[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 26, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Interra Copper Corp. (CSE: IMCX) (OTCQB: IMIMF) (FRA: 3MX) (“Interra” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce completion of further ground geophysical and geochemical work at its 206 square kilometer Thane Property in North Central British Columbia. Interra has conducted further geophysical and geochemical work supporting our thesis of a nearby copper porphyry system, with the geology demonstrating further relevant signatures and supporting mineralogy. Geological and core samples have now all been fully submitted to ALS, and we have begun to receive results from our summer program. Grid establishment and soil sampling were completed at the Gail Zone. Four lines were established covering an historical copper/moly-in-soil anomaly identified in 1974 by Noranda Mining and Exploration Company, Limited (“Noranda”). This anomaly has historical soil samples of up to 2,100 ppm Cu and is on strike with the nearby Gail Showing (See Figures 1 and 2, below). The following summary of historical results is taken from Dirom, Gavin, P.Eng, 1974, AR04599 Noranda. This report can be accessed through the following link: Click Here The Gail Lake grid is 1400 feet (430m) long and 200 to 800 feet (60 - 240m) wide in an area of limited soil development. Soil samples comprise a total of 44 collected at 100 foot intervals averaged 733 ppm Cu, with a maximum of 2100 ppm. The samples also averaged 50 ppm Mo (up to 75 ppm) in the southern half of the grid where the highest Cu values were collected. Composites of rock (talus) chips were also collected along contours above the elevation of the soil grid. Each sample represented a 60 m long transverse along the contour talus and comprised approximately 200 chips, each chip taken about 1 ft (0.3m) apart. Cu values averaged 520 ppm and up to a maximum of 710 ppm indicating anomalous values over the bulk of the area. Mo values were not reported. Coarse-grained monzo-diorite is the main lithology with varying feldspar/mafic ratios and heterogeneous textures. Fine-grained granitic or syenitic lithologies are present as small dykes. Epidote is common in all rock types both as fine stringers or irregularly concentrated clots indicating broad propylitic alteration. Intense potassic alteration is indicated by salmon...
