Universal Copper Continues To Advance Poplar Project

VANCOUVER - Universal Copper Ltd. reported on the 2021 exploration season at the Poplar Copper Project, located 88 KM southwest of Houston, B.C.

The Company has been active at Poplar during 2021, completing a 6-hole 3,000 meter drill program and a mineral resource estimate update at the Poplar deposit, completing a thorough review of the historic exploration data outside of the Poplar deposit itself, and completing two acquisitions to bring the total size of the property to 61,600 hectares.

Clive Massey, CEO and President, said, “We completed a very busy and very successful year at Poplar, as we eagerly await assay results from the 2021 program. We increased the size of the Poplar mineral resource estimate and identified 9 high priority targets across the property. We envision an even busier 2022, where we plan to engage some porphyry expertise, plan to significantly expand the drill program, and plan to commence exploration of some of the priority targets throughout the property. The global copper demand is expected to keep rising due to copper’s indispensable role in modern technologies, including electric vehicles, mobile phones, electronics, and computer hardware. This continually rising demand will continue to drive copper prices higher.”
