Alpha Copper (ALCU) has signed a drilling contract to undertake an initial 2000 metre drill program at its Okeover  project located in B.C.

Regional service provider Superior Diamond Drilling Inc. will embark on an initial 2000 metre diamond drill program designed to expand the North Lake Zone where a historic resource is targeted.

The Okeover copper-molybdenum property encompasses 4,613 hectares (11,399 acres) north of Powell River. Ok has been explored by several companies including Noranda Exploration, Asarco Exploration, Falconbridge Nickel Mines Ltd., Duval International Corporation, Lumina Copper Corp, and Eastfield Resources Ltd.

Drilling to-date has always been shallow in nature and ended in mineralization. Alpha Copper aims to test the mineralization at-depth and also looks to extend the mineralized target body data as part of its efforts towards the completion of a National Instrument (N.I.) 43-101 technical report planned for 2023.

Company CEO Darryl Jones notes,

“We look forward to working with the drill team from Superior and in getting this initial program sampled and in the lab. All the data from the historic work has developed a compelling picture that our initial drill program should be able to substantiate. We hope to ultimately make a significant step towards generating an accurate workplan towards a positive technical report and clear indication of the path ahead. As always, we drill to unearth value and look forward to unlocking the potential for this exciting project.”

Alpha Copper is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on advancing its Indata and Okeover Projects located in British Columbia. The company is positioned to earn a 60 per cent interest in the Indata copper-gold project located in north central British Columbia and a 100 per cent interest in the Okeover copper-molybdenum project.

Alpha Copper Corp. (ALCU) opened trading at C$0.385.
