[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 02, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kutcho Copper Corp. (TSXV: KC) (OTC: KCCFF) (“Kutcho Copper” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce final drill results from the Esso deposit and initial results from the Main deposit at its 100% owned Kutcho high grade copper-zinc project located in British Columbia. Drill hole KC18-225-W1 is the final hole drilled at Esso and returned 11.5m of 1.9% CuEq* including a 1.5m high grade intersection of 6.6% CuEq*. This hole intersected a copper mineralized carbonate-silica exhalite, followed by 38m of lapilli tuff, containing 20-25% pyrite and 3% chalcopyrite. Within this tuff, several intervals of high grade chalcopyrite stringers occur that extends mineralization below the resource block model. Vince Sorace, President & CEO, stated, “We have now completed all the field work required on the Esso deposit for the Feasibility Study. We will now embark on generating a new mineral resource estimate for Esso while completing resource expansion drilling on the Main deposit. The results from hole KC18-225-W1 are particularly exciting as it consists of a previously unrecognized stringer zone to the Esso lens that lies outside of the current mineral resource block model and may be discordant to the main trend of mineralization. As a result, the intersection remains open down dip and along strike.” Drill holes KC18-234 to KC18-242 are distributed throughout the Main deposit and are designed to collect metallurgical samples, geotechnical information and convert mineral resources from inferred to indicated categories. Highlights from the Main deposit include: KC18-237 with 3.1m of 1.65% Cu, 5.2% Zn, 38.9 g/t Ag and 0.41 g/t Au or 4.4% CuEq* KC18-239 with 18.8m of 1.80% Cu, 1.4% Zn, 30.2 g/t Ag and 0.28 g/t Au or 2.8% CuEq* (including 6.4m of 3.8% CuEq* and including 4.3m of 4.1% CuEq*) KC18-240 with 14.4m of 1.62% Cu, 4.4% Zn, 31.9 g/t Ag and 0.54 g/t Au or 4.1% CuEq* (including 10.4m of 5.3% CuEq* and including 2.2m of 13.7% CuEq*) KC18-242 with 21.9m of 1.74% Cu, 2.5% Zn, 37.5 g/t Ag and 0.32 g/t Au or 3.3% CuEq* (including 7.4m of 5.5% CuEq*) Drilling confirmed mineralization tenor and grade throughout the Main deposit and continues to demonstrate the high grade in the deposit.
