Drilling Progress At Hopper Porphyry Copper Project

VANCOUVER - CAVU Energy Metals Corp. reported on the exploration program on the Hopper porphyry copper project in Yukon. The Hopper Project is located in the traditional territory of the Champagne and Aishihik First Nations.

"The drilling program is off to a great start and we have an excellent crew in the field," said, Jaap Verbaas, CEO. "As part of the program, our VP Exploration, Dr. Luke Bickerton, re-assessed all unsampled historic core on site to further refine our porphyry targets. Several drill intercepts were observed with vein-controlled molybdenite and chalcopyrite that were not sampled, near both the northern and southern porphyry targets. The type of alteration and mineralization in these intercepts are consistent with proximal porphyry centers.

Two historic holes bottomed in previously unsampled mineralization. Most importantly, hole HOP15-05 bottomed in 50 m of propylitic alteration with intermittent chalcopyrite, which is believed to be continuous with the intercept in hole HOP21-DDH06 from our 2021 drill program. The unsampled historic core are early validation of our work on the southern porphyry target and will be assayed this summer. The intercepts strengthen our belief that the project hosts a large multi-target calc-alkalic porphyry system, which we look forward to drilling."
