Fabled Copper Corp reported that from mid-June to early September this year the company has been successful in securing four adit entrances at the Neil property on its Muskwa copper project in British Columbia.
The explorer said this was a "major undertaking", which included transporting a 1-tonne mini-excavator and all wood and metal for building the adit closures by helicopter.
It was all done under budget and on time, the firm said.

" We at Fabled Copper Corp are continuing to work diligently to ensure effective stewardship of the lands by securing open adit entrances which could be a potential hazard not only to the guide and outfitter of the area but also wildlife," said Peter Hawley, CEO at Fabled.
"By taking this approach not only do we prevent a potential accident but also secure the historical adits in case access is required at a future time.
"As always Fabled Copper acknowledges that the Muskwa project occurred on lands and in watersheds of importance to Kaska, Fort Nelson First Nation, and Treaty 8 Nations. We are honoured to share responsibility for the stewardship of these places."
The first of the four adits worked on was the Davis Keays Eagle Vein 6400 level, followed by the Eagle Vein 5950 level, then the 5800 level of the Harris vein and finally, the Magnum 5200 level.
The Muskwa project comprises the Neil property, the Toro property, and the Bronson property.
Fabled Copper is a junior explorer focused on advancing its existing copper properties in northern British Columbia.
The Muskwa project comprises a total of 76 claims in two non-contiguous blocks and totals around 8,064.9 hectares, located in the Liard Mining Division in northern British Columbia.
