Core Insights - Kutcho Copper Corp. is advancing its high-grade copper-zinc project in Northwest British Columbia, highlighting two significant near-resource drill targets, Hamburger and The Gap, which cover over 4 km² combined and are planned for testing in the 2026 drill program [1][2]. Exploration Targets - The Hamburger target is a high-priority area of over 2.8 km², more than double the current known mineral resource at the Main Deposit, with geological indicators suggesting multiple exploration target types [4][9]. - The Gap target covers 1.3 km² and is located at the intersection of two important conductivity trends, indicating potential for VMS-style mineralization [11][12]. Historical Drilling Insights - Historical drill holes near the Hamburger target have shown significant anomalous values, such as 0.227% Cu and 1.07% Zn over 1.9 m, suggesting proximity to economic massive sulphide mineralization [6]. - The Gap target has also shown positive indicators of VMS mineralization, with historical drilling revealing carbonate alteration and pyrite mineralization over lengths of up to 15 m [12][13]. Planned Drilling Program - In 2026, the company plans to drill six holes targeting the Hamburger and The Gap areas, with each hole accompanied by a down-hole EM survey to refine target direction [16].
