Core Insights - Corcel Exploration Inc. has announced plans for Phase 1 of its maiden drill program and surface exploration activities at the Yuma King Project in Arizona, focusing on copper-gold mineralization [1][8] Drilling Program - The Phase 1 drill program will consist of approximately 2,000 meters of diamond drilling, targeting copper-gold skarn and porphyry mineralization around the historical Yuma King Mine area [1][5] - The objectives include confirming historic drill results, expanding known mineralization, and identifying new high-grade copper-gold areas [3][4] - Initial drilling will test skarn/replacement and porphyry mineralization, which remains open in multiple directions and at depth [3][4] Historical Context - Historical drilling at the Yuma King Mine has shown significant intersections, including 0.78% copper, 0.53 g/t gold, and 6.3 g/t silver over 45.4 meters in copper-gold skarn [4] - The upcoming drilling aims to step out from known mineralization to expand mineralized zones [4] Geophysical Surveys - An Induced Polarization (IP) survey will be conducted over the Three Musketeers and Yuma King West targets to identify anomalies and guide further exploration [1][9] - The IP survey will collect high-resolution data and image subsurface mineralization to a depth of approximately 400 meters [9] Additional Exploration Activities - In addition to drilling and the IP survey, the 2025 exploration activities will include remote sensing hyperspectral alteration surveys, geological mapping, and surface geochemical sampling [10][11] - The results from these activities will be combined with historical data to prioritize targets for a potential Phase 2 drill program [11] Company Overview - Corcel Exploration is engaged in the acquisition and exploration of precious and base metals properties in North America, including the Yuma King Cu-Au project, which spans 3,200 hectares [14]
