CopperBank Commences Drilling at Pyramid
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / August 1, 2017 / Copperbank Resources Corp. ("CopperBank" or the "Company") (CSE: CBK) (OTC PINK: CPPKF) is pleased to announce that it has commenced drilling at its 100% controlled Pyramid Copper project, located on the Alaska Peninsula. Two diamond core drill rigs are on site and in operation, to complete a first phase of drilling composed of a minimum of 3,000 metres. The program targets the lateral extensions of known porphyry style copper mineralized zones with the goal of increasing the historical resource. The second phase of drilling will take bigger step-outs to test areas of know mineralization and/or alteration observed at the surface. An alteration halo of approximately 12 square kilometres is reported by the USGS (I-2272, 1995) around the 2 square kilometres outlined so far by the drilling work. This program will allow a better understanding of the mineralization distribution and control and might establish the link between the main known mineralized zones.
A detailed map of the proposed drilling plan can be found on the company website http://copperbankcorp.com/alaska-projects/about-pyramid.
Gianni Kovacevic, CopperBank Executive Chairman, comments, "This is a long awaited follow-up program to the drilling performed by our predecessors in 2010, 2011, and 2012. With the Pyramid deposit open in numerous directions, our technical team has carefully crafted this drill program to address the open areas of known mineralization. Subject to results, we aim to update the historical inferred resource released in June of 2013."
