The target, called K9, sits 1.5km south of the K8 target and is the eighth anomaly discovered on the Cross Hills Project that shows iron oxide alteration associated with known surface copper mineralization.\n \n \n The K9 target has been delineated over a\n \n 400m\n \n strike length. A number of samples collected along the\n \n 400m\n \n strike length contained local disseminations and veinlets of chalcopyrite, chalcocite and bornite.\n \n \n One sample returned 1.76% Cu, 12.4 g/t Ag and trace gold. Two other samples along strike returned 0.63% and 0.11% copper, with a number of weakly mineralized areas showing disseminated pyrite and chalcopyrite in the target area. Mineralization is associated with hematite and magnetite with the strongest mineralized sample showing copper associated with a later hematitic phase. The Company will continue to explore this area and move the target along to drill stage, if warranted.\n \n \n A large-scale MMI soil sampling program was completed in the late fall of 2020. The MMI soil program has identified numerous areas that require infill sampling especially along the periphery of the Big K, K6 and Nine Mile targets. Additionally, an initial MMI sampling will be carried out on the newly discovered North Dunns and K9 targets.
