[{"type":"text","content":"Dunnedin Commences Exploration at MPD Copper-Gold Porphyry Project in British ColumbiaVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 1, 2019) - Dunnedin Ventures Inc. (TSXV: DVI) (the \"Company\" or \"Dunnedin\") announces the commencement of the 2019 exploration program at its 100% owned MPD Copper-Gold Porphyry Project in Southern Central British Columbia. In preparation for upcoming drilling, the Company has mobilized field crews to the property for mapping, sampling and prospecting work. Claudia Tornquist, President and CEO of Dunnedin said, \"These are pivotal times at Dunnedin as we embark on programs to advance our copper gold assets, starting with this inaugural program at MPD, followed by work at Trapper and Mohave later in 2019. MPD has many attributes that could drive significant returns for our shareholders, not least its location just off the highways 5A and 97C and proximity to infrastructure in an established mining area in Southern British Columbia. We are also excited about the project's large footprint and its promising historic exploration results, which clearly show the potential for a major copper-gold porphyry system.\"MPD ExplorationThe recently consolidated 78.5 square kilometre MPD Project land package (historically called Man, Prime and Dillard, Figure 1) is ideally positioned in the Quesnel Trough, a producing copper-gold porphyry belt, that hosts several world-class mines. The project's Nicola Belt geology has many similar characteristics to nearby alkalic porphyry systems at the Copper Mountain Mine to the south, and New Gold's New Afton Mine to the north. In preparation for drilling at MPD, work has commenced to survey previous drill holes and trench sites, tie-in historic exploration data, prospect new areas of interest and confirm access for proposed drill sites. As part of this work, historic surface trenches from 1980 and earlier are being resampled by hand-trenching to substantiate mineralization and determine geological-geochemical controls within key target areas. In addition, soil geochemical surveys are being carried out to augment and in-fill geochemical anomalies identified in historic surveys. Results for this preliminary work will be reported in August as received.Figure 1 - LocationTo view an enhanced version of Figure 1, please visit:https://orders.newsfilecorp.com/files/3803/4...
