(TSXV: KC) (OTCQX: KCCFF) (\"Kutcho Copper\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce it has completed target generation over its entire prospective project package that already hosts three volcanogenic massive sulphide (\"VMS\") copper-zinc deposits - Main, Sumac and Esso. The exploration package encompasses several high priority targets, as well as a suite of longer lead target areas. The Esso West target is the highest priority and has geophysical and geologic characteristics very similar to the Esso deposit, the highest grade of the three known deposits at Kutcho and lies immediately along strike to the west.High Priority Targets:Esso West: 1,900 m strike by 500 m down dip coincident ZTEM1, VTEM2, magnetic, and seismic target that lies along strike to the west of the high-grade Esso deposit. Historical, drilling down dip, and at the eastern margin of the target returned an intercept of 7.2m @ 2.0% Cu and 5.2% Zn.Mother: 7.5 km long, partially coincident ZTEM and VTEM target. A total of four historical drill holes tested portions of the target and define a prospective geological environment for a potential VMS deposit, including surface rock chip samples that returned > 10% Cu, 0.10% Zn, 69 g/t Ag and 2.2 g/t Au over widths of 2.5 to 5cm.Far East: 3.5 km long, partially coincident ZTEM, VTEM and magnetic target. A total of four historical drill holes tested a 400 m strike length of the target and defined a prospective geological environment for potential VMS deposits, including anomalous copper and zinc values in syngenetic pyritic mudstones.Vince Sorace, President & CEO of Kutcho Copper comments: \"We are pleased to have completed this phase of our target generation at Kutcho. The collection of new ZTEM, VTEM, magnetic and seismic data has given our technical team the tools to unlock the full value of the generations of exploration data collected on the project. This work defined a land package that encompasses over 60 strike km of fold-repeated favourable stratigraphy that we have distilled down to three compelling high priority targets and two additional favourable trends. We are looking forward to drill testing the Esso West and Mother targets, as well as advancing field evaluati...
