Core Insights - Red Canyon Resources Ltd. has outlined exploration plans for its 100% owned Osiris copper-gold project in British Columbia, focusing on drill testing priority targets and upgrading additional targets in early 2026 [1][2][3] Company Highlights - The Inzana area, hosting the Osiris project, is prioritized for its copper-gold potential due to its geological setting and underexplored nature, with historical drill intercepts indicating promising mineralization [2][3] - The company holds a portfolio of seven 100% owned projects in British Columbia and Nevada, with high-priority projects including Kendal, Inzana (Osiris and Acheron), and Scraper Springs [2] Project Overview - The Osiris project features altered, mineralized porphyry intrusions with potential for multiple copper-gold porphyry centers, located in the Quesnellia island arc terrane [3][7] - A 2,500 m diamond drill program is planned for the Camp target, alongside a 1,500 m reverse circulation drill program for multiple under-cover targets [3][12] - Historical drill hole 91-2 returned 0.18% copper and anomalous gold over 127.4 m, interpreted as peripheral to a copper-gold porphyry system [3][27] Exploration Plans - Expanded work programs in 2025 have solidified exploration plans for early 2026, including selective IP and EM geophysics, RC drilling, and diamond drilling at priority targets [3][13] - New magnetic data indicates multiple magnetic features in the Osiris project area, enhancing the understanding of potential drill targets [11][18] Target Areas - The Camp target is modeled as a highly magnetic body with potential for significant mineralization, and is the top priority for early 2026 drilling [14][22] - The Acheron project at Inzana is characterized by a NW-trending magnetic high, with historic exploration indicating hydrothermally altered and mineralized porphyritic intrusions [35][36] Historical Context - The project area has a history of intermittent work programs over 50 years, including geological mapping, geochemistry, and drilling, which have identified various porphyritic intrusive rocks and anomalous geochemistry [8][37]
