Kutcho Copper Corp. announced initial drill results from the Esso deposit at its 100% owned Kutcho high grade copper-zinc project located in British Columbia and enters into the mineral resource expansion drilling phase of the 2018 field program. Drill hole KC18-038-W1 returned 28m of 2.09% Cu, 6.1% Zn, 65.8 g/t Ag and 0.82 g/t Au or a CuEq of 5.7% including a 10.4m massive sulphide intersection of 3.80% Cu, 14.4% Zn, 134.6g/t Ag and 1.84g/t Au or a CuEq of 12%. In addition, drill hole KC18-227-W1 intersected massive to semi-massive sulphide mineralization that returned 1.17% Cu, 2.5% Zn, 45.7g/t Ag and 0.57g/t Au, or 3% CuEq over 3.2m. Cross sections of drill hole locations and mineralization are provided. Vince Sorace, President & CEO stated, "We have now moved into an exciting phase of the field program as the mineral resource expansion drilling at Kutcho is now in full swing and we anticipate releasing drill results frequently over the course of the next few months. The initial drill holes from Esso represent the unique high-grade opportunity achievable at the Kutcho project."
The comprehensive field program underway at Kutcho is designed to capture all necessary components to complete the Feasibility Study (FS) that is being led by Ausenco Engineering. Field work completed and ongoing to date consists of:
Hydrogeological drilling and well installation has been completed at both Main and Esso.
All geotechnical drill holes at the Esso deposit have been completed. Geotechnical drilling at the Main deposit is currently underway and is anticipated to be completed by the end of September.
Completion of the surface geotechnical program that consists of a combination of test pit and drill hole investigations for engineering of the site infrastructure and tailings management facility.
Metallurgical drilling at both the Esso and Main deposits is complete. Lab work to refine recoveries and mill process design will continue for the next 3 to 4 months.
Baseline environmental programs including water quality measurements, terrestrial and aquatic wildlife surveys, air quality measurements and meteorological data collection at both the regional and site-specific scales are 50% complete. Components of this comprehensive program will be continuously on-going throughout the 2018 and 2019.
Road engineering field studies have been completed along the proposed corridor to access the project from highway 37.
