[{"type":"text","content":"Vancouver, British Columbia, December 10, 2024 – TheNewswire – Manning Ventures Inc. (the “Company” or “Manning”) (CSE: MANN; Frankfurt: 1H5) is pleased to provide an update regarding its current phase one drill program at the at the Copper Hill Project, located along the prolific Walker Lane Trend, western Nevada, USA. The first two drill holes of the Company’s initial phase one drill program at the Copper Hill project has been completed. CH-1 reached a depth of approximately 200 meters with the initial analysis of material recovered underway. Hole CH-2 (PDH-3) completed at approximately 150 meters. Drill holes CH-1 and CH-2 are targeting zones of strong geochemistry and favorable structural zones. The third drill hole, CH-3 (PDH-2), was down approximately 150 meters on Sunday. CH-3 is targeting one of the northwest trending magnetic corridors with historic copper values. Several drill pads have now been completed with additional drill pad preparation underway and progressing well. This phase one drill program will consist of up to nine Reverse Circulation (“RC”) drill holes totalling approximately 2,500 meters. Drilling will test for skarn mineralization on the contact between the limestone and the intrusive for the Northern and the Southern Zones. The two zones outline target areas that returned significant copper values (0.5 to > 1.0% copper) in intense skarn alteration. The Copper Hill Project is comprised of 108 unpatented lode mining claims that cover 2,215 acres (896.3 Ha).

Potential may exist for a porphyry type copper deposit to be found deep beneath Copper Mountain or beneath the covered southeast intrusive. Additionally, porphyry-related veins and local chloritic and sericitic alteration is found along these northwest trends. Two exploration corridors termed the Northern Zone and the Southern Zone outline areas with over 1500 meters (>5,000 feet) of strike length which host significant, intense skarn alteration and elevated copper values (0.5 to >1.0...
