Spruce Ridge Intersects 27.2 Metres of 8.02% Copper at Great Burnt

21.12.2020  |  Accesswire

PUSLINCH, December 21, 2020 - Spruce Ridge Resources Ltd. (TSXV:SHL) ("Spruce Ridge" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the completion of a 22-hole, 3100-metre program of infill diamond drilling on its wholly-owned Great Burnt copper deposit in central Newfoundland. Core from drill hole GB20-05 was selected for assaying on a priority basis because it included sections of unusually high grade copper mineralization. The hole intersected 27.2 metres averaging 8.02% Cu, including 7.75 metres of 16.88% Cu, which in turn included 2.0 metres of 21.25% Cu.

Core from drill hole GB20-20 was also selected for assaying on a priority basis because it includes sections of high grade copper mineralization over 20.65 metres.

CEO John Ryan stated "this remarkable drill hole confirms how variable are the grade and thickness of the Great Burnt Main Zone. It also reaffirms our suspicion that the 1960s-vintage historical drill holes on the deposit may have understated the grade because they were drilled with standard drilling and EX core, and drill logs indicate poor core recovery in the mineralized zone. When all the assays are in from the 2020 program, we plan to revise the Mineral Resource estimate for the Great Burnt Main Zone, and prepare a Preliminary Economic Analysis (PEA) so we can move towards pre-production development".

The following table gives the intervals for the copper grade averages, plus the zinc and gold values associated with the copper intersections. True widths are estimated to be about 60 percent of the core lengths:

Forward looking information in this news release includes, but is not limited to, the Company's objectives, goals or future plans, statements regarding exploration results, potential mineralization, the estimation of mineral resources, exploration and mine development plans, timing of the commencement of operations and estimates of market conditions. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking information include, but are not limited to failure to identify mineral resources, failure to convert estimated mineral resources to reserves, the inability to complete a feasibility study which recommends a production decision, the preliminary nature of metallurgical test results, delays in obtaining or failures to obtain required governmental, environmental or other project approvals, political risks, inability to fulfill the duty to accommodate First Nations and other indigenous peoples, uncertainties relating to the availability and costs of financing needed in the future, changes in equity markets, inflation, changes in exchange rates, fluctuations in commodity prices, delays in the development of projects, capital and operating costs varying significantly from estimates and the other risks involved in the mineral exploration and development industry, and those risks set out in the Company's public documents filed on SEDAR.
