Welcome to our dedicated page for GRANITE CREEK COPPER news (Ticker: GCXXF), a resource for investors and traders seeking the latest updates and insights on GRANITE CREEK COPPER stock.
Granite Creek Copper Ltd. (GCXXF) is a Canadian exploration company focused on critical minerals projects in North America. Their flagship Carmacks project in Yukon's Minto copper district is known for high-grade copper-gold-silver mineralization. Recent metallurgical studies show an increase in copper recovery from oxide material, enhancing the project's economic value. The company's 2023 PEA identified opportunities for improved recovery, resource expansion, and process optimization. With a significant increase in oxide recovery potential, Granite Creek aims to leverage these results to enhance shareholder value.
Granite Creek Copper (TSX.V:GCX)(OTCQB:GCXXF) has announced two significant acquisitions in Alaska: the Union Bay PGM-Ni project and a Letter of Intent to acquire the Duke Island Cu-Ni-PGE project. Both projects show critical minerals mineralization and potential for carbon sequestration and geologic hydrogen production. The company will collaborate with Cornell University, led by Dr. Greeshma Gadikota, under a US Department of Energy ARPA-E grant to study geologic hydrogen. Additionally, the company has hired Greg Lynch P.Geo. to assist in identifying further acquisitions with geologic hydrogen potential.
Granite Creek Copper (TSXV:GCX)(OTCQB:GCXXF) has completed work at its Star project in British Columbia, Canada, focusing on rock and soil sampling in an area prospective for Ni-Cu-PGM mineralization. The company is collaborating with New England Research Inc. (NER) to study the potential for geologic hydrogen (Geo H2) production at the site.
NER is leading a $1.5 million project funded by the U.S. Department of Energy to develop technologies for subsurface hydrogen production. Granite Creek's samples will be used for laboratory analysis to optimize engineered stimulation of subsurface hydrogen. This collaboration aims to explore the potential of Alaskan-type ultramafic intrusions for producing economic amounts of clean, sustainable hydrogen.
While pursuing this new opportunity in Geo H2, Granite Creek remains focused on its high-grade Carmacks copper-gold project in Yukon, Canada, where assays from 2024 drilling are pending.
Granite Creek Copper (TSX.V:GCX)(OTCQB:GCXXF) has announced the discovery of a new mineralized zone, dubbed the Gap Zone, at its Carmacks copper-gold-silver project in Yukon, Canada. The discovery resulted from a 1420-metre drill program consisting of four holes. The Gap Zone, located between the proposed 147 and 2000S pits, was traced for approximately 170 meters and remains open along strike and at depth.
The company believes this discovery has the potential to add significant tonnage and extend the mine life outlined in the 2023 Preliminary Economic Assessment. The Carmacks project currently contains over 824 Mlbs Measured and Indicated and 29 Mlbs Inferred copper equivalent within a high-grade resource of 36.2 million tonnes grading 1.07% CuEq. Additionally, Granite Creek has issued 750,000 shares to the vendors of the LS molybdenum project as part of an earn-in agreement.
Granite Creek Copper (TSX.V:GCX)(OTCQB:GCXXF) has launched its 2024 drill campaign at the Carmacks copper-gold-silver project in Yukon, Canada. The program includes 1,800 meters of core drilling targeting new areas adjacent to existing high-grade, pit-constrained resources. Key focus areas include the Gap, Sourtoe, and Zone 4 targets. The Gap Target, lying between 147 and 2000 S zones, shows promising geophysical results with an Induced Polarization (IP) response nearly double that of the 147 Zone.
The Carmacks Project contains 824 Mlbs Measured and Indicated and 29 Mlbs Inferred copper equivalent within a high-grade resource of 36.2 million tonnes grading 1.07% CuEq. Recent work at Kemetco Research demonstrated improved recoveries, aligning with the 2022 Preliminary Economic Assessment's recommendations for increasing the project's Net Present Value (NPV).
Granite Creek Copper announces its 2024 exploration program for the Carmacks copper-gold project in Yukon, Canada. The 2024 field program involves up to 1800 meters of diamond drilling focused on new targets, including the Gap, Sour Toe, and Zone 1213 targets, refined by IP surveys, trenching, and soil sampling. The project spans 177 sq km and contains 824 Mlbs Measured and Indicated and 29 Mlbs Inferred copper equivalent metal. Additionally, the company seeks to extend the expiry date of certain warrants and has granted 1.29 million stock options to its team.
