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."

Top 5 Australian Mining Stocks This Week: Yandal Shares Double on Arrakis Drilling Results

Welcome to the Investing News Network's weekly round-up of Australia’s top-performing mining stocks on the ASX, starting with news in Australia's resource sector.

This week's top-performing stocks list is dominated by oil and gas companies, alongside gold and lithium companies.

In Australian mining news, the Fair Work Commission ruled that BHP (ASX:BHP,NYSE:BHP,LSE:BHP) must raise the wages of 2,200 workers at three coal mines in Queensland. The workers in question were employed indirectly through a hiring firm and were being paid significantly less than their peers working directly under BHP.

The case was brought by two worker's unions and based on the Same Job, Same Pay reforms made by the government last year. To align wages, the FWC ruled BHP must raise the labour hire employees' wages by AU$30,000 each.

Pilbara 2.0: Inside Australia’s Newest Gold Frontier

The Central Pilbara region of Western Australia is undergoing a quiet revolution that is rapidly reshaping the global gold exploration landscape.

Once dismissed as a technically challenging and geologically inconsistent terrain, Pilbara is now emerging as one of the world’s most exciting new gold frontiers and drawing serious attention from institutional investors, driven by transformative discoveries, a maturing geological model and a wave of junior explorers tapping into underexplored intrusive-hosted systems.

Anchored by the multimillion-ounce Hemi discovery — one of the most significant gold finds in Australia in over a decade — this region is not just proving its geological potential, but also demonstrating the kind of scale, consistency and margin profile that modern gold investors seek. As the discovery window remains wide open and valuations are still accessible, the Central Pilbara presents a rare opportunity for early exposure to what may become one of Australia’s next tier-one gold districts.
