Copper North Mining Begins Drilling at Carmacks Project, Yukon

Copper North Mining Corp. (TSXV:COL) reported that drilling has begun at the Carmacks Project in the Yukon. The focus of the 1st phase of drilling will be on the 2000S zone that forms part of the Gap South target area immediately south of the proposed open pit area, while the 2nd phase will focus on two target areas within the Gap North area immediately north of Zone 1.
As quoted in the press release:

The first phase of drilling will focus on the 2000S zone that forms part of the Gap South target area immediately south of the proposed open pit area (see June 9, 2015 news release). Previous drilling has defined a near surface oxide and sulphide mineral zone. Approximately eight short drill holes are planned to fill in around previous drill holes, to facilitate estimate of the mineral resource in 2000S zone.
The second phase of drilling will focus on two target areas within the Gap North area immediately north of Zone 1, the proposed open pit. The Gap North area has extensive overburden and valley fill materials. The drill holes will test geophysical anomalies flanking the valley fill.
The third phase of drilling will focus on in-fill drilling in zones 12 and 13. Zone 12 and 13 define a mineralized zone in a northwest trending structural zone, extending approximately 1,500 metres in length. Previous drilling defined two near surface zones of oxide and sulphide mineralization. Oxide mineralization extends to up to approximately 70 metres depth before transitioning to sulphide mineralization. The planned fill-in drilling in zones 12 and 13 will define both oxide and sulphide near-surface mineralization and provide sufficient assay information to determine mineral resources in selected parts of these two zones.

Copper North Mining President and CEO, Dr. Harlan Meade, said:

We are confident that this year’s planned $900,000 exploration program will follow the successful 2014 program and expand oxide mineral resources at our Carmacks Project, and that these resources can be added into the development plan.
