District Copper Provides Corporate Update
District Copper Corp. (TSXV: DCOP) has announced plans for an active field season at its Copper Keg project in summer 2025. The property, which now covers 6,628 ha across 23 mining claims, is located at the north end of the Guichon Creek batholith near Teck's Highland Valley Copper operations and is considered highly prospective for porphyry-style copper mineralization.
The planned 2025 field work includes expanding the previous airborne magnetometer/radiometric survey, adding 4 lines of Induced Polarization to 2021 coverage, conducting 3D inversion of all IP and airborne data, and detailed mapping focusing on structure, alteration and mineralization. The company aims to better understand the porphyry system for a future drill program.

- Property expansion of Copper Keg project to 6,628 ha across 23 mining claims
- Strategic location near Teck's Highland Valley Copper operations
- Comprehensive exploration program planned for 2025
- None.
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 11, 2025) - District Copper Corp. (TSXV: DCOP) ("District Copper", "District", or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on corporate activities. After adding to the property holdings on its flagship Copper Keg project, an active field season is planned for the summer of 2025.
The Copper Keg property covers approximately 6,628 ha in 23 mining claims and is considered to be highly prospective for the discovery of porphyry-style copper mineralization. The property is located at the north end of the Guichon Creek batholith which hosts Teck's Highland Valley Copper operations.
Planned field work for 2025 includes:
- Expansion of the previously completed airborne magnetometer/radiometric survey to cover the recently acquired claim blocks
- The addition of 4 lines of Induced Polarization, adding to the coverage from 2021
- 3D inversion of all of the IP and airborne data
- Detailed mapping focussing on structure, alteration and mineralization.
Jevin Werbes, President and CEO of District Copper, commented, "With commodity prices rapidly increasing and demand levels following suit, we are very excited to be getting back to work on the Copper Keg property and applying systematic exploration to further understand the porphyry system for a future drill program."
About the Copper Keg property
Historical exploration spans from the late 1800's to 2012. The early stage exploration is reported to consist of mining high grade copper veins.
The property exhibits the geochemical/alteration/lithologic features typical of the argillic altered portion of a porphyry copper system at/along the potassic/propylitic contact. The property is characterized by a large, pyrite bearing, argillic zone exposed along the surface trace of the Barnes Creek fault, a major NNW trending that crosses the Guichon Creek Batholith. The high-grade copper veins noted above, reflect supergene enrichment of distal base metal veins typically associated with a porphyry copper system.
The project is underlain by an intrusive phase of the Guichon Creek batholith which intrudes the surrounding Nicola Group rocks.
Petrographic work and K/Al: Na/Al ratios indicate an alteration package ranging from argillic-phyllic- potassic (all alteration phases associated with porphyry copper systems) supported by alteration minerals indicative of the inner actinolite subzone of a porphyry system as well as secondary biotite (Potassic alteration) and sericite (phyllic alteration), quartz veinlets with pyrite and chalcopyrite.
A large pyritic zone exhibits spatial association with the argillic altered zone and could be representative of what is commonly referred to in porphyry copper terms as the "pyrite shell". Chalcopyrite, bornite and malachite (secondary copper carbonate) have been observed in outcrop and support the presence of a porphyry system.
Two highly altered gossans have been identified along the interpreted trace of the Barnes Creek fault, a major structure within the Guichon Creek batholith. The first area (800m long by 200m wide); the second area is 600 m south and smaller in extent. These gossans exhibit erratic copper concentrations, weak copper-silver soil anomalies and copper mineralogy typical of a leach cap.
Since the Company acquired the property in 2021, it has completed mapping and prospecting, soil sampling, and ground and airborne geophysical programs. Results from this work are consistent with the presence of a leach cap to a porphyry system.
Soil sampling in 2024 encountered highly anomalous values located on the newly acquired northern claims. Of the 520 samples, 8 returned values >100 ppm Cu (102.0, 122.2, 126.7, 132.2, 134.8, 136.9, 269.1 and 1517.4). This area is underlain by the Guichon Batholith, which hosts known copper porphyry deposits in this region, in contact with Nicola volcanics.
