Bolo Gold-Silver Project 2022 Exploration Program Commences


VANCOUVER - CopAur Minerals Inc. reported that the 2022 exploration program has commenced at the Bolo gold-silver project. Bolo is located in the Hot Creek Range of Nye County, Nevada; Phase 1 of the 2022 Bolo Gold-Silver Project exploration will comprise surface prospecting and grid rock chip geochemical sampling, targeting the northern extensions of the known gold bearing Mine Fault and East Fault structures; including potential new drill targets within the prospective Windfall Formation unit. In total approximately 600 samples will be collected, designed to infill, and extend historical rock chip coverage 1 km north-south and 300 m east-west along two parallel proven gold mineralized fault structures.

Jeremy Yaseniuk, CEO, commented, "We are excited to begin the summer exploration program at Bolo with an eye on developing new, untested targets to the north and northeast. Our systematic approach to exploration at Bolo, incorporating the surface rock sampling and the recently completed IP/resistivity geophysics, is expected to yield high-quality drill targets for the upcoming core and RC drilling program."

The results of the rock sampling will be used to refine existing targets and identify new targets along the Bolo mineralized fault trends. Up to 4,000 meters of RC and core drilling is planned for 2022, including expansion drilling at the South Mine Fault Zone (1,000 m), as well as exploration drilling at the East Fault Windfall target and potential new targets generated by the surface work (3,000 m).

The Company also reports that it is in receipt of final assay results from the 2021/2022 Bolo drilling at the South Mine Fault zone. Two core drill holes were completed, totaling 710 m. BL21-01 was drilled west at an azimuth of 274° and -44° dip; BL22-01 was drilled west at an azimuth of 270° and -52° dip. No significant gold values were returned; however, zones of mineralized, oxidized, decalcified, silicified, and brecciated Windfall Formation were intersected, coincident with pathfinder (As ± Ba ± Sb) geochemical anomalies that indicate persistence of the mineralizing system at depth. Structural data collected from oriented core measurements provided valuable data that be used in the development of a 3D geological model for the South Mine Fault.
