White Cliff drilling doubles Danvers copper strike

• White Cliff’s drilling spree doubles mineralised strike at Danvers copper project to 830m
• New previously untested structure found parallel and immediately adjacent to Danvers
• Multiple rigs operating across property with diamond drilling at Hulk and Stark prospects

Special Report: Regional drilling at White Cliff Minerals’ Danvers copper project in Nunavut, Canada, has extended known mineralisation and identified further sulphide mineralisation along strike.

Drilling more than doubled the strike of the main Danvers lode to 830m with hole DAN25013, which is 150m southwest of DAN25007, intersecting 65m of copper sulphides from a down-hole depth of 48m.

Meanwhile, drill holes 14 and 15 returned wide intersections with lower concentrations of copper sulphides that are interpreted to be proximal to but not intersecting the main lode.

White Cliff Minerals (ASX:WCN) adds that holes 16 and 17 intersected a new, previously unknown, parallel structure, immediately adjacent to Danvers, after returning 8m and 17m of sulphide mineralisation respectively.

What’s especially interesting is hole DAN25019m, which is about 4km from DAN25007, intersected 45m of copper sulphides from 12m.

This intercept is no fluke with hole DAN25018 that’s 400m to the southwest intersecting 14m of copper sulphides from surface.

“Step out drilling along the Teshierpi Fault Zone has now confirmed continuous copper and silver mineralization over a staggering 4km trend,” managing director Troy Whittaker said.

“The combination of wide intervals, high-grade visual sulphides and the extension of Danvers to now over 800m (still open in all directions) is very encouraging.

“With multiple rigs testing prospects throughout the licence areas, we are confident that drilling will tie the Danvers system into structures which represent a much larger regional copper play.”

Rae project

Danvers is part of the larger Rae project that contains numerous high grade copper mineralisation occurrences and hosts all first-order controls for a sediment-hosted copper deposit.

Rae has a historical, non-JORC resource of 4.16Mt at 2.96% copper.

For drilling to have extended the strike of mineralisation at Danvers is hugely positive given that world-class intersections were made earlier this year.

WCN is now carrying out diamond drilling at the Hulk and Stark prospects.
