Intersects 830m of 0.38% CuEq At West Seel
Surge Copper Corp. (TSXV:SURG) has received positive assay results for multiple resource definition and exploration holes from the company’s 100% owned Ootsa Property in British Columbia.
Highlights:
- Hole S21-240 intersected 830m grading 0.38% copper equivalent including 170m grading 0.47% copper equivalent
- Holes S21-231 and 234 both hit high grade mineralization on the southeast side of West Seel including 0.70% copper equivalent over 62m and 0.62% copper equivalent over 86m
- Hole S21-239 intersected 190m grading 0.45% copper equivalent including 66m grading 0.65% copper equivalent
VP Exploration, Dr Shane Ebert, said results from eight additional holes are pending, including step out holes to the west, north, and the gap zone area between the Seel deposits
“This latest batch of holes are all step-outs testing the margins of the West Seel deposit and continue to significantly expand the size of the deposit and help define key structural controls,” Dr Ebert said.
“Hole S21-240, on the north side of the deposit, has returned an impressive interval of 830m of continuous mineralisation grading 0.38% copper equivalent, along with higher grade zones.
“The holes on the southeast side of the deposit have also returned strong grades starting around 200 metres below surface with mineralisation remaining open to the southeast. This southeast part of the West Seel deposit is an area where additional drilling has the potential to add significant tonnage to the deposit.”
The company’s northern fall 2020 to winter 2021 drilling programme has been completed. During the programme 20,028 metres was drilled in 27 holes and all holes have been logged, sampled, and submitted for assay.
Drilling is scheduled to resume in late May to early June following spring breakup and snow melt in the area.
