Magna Terra Exposes Significant Copper Mineralization in Trenches at the Fossil Hill Zone, Rocky Brook Project, New Brunswick

Core Insights - Magna Terra Minerals Inc. has completed its trenching program at the Fossil Hill Zone of the Rocky Brook Project, revealing significant copper mineralization [1][9] - The project is strategically located near Canadian Copper Inc.'s Caribou Mill Complex, enhancing its potential for additional copper-rich deposits [9][10] Trenching Program Results - The trenching program targeted historical grab samples with high copper grades, including 16.65% and 13.84% copper and 0.64% cobalt [2] - Three trenches (T4, T7, and T8) were excavated, totaling 245 meters, with in situ copper mineralization observed in each trench, including a notable 40-meter zone in trench T8 [2][3] Geological Findings - The trenches exposed mafic volcanic and breccia rocks of the Armstrong Formation, with mineralization consisting of malachite, chalcopyrite, and native copper [3] - A total of 93 samples were collected, including 68 grab samples of bedrock and 14 channel samples, with mineralization observed over significant lengths in trenches T4 and T7 [3][4] Future Plans - Stripped sections of the trenches will remain exposed for further mapping and sampling in spring, with analytical results pending from ALS Canada Ltd. [4] - The company plans to advance multiple high-priority targets throughout the Rocky Brook Project in 2026, including areas near the Restigouche Property [9][10] Project Overview - The Rocky Brook Project covers 28,089 hectares and is one of the largest landholders in the Bathurst Mining Camp, known for its rich mineral deposits [10][11] - The project is adjacent to significant historical mining operations and has shown potential for polymetallic mineralization, including copper, cobalt, lead, zinc, gold, and silver [10][12]
