White Cliff Minerals hits more high-grade copper in Canada

• Further assays at the Rae project in Canada confirm shallow, high-grade copper mineralisation
• A stunning 90m at 4% copper result was returned for hole DAN25005
• White Cliff is fully funded after raising $14.4m for drilling during 2025

Special Report: White Cliff Minerals has struck more high-grade copper at its Rae project in Nunavut, Canada, delivering another standout intercept from the Danvers prospect – an impressive 90m at 4% copper from surface.

Hole DAN25005 has delivered a series of impressive hits, including 18m at 6.5% copper and 11.4g/t silver from 26m, a high-grade core zone of 1.52m at 19.45% copper and 34.1g/t silver from 30m, and a further 14m at 7.7% copper and 16.2g/t silver from 61m.

White Cliff Minerals’ (ASX:WCN) aim for the hole, drilled towards the southeast and perpendicular to the strike of the copper-rich breccias, was to test the thickness of the mineralisation.

The company notes the latest assays confirm the continuation of high-grade mineralisation observed in hole DAN25003/004 to the southwest and DAN25001/002 to the northeast.

‘Dialled in’

“Danvers continues to just get better and better with each assay we receive,” WCN managing director Troy Whittaker said.

“Not only are these high-grade results, once again, from surface but we have now dialled in on high-grade zones.

“We look forward to the next set of results as well as returning shortly to continue to drill this mineralisation out as we step out along the NE-SW 9.5km faulted structure.”

An extensive high-grade core

Whittaker said the company is confident of a material maiden exploration target being delivered at Danvers following completion of the next round of drilling.

“We now know, as we had hoped, that Danvers has, what appears to be an extensive high-grade core which should add tremendously to overall economics,” he explained.

“This hole, like Hole 8, carries huge significance. Hole 8 was designed to test the depth of mineralisation with the last metre ending in 4% copper and Hole 5 designed to test the width.

“These two holes alone confirm significant continuity and grade across a large copper rich breccia vein that at a 3-4% average starts to put real substance into not just Danvers but all other vein hoisted breccias on our ground.”

Ongoing positive momentum

These latest results follow a string of positive developments for the company, including a strongly supported $14.4 million capital raise, cornerstoned by WCN’s strategic advisor John Hancock and his private family office Astrotricha Capital SEZC.

Funds from the placement will be used to ramp up exploration efforts at the Rae project with a combined RC and diamond drilling campaign, starting mid-July, as well as aerial and downhole geophysics.
