Core Insights - Viscount Mining Corp. announced a significant early-stage discovery at its Passiflora porphyry target in Silver Cliff, Colorado, with drill hole PF-03A intersecting 843.9 meters of continuous copper-gold mineralization averaging 0.214% CuEq, including higher-grade zones [1][4][8] - The results indicate that the Passiflora target has the potential to evolve into a world-class porphyry deposit, as the grades exceed typical early-stage exploration thresholds [1][4][13] Exploration Details - Drill hole PF-03A was designed to test a strong geophysical anomaly identified by Quantec Geoscience's Titan MT survey, which extends from approximately 400 meters to at least 1,500 meters in depth [2] - The drilling commenced in mid-January 2025 and concluded on March 7, 2025, reaching a final depth of 1,144 meters due to equipment challenges [2] Mineralization Characteristics - The upper 300 meters of core were not assayed, but visual inspection confirmed strong sulfide mineralization, making this zone a high-priority target for future sampling [3] - The drill hole confirmed the presence of a copper-gold porphyry system, with consistent anomalous concentrations of copper, molybdenum, zinc, lead, and significant gold presence [3][4] Economic Potential - The average grade of the mineralization is 0.2163% CuEq, well above typical porphyry cut-offs, with nearly half of the samples exceeding the economic range [5][8] - The presence of multiple higher-grade zones, such as 189 meters at 0.326% CuEq and 45 meters at 0.417% CuEq, reinforces the potential for an extensive, long-life copper-gold system [4][8] Next Steps - The technical team plans an expanded drilling campaign to further explore the Titan MT anomaly and assess the system's scale [14] - Further metallurgical work will be conducted to evaluate potential recovery rates for all metals [14]
