Exploration targets were interpreted in the context of an alkalic porphyry model, where such coincident geophysical and geochemical features may indicate pyrite-chalcopyrite mineralization associated with magnetite-bearing potassic alteration. The target area is covered by till and had not been drill tested until this 2025 program.","length":503,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":"Len Brownlie, Ph.D., CEO of Prospect Ridgenoted "Our initial shallow drilling into "blind" targets, identified by geophysical data under glacial till, has resulted in the discovery of an alkalic porphyry that is copper and gold bearing and has a large geophysical footprint. Copper mineralization in hole CAM25-009 is associated with chargeability highs on the shoulder of a moderate magnetic anomaly, providing us with a newly recognized targeting criterion. In addition, Au to Cu ratios determined from core assays, particularly in the 6 m interval from 164 to 170 metres, indicate a positive correlation between gold and copper grades, suggesting that gold may represent a meaningful by-product component of copper mineralization. Furthermore, the dominance of pyrite over chalcopyrite suggests that we have not yet encountered the core of the porphyry system and we loo...
