[{"type":"text","content":"Decade Announces Copper Assays from Drilling on near Surface Shallow Copper-Silver Mineralization at the Nobody Knows Copper Project, Terrace BC. Intersect 8.08 M of 2.26% Copper. Plans 2024 Drill Program at the ProjectStewart, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 25, 2024) - Decade Resources Ltd (TSXV\" DEC) (\"Decade\") reports that it has received the assays from the recent drill program at the Nobody Knows No 1 and Nobody Knows No 2 zones at the Copper River project. The project is part of a large claim holding consisting of 52 contiguous minerals claims which include Nobody Knows, Dardanelle (presently farmed out) and Treasure Mountain properties totaling 23,016.7 hectares. All 52 mineral claims are 100% owned by Decade Resources Ltd. The project stretches from 10 to 40 air kilometers east of Terrace, B.C., on the northern slopes of the Copper River valley. Highlights of the program include:4410 m of drilling was completed in 33 drill holes.The discovery drill holes show similarities to many of the world's major sediment-hosted copper systems with the association of silver with copper.The dacitic and syenitic rocks hosting the copper mineralization present have been sheared with abundant ground up copper mineralization (bornite and chalcocite) in the fault gouge.7.19 % Cu equivalent (6.75 % Cu and 50.3 g/t Ag) intersected over 0.76 m in DDH-NB-23-1.6.73 % Cu equivalent (5.39 % Cu and 155 g/t Ag) intersected over 2.13 m in DDH-NB-23-2.3.23 % Cu equivalent (2.99 % Cu and 27.3 g/t Ag) intersected over 2.94 m in DDH-NB-23-12.2.18 % Cu equivalent (2.05 % Cu and 15 g/t Ag) intersected over 5.74 m in DDH-NB-23-16.The Company tested approximately 200 m of the zone. Drilling was restricted to the presently logged areas and the Company has applied for disturbance permits for forested areas along strike to the Nobody Knows # 2 zone. For the purposes of conducting a 2024 drill program at the Copper River project, the details are currently being planned and finalized. Mineralization is dominated by bornite, chalcocite and malachite with lesser covellite and chalcopyrite and little to no pyrite. These sulphides constitute from trace to 5% of the rock forming grains, small blebs and veinlets which show strong association with silicification and shearing. This type of mineralization does not contain any appreciable gold but is enric...
