True North Copper Updates Vero Copper-Silver Resource

True North Copper Limited (ASX: TNC) (TNC or the Company) is pleased to announce an update to the copper- silver Mineral Resource at Vero, part of its Mt Oxide Project in Queensland.


HIGHLIGHTS

  • True North’s updated Copper-Silver Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) for its 100%-owned Vero deposit, reported in accordance with the JORC 2012, contains 15.03Mt at 1.46% Cu & 10.59g/t Ag for a contained 220kt Cu & 5.13Moz Ag (Indicated and Inferred, refer to Table 1).
  • Vero’s updated Resource delivers a 20% increase in silver ounces, demonstrating the potential for Vero to deliver a significant sliver co-product in addition to copper.
  • Reassessing underground mine voids and introduction of improved geological deposit model has resulted in a minimal 3% decrease in copper metal tonnes, delivering further confidence in the resource integrity following 2023 confirmatory drilling.
  • TNC used revised geotechnical and metallurgical studies in the updated geological analysis for the MRE and will also inform possible mining options for the Vero deposit.
  • MIMDAS IP program at Mt Oxide is progressing well with the line at Camp Gossans complete. MIMDAS is now being acquired over the Vero deposit aiming to identify drill target for resource expansion at depth.

COMMENT

True North Copper’s CEO and MD Bevan Jones, said:

“We are pleased to deliver an update to Vero’s contained resources, particularly an increase in silver, a metal which is currently seeing a supply-demand imbalance though demand in solar and other technology applications. This updated Resource also provides greater confidence in the deposit, following TNC’s first program of confirmatory drilling and a substantially updated geological model, which incorporates historic resource depletion by previous mining.

“We see exploration upside within reach of shallow drilling at Ivena, north of the Resource, and along a 10km section of the Dorman fault where we are actively exploring for satellite zones of mineralisation with the MIMDAS crew onsite completing the line at Camp Gossans. The survey team are now moving to the north to acquire the line over the Vero Deposits with the aim to identify drill targets at depth below the current resource.

We look forward to providing an update on our progress on these Mt Oxide exploration activities over the coming months.”

Low-impact, High-reward ISR Copper Extraction Gains Investment Momentum

In the delicate balancing act between meeting the rising global demand for critical minerals and ensuring environmental responsibility in resource extraction, processes and technologies that can achieve both aims are winning in the eyes of junior explorers and investors.

In copper mining, in-situ recovery (ISR) is emerging as a cost-efficient and lower-impact alternative to open-pit and underground mining. ISR is a mining method that extracts copper directly from orebodies without traditional excavation. Projects that are amenable to the ISR process, which involves injecting a leaching solution into the ground and recovering dissolved copper through wells, are attracting growing interest from miners and investors alike.

This shift comes as the global push for electrification accelerates copper demand across industries — from electric vehicles and solar power to grid expansion and data infrastructure. Traditional copper mines, often burdened by rising costs, deeper orebodies and environmental opposition, are struggling to meet this demand.
