Positive Copper Porphyry Potential At Zeus Project In Hercules Copper Trend
VANCOUVER -- NevGold Corp. has identified significant copper porphyry potential after completing a geological review and 3-D model of the newly staked Zeus Copper Project in southwestern Idaho. The Company’s geological review included detailed assessments of historical records, compilations and reinterpretation of numerous published geological maps, creation of a 3-D geological model, and analysis of rock chip samples collected by the NevGold Team while staking the mineral claims.
CEO, Brandon Bonifacio, said, “We are very pleased with how positive the results have been from our upfront geological work on the newly staked Zeus Copper Project. Due to our strong presence in Washington County, Idaho with our Nutmeg Mountain gold project, our team had a robust understanding of the regional geology which we were able to leverage in the identification of the Zeus Project as the next best copper porphyry target on the trend alongside the Hercules Project. Over the past 6 months we have also spent a significant amount of time in the field with our technical team. Instead of utilizing external land staking crews, our core NevGold team completed the staking process which also allowed us to advance surface geology work including reconnaissance mapping and rock chip sampling as we were in the field staking claims. This has been a major advantage in being able to rapidly advance the project. All of the geological signatures that we encountered through our geological review and time in the field solidify our view that Zeus has excellent copper porphyry potential and is some of the most strategic ground in this emerging Hercules Copper Trend.”
