"Our team has identified, mapped and sampled a previously unknown 1,250 metre by 500 metre hydrothermal breccia at Target KBX-17. The breccia is anomalous in copper and samples in the diorite host rock contain up to 1.6% copper in the immediate vicinity of the breccia body. The interpretation of our field geologists is that this target is a vertically-zoned, sulphide-cemented hydrothermal breccia originating from a porphyry system at depth. This result highlights the exploration upside across this exceptional land package and validates our exploration thesis that there is more to be discovered across these projects, beyond what has been outlined by previous operators."","length":891,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":"Target KBX-17","length":13,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":"Target KBX-17 was first identified by Kobrea in March of 2025 when field crews noticed a multi-kilometre colour anomaly from a nearby 4x4 road.
