Cascadia Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: CAM) has announced results from its 2023 phase one exploration programme at its Catch copper gold project in Yukon, Canada. The results come from a wide range of tools including prospecting, induced polarization (IP), Z-Axis Tipper Electromagnetic (ZTEM) and aeromagnetic survey results which support launching a diamond drilling programme on the property this coming August.
With these results came the highest copper and gold grades on the Catch project to-date, including 3.88% Cu with 30.00g/t Au in an outcrop 180m north of the 2022 Diorite zone discovery. Outcrop chip sampling at the Diorite zone returned 12m of 0.31% copper with 0.17g/t Au.
“We continue to be very impressed with our exploration success at the Catch project,” stated Cascadia’s president and CEO, Graham Downs.
“Our team continues to make new prospecting discoveries across the recently expanded property, with much of it still awaiting systematic evaluation. We’ve already defined two drill-ready targets and are eager to get the diamond drilling underway.”
Other highlights included chip sampling at a new discovery 500m south of the Diorite zone returned 6m of 0.12% Cu with 0.48g/t Au, and prospecting between the Main and Diorite zones identified a new hydrothermal breccia with results including 0.21% Cu with 4.82g/t Au. IP surveys at the Diorite Zone also returned a 1,000 x 500 x 300m chargeability high immediately below high-grade surface samples.
Mineralized rock and soil samples in the Main Zone are coincident with a well-developed IP chargeability anomaly extending to more than 300m in depth. This summer’s maiden drill programme includes up to 2,500m of drilling on the Main and Diorite zones starting in early August. Exploration is also underway at the company’s Rosy Property in Yukon and will be initiated shortly at the PIL Property in British Columbia.
