Interra Copper Corp. Announces Intensive and extensive KSpar / Biotite alteration and Native Copper Discovery Highlight the Gail Zone Sampling by Interra Copper

Interra Copper Corp. (CSE: IMCX) (OTCQB: IMIMF) (FRA: 3MX) (" Interra " or the " Company ") is pleased to announce completion of further ground geophysical and geochemical work at its 206 square kilometer Thane Property in North Central British Columbia.

Interra has conducted further geophysical and geochemical work supporting our thesis of a nearby copper porphyry system, with the geology demonstrating further relevant signatures and supporting mineralogy. Geological and core samples have now all been fully submitted to ALS, and we have begun to receive results from our summer program.

Grid establishment and soil sampling were completed at the Gail Zone. Four lines were established covering an historical copper/moly-in-soil anomaly identified in 1974 by Noranda Mining and Exploration Company, Limited ("Noranda").  This anomaly has historical soil samples of up to 2,100 ppm Cu and is on strike with the nearby Gail Showing (See Figures 1 and 2, below).

The following summary of historical results is taken from Dirom, Gavin, P.Eng, 1974, AR04599 Noranda. This report can be accessed through the following link:

The Gail Lake grid is 1400 feet (430m) long and 200 to 800 feet (60 - 240m) wide in an area of   limited soil development. Soil samples comprise a total of 44 collected at 100 foot intervals   averaged 733 ppm Cu, with a maximum of 2100 ppm. The samples also averaged 50 ppm Mo   (up to 75 ppm) in the southern half of the grid where the highest Cu values were collected.

Composites of rock (talus) chips were also collected along contours above the elevation of the soil   grid. Each sample represented a 60 m long transverse along the contour talus and comprised approximately 200 chips, each chip taken about 1 ft (0.3m) apart. Cu values averaged 520 ppm and up to a maximum of 710 ppm indicating anomalous values over the bulk of the area.   Mo values were not reported.  

Coarse-grained monzo-diorite is the main lithology with varying feldspar/mafic ratios and   heterogeneous textures. Fine-grained granitic or syenitic lithologies are present as small dykes.   Epidote is common in all rock types both as fine stringers or irregularly concentrated clots   indicating broad propylitic alteration. Intense potassic alteration is indicated by salmon red   coloration of the granitoids and also by complete biotitization and/or chloritization of the mafic    hornblende crystals.

Pyrite, chalcopyrite, molybdenite, bornite mineralization occur as irregularly distributed blebs   and smears in veins and fractures and as sporadic disseminated mineralization adjacent to   them.

In addition, Interra has discovered supergene native copper in relation to this system. Figure 3 below is a recent sample of native copper at Gail.

Positive prospecting along with our expected results from the Gail zone make this target a high priority for our 2022 summer program.

Jason Nickel, Interra CEO States; "Our Thane property has continued to produce the positive geological results we have come to expect after 9 years of investment in the project. The identification of 5 solid bulk-tonnage copper gold targets is a result of our own work and the work of number of accomplished junior and senior mining exploration companies. We are pleased to have completed further work on our Gail zone which has now become a top priority for next stage of drilling and exploration towards realizing value from this significant potential."

Lawrence Lepard: "Big Print" Coming — Fully Expect US$5,000 Gold, US$200,000 Bitcoin

Speaking to the Investing News Network, Lawrence Lepard, managing director at EMA, voiced his thoughts on the outlook for gold and Bitcoin as the debt doom loop intensifies in the US.

"I call it a doom loop — it's a vicious circle in the wrong direction, which I believe will ultimately lead to the government having to say, 'Okay, this isn't going to work. We are going to institute yield curve control or QE, or we're going to buy the bonds,'" he explained on the sidelines of the New Orleans Investment Conference.

Lepard believes it's important to hold both gold and Bitcoin, noting that the only wrong allocation is zero.

Chris Temple: Gold's Next Leg Higher, Plus Uranium and Natural Gas in 2025

Chris Temple, founder, editor and publisher of the National Investor, outlined the main factors he sees impacting the gold price heading into 2025, saying the yellow metal will undoubtedly move higher.

In his view, its rise will come as market participants realize how many problems the US economy is facing.

"I think that once that reality sets in, gold will get its next big lease on life and the stock market is going to bog down. I think we're going to see a lot of rotation in the market that will start to favor real assets and real value — away from everybody chasing the same relative handful of stocks as we've seen," Temple explained.

WGC: Gold to Face Complex Drivers in 2025, Price Likely to Cool After Record-Breaking Year

The World Gold Council (WGC) has released its 2025 gold outlook, highlighting various macroeconomic factors, geopolitical risks and central bank activity as pivotal forces influencing demand and prices.

While 2024 saw gold achieve a stellar performance with a 28 percent annual increase, the outlook for 2025 is characterized by a mix of opportunities and challenges stemming from both global and regional developments.

The yellow metal has benefited from its historical role as a hedge against uncertainty, but the WGC forecasts that its performance next year will depend on other key variables as well.

Increased M&A Activity a Win-Win for Gold Sector, Brightstar Resources Exec Says

Following the completion of its acquisition of Alto Metals, Brightstar Resources (ASX:BTR) plans to conduct 50,000 metres of reverse-circulation and diamond drilling, beginning next year, at Alto Metals' approximately 900 square kilometre Sandstone gold project in Western Australia.

In an interview with the Investing News Network, Brightstar Managing Director Alex Rovira outlined the next steps for merging Alto Metals with Brightstar’s assets and the strategy for moving forward.

“From an exploration perspective … it's really focusing on the Sandstone package. We will do near-mine brownfields exploration at our Menzies and Laverton gold projects. And really, the aspiration there is to take a number of those mines toward development decisions,” he said.
