(TSXV: CPAU) (OTCQB: COPAF) (\"CopAur\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that it has commenced diamond drilling at its Williams Copper-Gold Project located in the Toodoggone region of north-central British Columbia. Drilling is currently underway at the GIC copper-gold (±molybdenum) porphyry target located 3 km to the north of the T-Bill gold zone the Company tested with 7 holes totaling 3,150 metres during 2021. Jeremy Yaseniuk, CEO, commented, \"We are happy to announce we have commenced drilling on our 2022 Williams Copper-Gold Project. The drill program designed to test a series of new copper-gold (±molybdenum) geochemical anomalies that display characteristic and magnetic IP/resistivity geophysical signatures that we believe point to a potential buried porphyry system. Come see us at the Metals Group booth at the PDAC booth 2709.\"As recently announced, CopAur plans to complete up to 2,000 metres of diamond drilling testing priority drill targets at the GIC copper-gold (±molybdenum) porphyry target, a 4 km x 0.8 km copper-gold geochemical and IP/resistivity anomaly. The drilling targets distinct copper, copper-gold, and copper-gold-molybdenum surface geochemical anomalies that display magnetic, resistive, and moderate chargeability signatures with the potential to represent a buried porphyry system.Current drilling at GIC has encountered encouraging visual signs including broad zones of intense texturally destructive silicification (quartz-sericite-pyrite), and associated domanial potassic alteration, of felspar porphyry and intermediate volcanic rocks, including disseminated and fine fracture and vein-controlled pyrite, in addition to local chalcopyrite, and molybdenite (Image 1). This style of alteration is distinct from ubiquitous propylitic alteration of host volcanic rocks and is interpreted to suggest vectoring towards a potential porphyry source.
