Pecoy Copper Extends Mineralization 407 Meters Below Resource Pit Shell
Event summary
- Pecoy Copper's drill hole PEC-25-065 intersected 1,014 meters of 0.37% Cu and 0.13 g/t Au, extending mineralization 407 meters below the current resource pit shell.
- The hole confirmed the scale and vertical continuity of the South Breccia system, with higher-grade sections including 301 meters at 0.53% Cu.
- Phase 1 drilling has completed 3,000 meters, with additional holes targeting the Center of the Pit and Central Breccia areas.
- The Pecoy Project hosts an inferred resource of 865 million tonnes at 0.34% Cu, with associated gold, molybdenum, and silver credits.
The big picture
Pecoy Copper's latest drill results reinforce the potential of the Pecoy Project as a large, undeveloped porphyry system in a prolific copper belt. The extension of mineralization below the current resource pit shell highlights the exploration upside and positions the project for further resource definition. The strategic location near infrastructure corridors and deep-water ports enhances its development prospects in one of the world's most established mining jurisdictions.
