Core Viewpoint - District Copper Corp. has provided an update on its Copper Keg porphyry copper project, highlighting significant advancements in understanding the project's geological potential and exploration strategy [1][2]. Project Overview - The Copper Keg project spans 6,628 hectares in the Kamloops mining Division, British Columbia, located approximately 20 kilometers north of Teck Resources Limited's mining operations [1]. - The project aims to characterize the porphyry copper potential and develop an updated exploration model based on new geological data [4]. Exploration Results - Phase 1 of the 2025 exploration program has improved the understanding of the porphyry copper potential, particularly in the gossan area, which shows encouraging geological features [2]. - The exploration identified a primary target area measuring approximately 1,000 meters long by 200 meters wide, characterized by variably altered Nicola volcanics [3]. Geological Findings - The Phase I program has revealed several previously unrecorded porphyry-related geological parameters, including the relocation of the Guichon Creek/Nicola contact and the presence of altered porphyritic dikes [6]. - High sensitivity airborne magnetic data suggests that the Guichon Creek/Nicola Volcanic contact may be intrusive rather than structural [7]. Mineralization Insights - The exploration has located areas of primary and secondary copper mineralization, with significant pyrite mineralization observed in the Nicola Volcanics [10]. - Various styles of mineralized and non-mineralized vein sets have been identified, indicating the presence of a porphyry copper system [9].
