[{"type":"text","content":"VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 17, 2021 /CNW/ - Capella Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: CMIL) (FRA: N7D2) (the \"Company\" or \"Capella\") is pleased to report that final results have now been received from the late-summer exploration program undertaken at the Company's 100%-owned Kjøli high-grade copper-zinc massive sulfide (\"VMS\") project in central Norway. The current exploration program included systematic soil sampling and a ground gravity survey and was designed to allow the Company to prioritize specific drill sites within the high-grade copper targets identified from the CARDS AI Data Mining analysis (see Company News Release dated May 10, 2021). Highlights Targeting for the Company's maiden core drill program at the Kjøli copper project has focused on the 20km-long corridor of prospective stratigraphy for the discovery of new VMS deposits. At least 8 high-priority targets (defined by coincident CARDS AI, gravity, and soil anomalies, plus known mineral occurrences) have been defined for drill testing (Figure 1). Initial permitting is expected to cover up to 5,000m of core drilling in 25 holes. The ground gravity survey covered an area of 68 square kilometres and was located along, and immediately adjacent to, the main Kjøli mineralized corridor. The gravity survey has successfully identified a series of buried high-density bodies (some of which are interpreted by the Company to represent VMS occurrences) in the vicinity of the former copper-zinc mining operations. A further 2,800 soil samples were collected from the Kjøli mineralized corridor and analyzed using Multi-Element Fine Fraction Analysis (\"MEFFA\") techniques. Discrete copper and zinc soil anomalies have been generated along the Kjøli mineralized corridor, with the largest soil anomalies being located in the Grønskard area. The cobalt (Co) content of the copper-zinc(-gold-silver) massive sulfide deposits at Kjøli will also be systematically evaluated going forward. Cobalt is a common secondary metal in VMS deposits of the broader Røros district, but has yet to be systematically analyzed for at Kjøli. Cobalt is a key green energy metal used in batteries / electric vehicles. Given the full relaxation of strict Covid-19 travel restrictions in Norway in late-September, which negatively impacted our early summer exploration activities, the ...
