Cascadia Minerals (TSXV:CAM) has completed 2024 fieldwork at its Yukon and British Columbia properties with assays pending for multiple projects.
Exploring for new copper-gold porphyry systems, the Vancouver-based junior mining company reported that Phase 2 drilling at the Spark Zone in the Yukon Catch property totalled 1,441.54 metres in two step-out holes. Phase 1 drilling was finished in May and extended the strike length of copper porphyry mineralization by 315 metres, with hole CA-24-006 returning 106.00 metres of 0.52 per cent copper equivalent (CuEq).
Phase 2 prospecting and structural geology work was also completed at the Amp Zone, with 11 additional rock samples collected to follow up on the discovery of high-grade epithermal gold-silver mineralization that returned 1,065 grams per tonne (g/t) gold with 267 g/t silver.
Elsewhere in the territory, mapping and geochemical sampling programs were carried out at the early-stage Sands of Time, Mack’s Copper and Milner properties, which the team added all host potential for new copper-gold porphyry discoveries.
Cascadia’s first drill program on the PIL property in B.C. was recently completed, comprising two diamond drill holes at the PIL South target totalling 1,759 metres. A new area of visual copper mineralization in an outcrop was discovered 1.5 km south of the Copper Ridge target, measuring approximately 400 by 300 metres across a vertical extent of more than 100 metres. A total of 408 rock samples were collected at a variety of new and previously known targets.
“Our team has had a busy and productive 2024 season,” Graham Downs, CEO of Cascadia Minerals, said in a statement. “We completed further step-out drilling at Catch, continuing to test the extension of known mineralization at the Spark Zone. We also undertook our first diamond drill program at the PIL Property in B.C., which has seen significant historical exploration but limited work in recent years. Concurrent with drilling at PIL, our crews conducted comprehensive prospecting at numerous targets, which was highlighted by the discovery of a large area of visual copper mineralization in outcrop 1.5 km south of the Copper Ridge target. Finally, work at the Sands of Time, Mack’s Copper and Milner properties continues to advance these early-stage projects through the exploration pipeline to prepare for drilling.”
Cascadia Minerals is focused on making new copper and gold discoveries in the Yukon and British Columbia. In the Yukon, the company’s flagship Catch Property is host to a new copper-gold porphyry discovery where inaugural drill results returned broad intervals of mineralization, including 116.60 m of 0.31 per cent copper with 0.30 g/t gold.
Shares of Cascadia Minerals Ltd. (TSXV:CAM) opened trading at $0.175.
