Sanatana Resources (STA) has now completed the first porphyry-focused drill program on its Oweegee Dome project.

The project is located in British Columbia’s Golden Triangle.

Work covered 3,679 metres of HQ size core drilling in twelve holes on the copper-gold property.

The Vancouver-based mineral explorer believes an area of copper mineralization significantly expands one of the project’s prospects.

Copper mineralization was noted in eight of 12 drill holes.

“Despite inclement weather for much of the late spring and early summer our initial drill program proceeded as planned thanks to the efforts of our team at Bell 2 camp. This summer’s drilling primarily tested the boundaries of the Molloy monzonite followed by validation and extension of the known historic copper intercepts and lastly to test new targets,” said CEO Peter Miles.

“This program was specifically designed to test the theory that there is a copper-gold porphyry system on the Oweegee Dome project, which is just 40 km east of the KSM porphyry deposits, one of the largest undeveloped Cu-Au Reserves in the world.”

Sanatana Resources is unchanged, trading at $0.10 at 12:10 pm ET.
