[{"type":"text","content":"QC Copper Reports Metallurgical Results from its Roger Property in ChibougamauHighlightsLike Opemiska, the Roger Projects gold-copper mineralization appears very amenable to floatation processingMetallurgical results indicate that material from Roger could be processed in the same circuit as OpemiskaIn 2018, 10.9 million tonnes of Indicated resources at a grade of 0.85 g/t of gold, 0.80 g/t silver, and 0.06% copper, and an additional 6.57 million tonnes of inferred mineral resources at 0.75 g/t gold, 1.18 g/t silver and 0.11% copper, a now historical resource was published on RogerToronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - August 29, 2023) - QC Copper and Gold Inc. (TSXV: QCCU) (OTCQB: QCCUF) (\"QC Copper\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce further metallurgical results from its current testing program, this time on samples from its Roger Property which is 5km north of the historic mining center of Chibougamau.\"These preliminary results are very encouraging and suggest we could include roughly 17.5 million tonnes of mineralized material in the Roger deposit in a development scenario for Opemiska. Factors such as cut-off grade, average grade, metal prices, and transportation costs will ultimately determine whether Roger can be accretive to Opemiska. However, as of now, the metallurgical studies suggest it is possible. Roger, together with Cook and Robitaille, are well-understood projects where QC Copper will drill out to bring into the 43-101 regime for resource growth in 2024. All three of these projects are proximate to Opemiska's open pit and are being evaluated as part of a broader development plan for the District, which we will define in a forthcoming Preliminary Economic Assessment for our District,\" said Stephen Stewart, Chairman and CEO of QC Copper.Roger Metallurgical SamplingTwo samples of mineralized core were collected from the Roger deposit, sample P1 from the porphyry zone and N from the mineralized mafic volcanics to the north. The testing aims to determine whether the mineralized material at Roger could be processed using the same flowsheet being tested at Opemiska, as reported in the news release dated July 25, 2023.Testing was done at SGS and preliminary results show that material ground to the same specs as Opemiska (P80 = 105microns) have 79% and 73% liberated chalcopyrite in P1 and N composite sampl...
