(TSXV: MLO) (\"Metalero\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce exceptional results from its recently completed ionic leach soil geochemical survey at the Cantin Target, part of the Company's flagship Benson Project, located in the prolific Quesnel Trough of central British Columbia (Figure 1). \"These soil anomalies, covering >8 km2 and open in all directions, highlight the copper and gold potential at Cantin which lies just 35 km northwest of the Mt Polley Mine in the same structural corridor.\" stated Rob L'Heureux, President & CEO of Metalero Mining. \"The anomalies defined here will guide the next phase of exploration, including further sampling, ground geophysics, and drill targeting later in the 2025 field season. We are excited to deliver these excellent results at a time when the Quesnel Trough is booming with massive copper production and new discoveries.\"The ionic leach program was designed to evaluate and refine copper-gold targets across the underexplored Cantin area, where historical exploration and recent Geoscience BC Artificial-Intelligence (AI) work has indicated strong potential for porphyry-style mineralization known as the QUEST targets. A total of 344 soil samples were collected with a 100-metre sample spacing and sample lines 500 to 1,500 metres apart.Highlights from the Cantin survey include:Multiple coherent copper (Cu) anomalies defining a north-northwest trend and open for expansion (Figure 2).Broad zones of gold (Au) anomalism coincident with copper responses and magnetic features from airborne geophysical surveys (Figure 3).Strong correlation between anomalous Cu-Au responses, mapped structural corridors/potential fluid pathways, and linear features from airborne geophysical surveys. Figure 1. Map of BC showing Benson, known porphyry Cu-Au occurrences, and some of the major, recent projects and mines all within the Quesnel Trough. Benson is host to known mineralization associated with porphyry systems which have not been systematically explored since the early 1990s.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/11670...
