Cascadia Minerals (TSXV: CAM) says the results from its 2023 exploration program at its Catch copper and gold project in the Yukon support launching a diamond drilling program on the property in August.
Prospecting on Catch returned the highest copper and gold grades on the project to-date, including 3.88% copper with 30.00 g/t gold in an outcrop 180 metres north of the 2022 Diorite zone discovery.
Outcrop chip sampling at the Diorite zone returned 12 metres of 0.31% copper with 0.17 g/t gold.
Chip sampling at a new discovery 500 metres south of the Diorite zone returned 6 metres of 0.12% copper with 0.48 g/t gold, and prospecting between the Main and Diorite zones identified a new hydrothermal breccia with results including 0.21% copper with 4.82 g/t gold.
Cascadia’s president and CEO Graham Downs said, “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.”
This summer’s maiden drill program includes up to 2,500 metres of drilling on the Main and Diorite zones.
In addition to drilling work at Catch, Cascadia is conducting exploration work at its PIL property in British Columbia, and the Rosy property in Yukon.
