported on the Book 6 UAV drone mission, surface sampling, geophysical survey, structural survey and ASTER compilation. In addition, we have reported on the Book 9 and 10 which may be the southern extent of the Book 6, the sampling on the 428 central , the 428 South, the PJ 100 and PJ 105 copper occurrences and now the last occurrence worked on the Bronson copper occurrence during the 2021 field season."
The area containing the Bronson occurrence was prospected on July 19 and August 3, 2021, and while overflying the occurrence an old adit and three veins, to the north-northeast, were observed along a near vertical trending cliff face. The adit was probably excavated to provide platforms for underground drill stations.

On August 3, 2021, in the valley located north and downslope of the ridge hosting the adit, Fabled Copper said four examples of quartz-carbonate float were collected. Sample D-723404 was taken from a large piece of float (1 meter by 0.5 meters) that was located 500 meters north-northwest of the adit at an elevation of 1837 meters. This sample was mineralized with 6% chalcopyrite and 1% bornite and had a copper content of 8.17%.
The company noted that three samples, D-723411-413, collected in the east end of the valley, upslope from sample D-723404 at elevations of 1,886-1,946 meters, contained a pyrite concentration of trace to 10% and trace copper - less than 0.108%.
The broad, east-northeast valley, south of the adit and veining, was prospected on July 19 and August 3, 2021, and on a cliff face the position of an old drill pad was observed at an elevation of 2,247 meters, it said. A highly mineralized (25-35% chalcopyrite, 1% bornite & Co bloom) float sample D-723398 was collected, assaying 23.1% copper and 36.5 grams per ton (g/t) silver.
In a north-northeast trending valley off of the property, 150 meters south of the southwest corner an old campsite was visited on August 3, 2021, where remnants of the old camp still remain and a small amount of old drill core was found at an elevation of 1,735 meters, Fabled Copper added.
All samples taken were photographic and a GPS location was taken, plus a metal sample tag left in place for future reference if required. All this data plus the assay results were geotagged and placed in a .kml /.kmz file for use such as google earth for easy reference, the company said.
Fabled Copper is a junior mining exploration company. Its current focus is to create value for stakeholders through the exploration and development of its existing copper properties located in northern British Columbia. The Muskwa Project comprises a total of 76 claims in two non-contiguous blocks and totals approximately 8,064.9 hectares, located in the Liard Mining Division in northern British Columbia.
