[{"type":"text","content":"CopAur Drills 20 Metres of 12.6 g/t Gold; Including 4.7 Metres of 29.4 g/t GoldVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 29, 2023) - CopAur Minerals Inc. (TSXV: CPAU) (OTCQB:COPAF) (\"CopAur\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce results for the first diamond drill hole completed during 2023, and the first hole drilled since 2020, at the Company's flagship Kinsley Mountain Gold Project (the \"Kinsley Mountain Project\" or \"Kinsley Mountain\") in Elko County, Nevada. The 2023 drilling follows up on the highly successful 49 hole, 18,000 metres 2020 Kinsley drill campaign.Kinsley Mountain is a unique property, located 90 km south of the Long Canyon Mine1, hosting eastern Great Basin Carlin-type high-grade sulphide Gold (Western Flank Zone) and near surface oxide gold resources (Main Pit North target). See figure 2 and 3.Diamond drill hole KMD23-01, located 550 metres northwest of the past-producing pits at Kinsley, returned 12.6 grams-per-tonne (g/t) gold (au) over 20.3 metres; including 29.4 g/t Au over 4.7 metres (Table 1 and Figure 1). Western Flank Zone (WFZ) resource infill drill hole KMD23-01, was designed to test below 2013 drill hole PK091CA that was the initial high-grade gold discovery hole at WFZ and terminated in mineralization at a depth of 292 metres. KMD23-01 successfully confirmed the high-grade gold mineralized intersect within this area of lower drill density transecting the complete section of the Secret Canyon Shale gold host.Table 1: Kinsley Mountain 2023 Drilling Significant InterceptsHole IDZoneFromToInterval (m)1Au (g/t)* CN Soluble AuRecovery (%)**(dip/azimuth)(m)(m)KMD23-01 (-76/085)Western Flank267.6287.920.312.55Sulphide including283.2287.94.729.43 * True widths of the mineralized intervals are interpreted to be between 60-90% of the reported lengths.**\"Sulphide\" defined as CN soluble gold recovery of <60%The 2023 Kinsley Mountain drill program comprises a series of seven (7) RC drill holes and three (3) diamond drill holes completed at the high-grade Western Flank Zone, Main Pit North oxide target, and Kinsley Ridge targets.
