(Orecap) (TSXV: OCI) (OTCQB: ORFDF) is pleased to update on the remaining five holes from Cuprum Corp's (Cuprum) 2,600 metre drill program on its flagship Thierry copper project (Thierry). Notably, holes CCM-23-55 and CCM-23-54 were step-out holes north of the current surface expression of the K1 deposit. Orecap owns 29.5 million shares of Cuprum Corp., and is its largest shareholder. QC Copper, another Orecap portfolio company, owns 6 million shares of Cuprum Corp. Curprum owns 100% of the Thierry Copper Project.PLAN VIEW OF 2023 DRILL HOLES\"With high-grade mineralization across long intervals in all of the drill holes from the 2023 drill program to date, there is significant scope to expand K1's resource and develop a much larger, bulk tonnage scenario complementing the high-grade underground Thierry deposit (K2). Based on the 2023 drill program results we see a consistently mineralized trend ranging from 20m to 200m of lower-grade, bulk tonnage material. Additionally, given the proximity and continuity of geophysical anomalies between the K1 and K2 zones, there is potential to connect K1 and K2 deposits,\" said Orecap Chairman Stephen Stewart. CCM-23-55, CCM-23-54 - Step Out HolesThe step-out holes were designed to test the expansion potential of the K1's bulk tonnage near surface deposit located 3km east of Curpum's past-producing high-grade underground Thierry mine. CCM-23-55 and CCM-23-54 were collared 300 metres and 200 metres north of the known surface expression of the K1 deposit, respectively. The high-grade and long intercept in CCM-23-55 and CCM-23-54 confirm the presence of a larger mineralized trend outside of...
