(TSXV: CPER) (OTCQB: CPCPF) (\"CopperCorp\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to report assay results from its maiden scout drilling program at the Dora prospect located in the Skyline Project, western Tasmania, Australia.SummaryResults received for the Company's maiden drill program designed as a scout concept test of the 5km-long outcropping mineralization system at the Dora prospect1,2. The scout program is the first drilling to target the under-explored trend and was co-funded by the Tasmanian government under their Exploration Drilling Grant Incentive (EDGI) scheme.Two diamond core holes (D3-001 and D2-002) totalling 788.7m drilled on the Dora 3 target testing outcropping Cu-Au anomalies. The target concept was confirmed with both holes intersecting broad zones of anomalous IOCG-style copper mineralization. Best intercepts include: 29.0m @ 0.18 % Cu from 248m, including 4.0m @ 0.46% Cu and 0.12g/t Au and 31.4g/t Ag from 249m (D3-001).34.0m @ 0.12% Cu from 212m (D3-002).Copper mineralization comprising disseminated, breccia, and vein style chalcopyrite in moderate to strongly magnetite-chlorite to potassic (k-feldspar) altered host rocks. The intensity of alteration and mineralization and generally low tenure of copper grades possibly indicates that the holes intersected the lower-grade, less intense parts of a larger IOCG system. The results are highly encouraging and emphasize the exploration potential at the Dora prospect and greater Skyline project area and further exploration work is being planned to expand the Company's understanding of the potential of this system.Stephen Swatton, President and CEO of CopperCorp, commented: \"This limited drill program at the Dora has confirmed the presence of IOCG style mineralization at the Dora prospect. On a district scale, the larger IOCG system is interpreted to extend over a strike length of some 95km - over which the Company holds a dominant land position including the newly acquired and highly prospective Razorback Project3. The IOCG system has genetic connections with the world class Mount Lyell copper deposit (see figure 2). Further drilling at Dora had to be postponed due to challenging and atypical weather co...
