Bell Copper has drilled a strongly altered and veined hematitic leached capping hosted by quartz porphyry at Big Sandy project in northwestern Arizona.
The Big Sandy project is located approximately 30 kilometres south of Bell Copper’s Perseverance project.
The drill is cutting hematitic leached capping hosted by sericitized quartz porphyry, cut by quartz veinlets at an inclined depth of 1284 meters.
Leached capping started beneath the gravel at an inclined depth of 1192 meters.
Core drilling at drillhole BS-3 has resumed. BS-3 is oriented to test a 2400 meter area of high electrical conductivity that was detected in a magnetotelluric survey.
Drilling at BS-3 showed altered and veined hematitic leached capping, consisting of seal-brown-coloured, earthy-textured hematite filling fractures.
Oriented core collected shows that BS-3’s porphyry system is tilted 45 degrees from orientation before faulting.
CEO and President of Bell Copper, Tim Marsh, says.
“BS-3 finished 2021 in a 90-meter interval of intensely hematitic, quartz-veined, sericitized quartz porphyry. It is exactly what we wanted to see as the first bedrock under gravel cover.”
Bell Copper is a mineral exploration company focused on the identification, exploration and discovery of copper deposits in Arizona.
Bell Copper (BCU) is down 2.93 per cent at C$0.65 per share at 1:35 PM EST.
