[{"type":"text","content":" TORONTO, Aug. 2, 2022 /CNW/ - Canadian Copper Inc. (\"Canadian Copper\" or the \"Company\") (CSE: CCI) is pleased to announce positive exploration results from its first seven (7) drill holes at its Chester Copper Project (\"Chester\") located in the Bathurst Mining Camp, New Brunswick, Canada. \"We are pleased with the results of this initial phase of drilling at Chester. Every drill hole encountered sulphide mineralization and five holes out of seven intersected the polymetallic mineralization. Canadian Copper continues to expand the historical resource, and the high-grade copper zone at depth warrants additional exploration.\" Simon Quick, CEO of Canadian Copper. Phase (1) Highlights: Hole C21-05: 10 meters of 1.4% copper and 1.8% zinc from 12.5 meters, confirming near-surface massive sulphides. Hole C21-06: 23.5 meters of 0.79% copper and 0.9% zinc from 5.5 meters, confirming near-surface massive sulphides. Hole C21-07: 0.75 meters of 3.55% copper, 0.95 meters of 1.4% copper, 0.65 meters of 1.05% copper, 1.00 meters of 0.87% copper, 1.00 meters of 0.72% copper from 386 meters, confirming several copper vein systems extensions to the Stringer Zone at depth and the deepest known mineralization at the project to date. The objectives of Phase 1 drilling were to: Test mineralized extensions at depth along strike of the Copper Stringer Zone. Test four (4) regional anomalies outside of the known deposit identified by previous prospecting activities. Exploration methods included geological mapping, trenching, and certain geophysics and geochemical anomalies. Confirm the near-surface massive sulphide (\"MS\") gossanous Central and East Zone continuity. Previous trenching samples returned surface values of +1.0 gpt Au from this zone. Each of the above stated objectives were met by these seven drill holes. The Copper Stringer Zone represents a wide mineralized copper system and extends laterally, at depth, and warrants additional exploration. Two (2) of four (4) regional drilling targets returned anomalous values for copper, silver, and zinc that warrant further exploration work. The MS targeted area supported grade and zone continuity and confirmed the presence of other metals primarily gold (C21-06: 0.39 g/t Au over 4.0m) and silver in the near-surface gossan zone.
