Copper Quest Launches Large-Scale Geophysical Survey to Expand Stars Copper-Molybdenum Project

Event summary

  • Copper Quest has commenced a 32.4 km² induced polarization (IP) geophysical survey on its Stars Property in British Columbia.
  • The survey aims to map the full extent of a 5 x 2.5 km magnetic anomaly, potentially identifying new drill targets beyond the current Tana Zone.
  • The Stars Property covers 9,693 hectares and hosts a porphyry copper-molybdenum system with significant drill intersections, including 0.466% Cu over 195.07 m.
  • The survey represents the first comprehensive application of IP geophysics across the entire property.

The big picture

Copper Quest's large-scale IP survey is a strategic move to unlock the full potential of its Stars Property, situated in a top-tier mining district. The survey comes amid growing global demand for copper driven by electrification, renewable energy systems, and infrastructure development. The Bulkley Porphyry Belt, where the Stars Property is located, is known for its significant copper-molybdenum deposits, making this exploration program a critical step in assessing the property's long-term viability.
