[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 29, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Koryx Copper Inc. (\"Koryx\" or “the Company\") (TSX-V: KRY) announces that it has initiated an induced polarization survey program at the Luanshya West (23246-HQ-LEL) project in Zambia. The induced polarization (IP) survey is a ground electrical geophysical survey which will help with drill target generation exercise prior to drilling. The IP survey will consist of two phases. The first phase will include 40.1 line kilometres of gradient array IP at 100m spacing over 6 targets totaling up to about 300 hectares that exhibits consistent geochemistry anomalies with strong Cu and Co association delineated from the previous soil sampling program and defined by the interpretation report recently completed by Earthmap Consulting. Phase two will comprise of pole dipole over IP anomalies generated by the gradient array. The survey parameters of pole dipole will depend on the geometry of the IP anomalies generated by the gradient array IP. Pierre Léveillé, Koryx's President & CEO, stated, \"This work program is a critical step toward delineating and prioritizing drill targets. The Company's recently completed review and interpretation of existing geochemical, geological, and regional airborne data provided 6 prioritized zones warranting detailed follow up groundwork. The IP survey will provide valuable subsurface geophysical signatures within these prioritized zones and support in defining drilling targets for a drill campaign to come in 2024.\" Earthmap Consulting was mandated to complete the geophysical interpretation of airborne magnetic data available for the Luanshya West project. The report concluded the following: The superimposition of Koryx Copper latest soil geochemical Cu and Co results suggest two styles of mineralization targets: 1- A high priority Footwall Arenite-Hosted Cu-Co soil anomaly with a footprint size similar to the Chibuluma South deposit, as well as 14 km of currently under-sampled Lower Roan Subgroup where additional Footwall Arenite-Hosted Cu-Co mineralization may still be found. 2- Five additional Cu-Co soil anomalies are situated in upper stratigraphy, namely Upper Roan Subgroup and possibly Mwashya Subgroup. These anomalies may indicate lateorogenic, structurally controlled Cu-Co mineralization. The aeromagnetic data is of insufficient reso...
