Core Insights - Canada One Mining Corp. has provided an exploration update following the Phase 2 exploration program at its 100% owned Copper Dome Project, highlighting significant findings of visible copper sulphide minerals, particularly in the Friday Creek zone [1][3]. Exploration Summary - The Phase 2 field program focused on historic MINFILE occurrences, with crews successfully visiting all documented locations and establishing 53 field stations with full metadata [4][6]. - A total of 29 rock samples were collected and submitted for analysis, with results expected in approximately four weeks [4][15]. - Early observations included the presence of chalcopyrite stringers, mineralized breccia cement, and bornite clots, indicating promising mineralization [5][6]. Geological Observations - The Friday Creek Zone exhibited strong potassic alteration and visible chalcopyrite and bornite mineralization, suggesting proximity to porphyry copper systems [7][9]. - Bornite, a copper-bearing sulphide mineral, was found across a significant area, indicating a potential high-temperature potassic zone and strong porphyry system potential near the surface [8][9]. - Alteration was mapped over a vertical extent of approximately 100 meters, with the strongest alteration intensity recorded at the valley bottom [9]. Future Plans - A follow-up field program is scheduled for Q2 2026, aimed at delineating alteration zonation patterns and understanding the structural controls on mineralization [14]. - Detailed petrographic and geochemical analyses will be conducted to refine the understanding of the relationship between observed hydrothermal alteration assemblages and the inferred porphyry center [14]. Project Context - The Copper Dome Project is located in the lower Quesnel Trough porphyry belt, adjacent to Hudbay Minerals Inc.'s Copper Mountain Mine, which has Proven and Probable Reserves of approximately 367 million tonnes at 0.25% Cu, 0.12 g/t Au, and 0.69 g/t Ag [16][17]. - The project benefits from excellent infrastructure, enabling year-round access and cost-efficient exploration in a stable jurisdiction [19].
