(\" Faraday \" or the \" Company \") (TSX:FDY)(OTCQX:CPPKF) is pleased to announce the results of five drill holes from its ongoing Phase III drill program at the Copper Creek Project, located in Arizona (\"Copper Creek\"). Two holes were drilled in the American Eagle area, two in the Rum area and one was a reconnaissance hole east of Area 51.Paul Harbidge, President and CEO, commented \"It is exciting to see that our on-going drill program continues to deliver positive results. These results confirm additional near-surface mineralization above the existing resource in the American Eagle area, including the identification of high-grade copper at the Boomerang breccia. Moreover, significant copper was identified in veins outside the breccia domains. All fifteen drill holes, reported in the American Eagle area to date, have intersected copper mineralization above cutoff grade 1 with numerous high-grade zones present. Additionally, drilling has demonstrated exploration potential well outside of the resource area, including east of Area 51 and at depth in the Rum area.\"HighlightsTwo drill holes, FCD-24-077 and FCD-24-082, expand the known near-surface mineralization in the American Eagle area.Drill hole FCD-24-082 intersected mineralization in the Prada breccia and the results demonstrate that the Boomerang breccia is mineralized at depth. Significant intercepts include: At Prada, 118.28 metres (\"m\") at 0.30% copper and 1.14 grams per tonne (\"g/t\") silver from 168.92 m, including 22.54 m at 0.53% copper and 1.39 g/t silver from 213.83 m ; and At Boomerang, 109.42 m at 0.41% copper, 0.007% molybdenum, and 1.24 g/t silver from 417.90 m, including 40.06 m at 0.78% copper, 0.018% molybdenum, and 2.28 g/t silver from 459.08 m.North of the American Eagle breccia, drill hole FCD-24-077 intersected 197.20 m at 0.22% copper and 0.77 g/t silver from 25.37 m, including 16.11 m at 0.45% copper and 1.35 g/t silver from 86.00 m. Mineralization in this area is largely vein-hosted, confirming that copper is not restricted to breccias.A reconnaissance drill hole east of Area 51 identified silver-rich ska...
