Commencement Of Drilling At The Copper Creek Project

VANCOUVER - Paul Harbidge President and CEO of CopperBank Resources Corp., announced the commencement of drilling at the Copper Creek project, approximately 120 kilometers northeast of Tucson, Arizona. He said, “After a hiatus of a decade on Copper Creek, the new team is excited about starting our first drilling program to test both high-grade, near surface mineralization to advance the open pit concept, as well as deeper holes to test the underground bulk-mining opportunity."

In parallel with the drilling program, a geological model for the Copper Creek deposit is under development to support a new Mineral Resource Estimate, currently expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2022. The scope of work includes an audit of previous logging, relogging of select drill core, assaying of previous unsampled core, collection of hyperspectral data and the interpretation and integration of multiple technical datasets including lithology, petrography, geochemistry and geophysics.
