Surge Copper Corp. (SRGXF) has announced significant drilling results from its Ootsa Project, highlighting the expansion of copper-gold mineralization. The key findings include:
Hole S24-337 intersected 108 metres grading 0.35% CuEq (0.25% Cu, 0.16 g/t Au, 2.7 g/t Ag) from 24 metres depth, within a longer interval of 280 metres grading 0.27% CuEq. The deeper portion revealed multiple intervals of breccia-style mineralization with higher grades, including 10 metres grading 0.55% CuEq.
The drilling program, consisting of 2 holes totaling 897 metres, was conducted at the Cu-Au Target located 300 metres northeast of the East Seel deposit. While hole S24-336 did not extend the zone northward, hole S24-337 successfully expanded the zone to depth, with the exploration target remaining open to the east and west.
