Due to the core from the drillholes not being available, the company as the final step before mining commences, has started a drilling campaign to test the validity of the historic geological database.<\/p>\n<p>The company is pleased to announce that the results from the first 2 boreholes has confirmed the validity of the historical database in every aspect from geological rock type, type and quantity of mineralization and intersection widths and depths.<\/p>\n<p>The first 2 holes have made copper intersections of over 45m each just 30m below surface. Initial XRF analysis yielded copper values of between 5 and 7% Copper.<\/p>\n<p>Jan Nelson, CEO of Copper 360 commented; \u201cHaving copper orebodies of over 40m wide with continuous mineralization running over 3 to 5% Copper over the entire hole just 30m below surface is spectacular and have exceeded all our expectations. What is more, we have development less than 50m away from the mineralization with all underground infrastructure in terms of ore-passes etc. already in place. We are currently busy with plant construction and will provide the market with further project updates in the coming months. We continue our drilling program and will present these results on the day of listing aimed for the end of February\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mypr.co.za\/contact\/featured\/\">CLICK HERE to submit your press release to MyPR.co.za for free<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"post-views-icon dashicons dashicons-chart-bar\"><\/span> <span class=\"post-views-label\">Press Release Views since 1 July 2022:<\/span> <span class=\"post-views-count\">59<\/span> <\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-pagination pagination\">Pages: <span class=\"post-page-numbers current\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>1<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/copper-360-starts-drilling-campaign-to-confirm-historical-drill-database-before-mining-commences\/2\/\" class=\"post-page-numbers\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>2<\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\">Source: MyPR.co.za<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republish for Free Republish This Story Republish our articles for free, online or in print, under a Creative Commons license.
