Further Large-Scale IOCG Targets At Jukes And Hydes
VANCOUVER - CopperCorp Resources Inc. reported on the Razorback Copper-Gold-REE property in western Tasmania, Australia. New 3D inversion modelling of magnetic and gravity data indicates highly prospective coincident magnetic pipe and gravity features at the Jukes and Hydes target zones characteristic of IOCG deposits and with similarities to the Mt Lyell Cu-Au system (3Mt contained copper at 1% Cu, and 3Moz contained gold at 0.3g/t Au) located along trend immediately to the north. The position of these magnetic and gravity features directly adjacent to large fertile fault structures, and outcropping magnetite and copper-gold mineralization in both areas is considered highly prospective. Drilling access track construction scheduled to commence at Jukes.
Stephen Swatton, President and CEO, said, "This is 'game changing' news in terms of our understanding of the potential of the entire Razorback property. The regional geophysical interpretation that the team have been working on with consultants clearly shows strong analogies between our Razorback license with the world class Mt Lyell copper district 20km along strike to the north.
The spring / summer fieldwork season has just commenced in Tasmania and the Company plans to release regular updates of the progress. We will also be releasing details of our anticipated copper-gold drill program at Jukes soon with the expectation that with further refining of the geophysics and integration of Jukes data, drill targets at Hydes will be announced before year end. The permission for drilling at Jukes is already confirmed and we anticipate future drill permits will again be issued in a matter of weeks rather than months upon application due to the current pro-resource sentiment at the Tasmanian State level."
New data processing and 3D inversion modelling of magnetic and gravity data shows vertically extensive pipe-like magnetic features with coincident to off-set residual gravity anomalies at both the Jukes and Hydes target zone areas. The position of these magnetic and gravity features directly adjacent to large NW-trending faults in both areas is considered highly prospective for structurally controlled mineralized pipes typical of the Mt Lyell system where anomalous gravity features occur associated with the larger mineralized pipe bodies that have depth extensive chlorite-magnetite-apatite-biotite alteration zones.
