Cascadia Expands Carmacks Mineralization Beyond Resource Boundaries
Event summary
- Cascadia's latest drill results at the Carmacks project show mineralization extending 250 meters beyond existing resource boundaries in Zone 2000S.
- High-grade intercepts include 52.84 meters of 1.04% copper and 0.37 g/t gold (1.45% CuEq) in Hole CD-26-050 at Zone 2000S.
- Drilling suggests potential to connect Zone 2000S with Zone 147, closing a previously interpreted gap between mineralized areas.
- Total drilling for 2026 is planned at 15,000 meters, with 10,651 meters completed so far.
The big picture
Cascadia's successful step-out drilling at Carmacks demonstrates the potential to significantly expand the known mineralization, which could enhance the project's economic viability. This comes as copper markets remain volatile but with long-term demand drivers from electrification and infrastructure development. The strategic importance of expanding resources in a road-accessible project within a proven mineral belt cannot be overstated.
