[{"type":"text","content":" Highlights Drilling is targeting three areas of high-grade copper mineralization on the Dobie Lake Copper Property. The Canamiska Zone, Number 2 Zone (Alpha Veins) and Number 1 Zone will be drilled in this round. Past work on the property and recent prospecting has identified copper mineralization up to 9% Copper (Cu) in these areas. The Dobie Lake Copper Property is 6500 acres in size and is in the Algoma District of the Huronian Belt of the Canadian Shield. The Algoma District was the site of the first Copper Mine in Canada and is host to multiple former mines and copper occurrences. Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 15, 2021) - Big Red Mining Corp. (CSE: RED) (the \"Company\" or \"Big Red\") is pleased to report that the diamond drilling program on the Dobie Lake Copper Property in Ontario has commenced. Big Red's drilling will be initially focused on three copper mineralized zones (Figure 1) - Canamiska Zone, the Number 2 Zone and the Number 1 Zone. The Canamiska Zone is a 3400 metre long EM and copper soil anomaly which was discovered and drilled in the mid-1960's. The zone trends northeasterly. Nine drill holes, historically drilled, in a restricted section of the EM anomaly in the northeasterly part of the anomaly averaged 0.42% Copper over 5.22 meters(m), including 1.82% Copper (\"Cu\") over 2.3 m, 0.532% Copper over 7.62 m, and 1.44% Copper over 6.0 m. There were also wide sections of lower-grade copper mineralization such as 25m of 0.11% Copper. Soil sampling along the Canamiska EM Zone returned results averaging more than 1,500 ppm Cu and ranging up to 6000 ppm Cu. No drilling was carried out in the area of soil values in excess of 6,000 ppm and the zone has not been fully explored. Big Red considers this a prime exploration target. The Number 2 Zone has been recently explored and a new series of veins (The Alpha Veins) have been uncovered. This system appears to be at least 1200 m long and trends east-west in contrast to the direction of the Canamiska Zone. The zone was well exposed by the prospectors and allowed the collection of 10 rock samples over approximately 200 metres. The samples from the zone average 0.4% Cu with a high of 1.03% Cu. The Number 1 Zone occurs in the northern part of the property and comprises an east west trending zone with exposures of very high-grade copper and values...
