[{"type":"text","content":"VANCOUVER, BC, May 9, 2024 /CNW/ - Getty Copper Inc. (\"Getty,\" or \"The Company\") is pleased to report drill results from the first two holes of its late 2023 drill program at the Glossie occurrence on its Highland Valley property near Logan Lake, B.C. The best interval in the first two drill holes was from GL-23-01, which returned 8.11% Cu, 1.54 g/t Au, 41.5 g/t Ag and 60 ppm Mo, from 93.9 to 94.4m downhole (0.5m). The adjacent sample downhole returned 2020 ppm Cu (0.2% Cu from 94.4 to 95.72m). A correlative interval in the adjacent hole, GL-23-02 returned 9430ppm Cu (0.94% Cu), 83ppb Au, and 5.76g/t Ag between 77.86 and 78.5m downhole (0.64m). Core from the remaining three drillholes is currently being cut and will be shipped to the laboratory shortly. The drill intersections in the first two holes likely correlate with, and represent the subsurface expression of, the vein mineralization discovered in the early 1900's and eventually selectively hand-mined from limited shallow workings at the Glossie occurrence. In late November and early December of 2023 Getty drilled five diamond drill holes for a total of 737m from two drill pads in the vicinity of the Glossie occurrence on its Highland Valley area property. Average depth of the drill holes was 147m, with hole depth ranging between 84 and 201m. The holes targeted the subsurface expression of the near-surface and roughly east-west to east-southeast trend of the apparently northerly-dipping \"Glossie vein.\" Glossie Occurrence Details Historical work included a 30-metre shaft on the vein, which intersected 1.5 metres of ore at 9 metres depth. The vein at the shaft apparently had a strike of 103 degrees and dipped steeply to the north; varied in width from several centimetres to 2.7 metres. The eastern shaft, approximately 76 metres east of the main shaft, was sunk on a 1.5-metre vein that had a strike of 110 degrees and dipped to the north at 70 degrees. The vein was apparently continuous between the shafts, and several other showings of vein mineralization were exposed in excavations between them. The Glossie area is underlain by a number of northerly trending granodiorite to quartz diorite phases of the Upper Triassic Guichon Creek batholith that are at least locally cut by dikes or ...
