If drilling successfully intersects copper-rich massive sulphides, the Company could substantially extend the Great Burnt Copper Deposit (\"GBCD\") strike length from its current 850 m to 1,050 m. The Company is planning immediate follow up drilling in the coming weeks to test the new anomaly. In the past 12 months, the Company has conducted extensive exploration extending and upgrading the GBCD with excellent drill results stated below:Highlighted drilling from 2023-2024 programs:GB-23-02: 13.00 m of 8.31% Cu, incl 3.00 m of 12.80% CuGB-23-04: 26.87 m of 7.18% Cu, incl 11.16 m of 10.28% CuGB-23-07: 12.30 m of 7.20% intersecting copper rich massive sulfide this will Cu, incl 7.00 m 10.60% CuGB-23-12: 25.42 m of 5.51% Cu, incl 1.00 m of 8.77% Cu, 82.00g/t Ag, 4.43g/t AuGB-23-15: 22.59 m of 5.03% Cu, incl 0.50 m of 20.00% CuGB-23-16: 13.67 m of 5.80% Cu, incl 1.00 m of 20.60% CuGB-23-18: 8.17 m of 4.22% Cu, incl 7.05 m of 4.11% Cu GB-23-21: 24.00 m of 5.81% Cu, incl 7.00 m of 11.47% Cu GB-23-22: 21.68 m of 3.59% Cu, incl 2.00 m of 15.3% CuGB-24-23: 7.00 m of 2.02% Cu, incl 4.00 m of 3.01% CuGB-24-32: 1...
