Granite Creek Copper Provides Exploration Update

04.08.2020  |  Accesswire

VANCOUVER, August 4, 2020 - Granite Creek Copper Ltd. (TSX.V:GCX) ("Granite Creek" or "the Company") is pleased to provide an update with respect to progress and early findings from its 2020 exploration campaign at the 100%-owned Stu Copper-Gold project in the Minto Copper District of Canada's Yukon Territory. The phase one 2020 exploration program, launched in mid-July, included re-logging and re-sampling of historic core, multi-element soil sampling to determine the precious metal response in soils, and the refinement of target sites for a potential follow-up diamond drilling campaign later this year. Additionally, the Company announces its participation in the Yukon Exploration Series event hosted by the Yukon Mining Alliance ("YMA") on August 6th.

Exploration Program Update

As detailed in a news release dated July 25, 2020, past operators at Stu selectively sampled just 20-30% of the core from the highly prospective Zone A during a drill campaign in 1980. Granite Creek was able to locate a significant portion of the highest-grade core and complete a program of re-logging and re-sampling, including analysis of core that hand not been previously sampled. Multiple measurements consisting of near infrared spectral analysis (NIR), magnetic susceptibility, conductivity, and X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) on over 1400 metes of core were collected systematically over entire holes. Samples have been shipped to Bureau Veritas assay labs for full multi-element analysis, including fire assay for gold. The data from the program will be used to further the Company's understanding of structural controls, alteration, and metal distribution within the mineralized zones on the Stu property (see photos below).

Photos demonstrating the following copper oxide and sulphide mineralization are included overleaf:

  1. Typical oxide core mineralised with malachite and azurite.
  2. Foliated granodiorite unit mineralised with malachite and chalcopyrite from trenches.
  3. Foliated granodiorite unit mineralised with malachite and chalcopyrite from outcrop.
  4. Typical higher grade, sulfide mineralised core.

YMA Yukon Exploration Series

Granite Creek is pleased to announce that President and CEO Tim Johnson will participate in first of two planned webinars hosted by the Yukon Mining Alliance ("YMA") and featuring three member companies. The event, which starts at 10am PST on August 6th, will be moderated by Trevor Hall and is being coordinated with 6ix as part of the YMA's Investment Summit Series.

Mr. Johnson stated, "As a proud member of the YMA Granite Creek is delighted to participate in this high-quality virtual investor conference. The Yukon is recognised globally as one of the best jurisdictions for mineral exploration and development due in no small part to the excellent work done by the YMA in support and promotion of its member companies."
