Intrepid Metals Corp. (TSXV: INTR) has provided further details about its new district scale, advanced exploration and development copper property, the Corral Copper Project, in Cochise County, Arizona. The company has highlighted that over 50,000m of drilling has been completed in the district, with significant near surface intercepts of copper, silver, gold, and zinc.
“With the recent acquisition of Cave Creek Copper, we have assay and drill hole information for over 100 holes that have been drilled within the patented mining claim portion of our property. The shallow and high-grade nature of the mineralization is very encouraging as we continue to analyze and review the historical data. This data will guide us as we plan next steps within the district and allow us to classify this as an advanced exploration project based on the wealth of historical drilling.” said Ken Brophy, CEO of Intrepid Metals.

The drill results are historical in nature. Intrepid has not undertaken any independent investigation of the sampling nor has it independently analyzed the results of the historical exploration work to verify the results. Intrepid considers these historical drill results relevant, as the company will use this data as a guide to plan future exploration programmes. Intrepid also considers the data to be reliable for these purposes; however, the company’s future exploration work will include verification of the data through further drilling.
