[{"type":"text","content":"CopAur Minerals Drilling Third Strategic Hole and Mobilizing Second Drill at Kinsley Mountain Gold ProjectVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 13, 2023) - CopAur Minerals Inc. (TSXV: CPAU) (OTCQX: COPAF) (\"CopAur\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that it has completed the first two core holes for a total of 607 metres of infill drilling (KMR23-01, and KMR23-02) targeting the high-grade Western Flank Zone (WFZ). Drilling is now underway on the third planned core hole KMR23-03 at the Kinsley Ridge IP geophysical target discovered in 2021, (Figure 1) The Kinsley Ridge IP target is designed to target an undrilled area between WFZ mineral resource and the past producing Ridge Pit.Core cutting and sampling of the first WFZ core hole is now complete, and samples will be shipped to ALS Global in North Vancouver, Canada for gold fire assays and multi-element analysis in the coming days. The second drill rig is now turning, with the commencement of reverse circulation (RC) drilling, as part of the 3,500 metre (m) combined reverse circulation (RC) and diamond core drilling program at the Company's flagship Kinsley Mountain Gold Project (the \"Kinsley Mountain Project\" or \"Kinsley Mountain\") in Elko County, Nevada.Near surface oxide-gold resource expansion RC drilling has now commenced at the Main Pit North target (8 holes for a total of 1,200 metres planned) designed to further delineate the companies 2020 shallow oxide gold intercept of 9.83 g/t gold over 7.6 metres in KMR20-030 (Figure 1, and Image 1). High-grade oxide gold mineralization at Main Pit North occurs within 120 metre depth from surface and 75 metres outside the current resource pit shell representing a unique resource expansion opportunity given the high-grade and shallow depth of the mineralization being targeted. Following completion of RC drilling at Main Pit North the drill will move to the Secret Spot target where drilling designed to further delineate new 2020 surface oxide gold discovery that yielded 1.77 g/t gold over 25.3 metres in KMD20-007B in the centre of a broader 400 x 300 metre northwest trending gold in soil anomaly1. New geological mapping completed this month indicates more extensive Dunderberg Shale, a well demonstrated Kinsley Mountain gold host, than previously recognized, and association of drilled gold mine...
