[{"type":"text","content":"Decade Confirms Discovery on the Nobody Knows Copper Project and Updates Surface Exploration at Treasure Mountain, Terrace BCStewart, BC--(Newsfile Corp. - October 19, 2023) - Decade Resources Ltd (TSXV: DEC) (\"Decade\") reports that it has continued to core significant copper sulphide mineralization intercepts from the recently discovered Nobody Knows No 2 zone at the Copper River project. The project is part of a large claim holding consisting of 48 contiguous minerals claims which include Nobody Knows, Dardanelle (presently farmed out) and Treasure Mountain properties totaling 17,470 hectares. All 48 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:Nobody Knows:Diamond drilling continues to intersect copper sulphides in felsic volcanic flow rocks. Primary sulphides are bornite with minor chalcocite and covellite as well as chalcopyrite.Copper mineralization has been outlined along 200m of strike and to a depth of 150m at the Nobody Knows No 2 zone.Drilling has shown an increase in bornite with depth particularly in holes 3, 8 and 16.The discovery drill holes show similarities to many of the world's major sediment-hosted copper systems with the association of silver with copper.Drilling has tested 4 different zones with 3000 m completed in 26 holes.Rocks hosting the copper mineralization present have been sheared with abundant ground up copper mineralization (bornite) in the fault gouge. The Company has only received assay results for the first 2 shallow holes targeting the area of copper mineralization. Assay results for the first 2 holes are reported below:DDH #From(m)To (m)Widthg/t Ag% Cu% Cu eqDDH-NB-23-111.7415.243.512.351.701.82including14.4815.240.7650.36.757.25and17.6827.7410.02.40.330.35DDH-NB-23-26.7032.0127.614.600.840.96including9.4511.582.131555.396.87 Copper equivalent: Using 22.71per ounce US for silver price and $3.57 US for copper price.A map showing the areas of the 2023 drilling is shown below.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/3615/184526_f3cc892374eeebea_001full.jpgTreasure Mountain Surface Exploration Update On the Treasure Mountain Property 20 km east, work in 2023 l...
