GSP Resource Enters into Agreement to Acquire an Additional 185 ha of Claims Adjacent to the Highland Valley Copper Mine

16.04.2024  |  The Newswire
- Historic exploration work discovered shallow copper mineralization

- Historic shallow drilling included 30m averaging 0.53% Cu and 21 m averaging 0.51% Cu

- High priority for follow up exploration during upcoming field season


GSP Resource Corp. (TSX-V: GSPR / FSE: 0YD) (the "Company" or "GSP") announces that it has entered into an arm's length acquisition agreement with Dylan Adam (the "Agreement") to acquire a 100% interest in the Mer Claims in the Highland Valley Copper Camp of British Columbia. The two Mer claims are comprised of 185 hectares in the Kamloops Mining Division. The claims are situated approximately 1.5km NW of GSP's Alwin Mine Project and are surrounded by Teck Resource's Highland Valley Copper claim group directly west and south of the Highland Valley Copper Mine's active operations1 (see Figure 1 below).

Terms of the acquisition for 100% of the Mer claims are a $10,000 cash payment and the issuance of 100,000 commons shares of GSP within 10 days of TSXV Exchange acceptance of the Agreement. The seller of the claims will retain a 1.0% Net Smelter Return ("NSR") Royalty with a buyback option for the Company of C$500,000. All GSP common shares issued pursuant to the Agreement will be subject to a hold period of four months and one day from the closing date.

The Mer Claims host a copper exploration target zone located NW of the Company's Alwin Mine High grade copper-silver-gold target zone.

Simon Dyakowski, President & CEO of GSP Resource commented: "We are very pleased to enter into this agreement to acquire the only remaining ground within the Highland Valley Copper camp near our flagship Alwin Mine High Grader Copper-Silver-Gold project. The Mer claims are underexplored having seen limited drilling in the 1960's and 1970's discovering shallow copper mineralization. Over the coming weeks, we look forward to integrating the Mer claim group into our Alwin Mine Copper Project 2024 field season exploration plans."

About the Mer Claims:

The Mer Claims were the subject of intensive exploration by the Cleveland Ming & Smelting Co. Ltd. between the years 1965 and 1971. During that time exploration within the current Mer and surrounding claims now held by Teck Highland Valley Copper Corporation comprised geochemical and IP/resistivity geophysical surveys, geologic mapping, bulldozer trenching, completion of 16 percussion drill holes totaling 610 metres (m), and a single 150 m diamond drill hole targeting the Mer showing.

Percussion and diamond drilling were reported to define a 70 x 120 metre northeast trending porphyry copper-molybdenum zone characterized by disseminated chalcocite, chalcopyrite, bornite and molybdenite mineralization and associated biotite and sparse potassic alteration.

At the Mer showing, percussion drill holes 1, 3, 15, and 16, forming a 70 x 40 m diamond pattern in plan returned values of 9 m averaging 0.47% copper (Cu); 30 m averaging 0.53% Cu; 15 m averaging 0.50% Cu; and 21 m averaging 0.51% Cu2 respectively, commencing at downhole depths ranging from 6 to 18 m.

A single diamond drill hole was centered on the percussion drill holes and intersected a zone of chalcocite mineralization within biotite and potassic altered granodiorite intrusive rocks averaging 0.29% Cu over 24 m from a downhole depth of 9 m. The zone of mineralization remains open to the north and west.

No significant exploration has been reported within this project since the initial work programs ending in the early 1970's. Given the presence of drill confirmed porphyry copper-molybdenum mineralization, a location 6 kilometers west of the Valley Pit at Teck Resource Limited's Highland Valley Copper Operations, and its position with the Chataway and Guichon granodiorite phases of the Guichon Batholith the Mer Project is a high priority for follow up exploration.
