[{"type":"text","content":"July 31, 2024, VANCOUVER, British Columbia – TheNewswire – Interra Copper Corp. (CSE: IMCX; OTCQB: IMIMF; FRA: 3MX) (“Interra” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the results of its recently completed geophysical surveys at the Rip Copper Project (the “Project” or “Rip”) in the Stikine region of British Columbia. The Rip Project is situated approximately 33 km northeast of Imperial Metals’ past producing Huckleberry copper-molybdenum (“Cu-Mo”) mine and Surge Copper’s advanced stage Ox/Seal/Berg projects. Imperial Metals Corporation is exploring Huckleberry and its surrounding claims for additional Cu-Mo resources. Recently completed geophysical surveys at Rip, airborne magnetics and 3D IP, carried out by Precision Geosurveys and Dias Geophysical, respectively, suggest potential for two porphyry Cu-Mo mineralized centres (Fig. 1). The northernmost centre coincides with outcropping porphyry Cu-Mo mineralization, and comprises a coincident magnetic/resistivity high, surrounded by a large “doughnut” shaped chargeability high (> 35 mV/V) with a diameter of approximately 1 km. A second potential porphyry Cu-Mo centre is situated approximately 1.1 km to the south, comprising a similar magnetic high surrounded by a “doughnut” shaped chargeability high (> 35 mV/V). This southern potential porphyry center is entirely covered by overburden with a diameter of approximately 850 meters. CEO Brian Thurston commented, “With this new geophysical data, we have resolved two classic porphyry copper-gold deposit style bullseye targets. In well-established porphyry districts like this one, it is unusual to have untested classic porphyry targets but at Rip one of the targets is entirely untested by diamond drilling, and the other target was only tested with a single diamond drill hole, which was aimed away from the centre of the bullseye, but nevertheless hit encouraging mineralization. In light of this new data, we feel enthused by the untested potential of this property and are excited to embark on a thoroughly justified drill campaign.” The Rip project is interpreted as a highly underexplored porphyry Cu-Mo system that is predominantly covered by overburden. A small outcrop area within the northern interpreted porphyry Cu-Mo mineralized centre contains variably altered porphyritic intrusions which cut strongly hornfelse...
