First Tellurium Plans October Drill Campaign to Investigate Copper Porphyry Target at Deer Horn Property

21.09.2022  |  GlobeNewswire

Vancouver, Sept. 21, 2022 - First Tellurium Corp. (CSE: FTEL, OTC FSTTF) (the "Company" or "First Tellurium"), reports that, further to the recently completed copper porphyry investigation at the Company's Deer Horn Property in west-central British Columbia, a follow-up drill campaign is planned for mid-October at the Pond copper porphyry target. The Pond is one of three porphyry-style showings discovered at Deer Horn in 2012. Dr. Lee Groat of the University of British Columbia, who led the August investigation, will direct the upcoming, small-scale drill campaign at Deer Horn.

"Our work last month identified additional copper porphyry-type rocks and geology at the Pond showing," said First Tellurium's President and CEO Tyrone Docherty. "Although we're awaiting assays from the latest rock samples, the team was confident enough in what they found to conduct a short drill campaign to gain more information before the 2022 exploration season ends."

The August investigation followed up on copper showings discovered at Deer Horn in 2012. First Tellurium's latest PEA noted that these showings were indicative of a copper porphyry system hidden from previous explorers due to glaciation.

The Deer Horn Property, located 36 km south of Imperial Metals' Huckleberry Cu-Mo mine and Surge Copper's Ootsa-Berg Project, is a polymetallic asset covering 51 square-kilometers. In addition to copper, tellurium, silver and gold, Deer Horn hosts other mineralized targets and zones containing tungsten, bismuth, lead, zinc and molybdenum.

"While Deer Horn gets a lot of attention for its tellurium and precious metals, the property's critical metal content has become much more intriguing with the push for green metals," said Docherty. "In addition to tellurium, the property's tungsten, bismuth, zinc and molybdenum are all included on the critical metals' lists for both Canada and the U.S."

Docherty added: "Although copper is not technically a critical metal due to its domestic supply, the green revolution cannot happen without it and a lot more copper will be needed. Identifying a large-scale copper porphyry system at Deer Horn could be a game-changer for the Company."

The exploration crew and the drilling company are returning to the property this week to confirm drill locations/access and to examine other potential targets, including the H-Spot showing. As noted in the latest PEA, "The H-Spot and Pond zones are new discoveries of porphyry-style copper+/-gold+/-silver mineralization and associated alteration. They are located at the head of the valley north of the Deer Horn adit and 2.3 km west of Lindquist Peak in an area with no known exploration history."

Docherty noted that assay results from the latest work at Deer Horn will be released as soon as they're available. Samples collected from the porphyry target zones in 2012 produced results as high as 4240 ppm Cu and 6.6 g/t Ag.
