T2 Metals Completes Follow Up Sampling and Mapping at Copper Eagle Project, Nevada
T2 Metals Corp. (TSXV: TWO) (OTCQB: TWOSF) has completed an initial field sampling and mapping program at its 100% owned Copper Eagle copper-gold project in Nevada. The company collected rock chip samples from 14 pre-existing trenches and outcrops across a 1000 by 600 meter area. Samples showed strong breccia textures, quartz veins, and copper staining. Previous assays indicated a high sulfidation epithermal signature with elevated tellurium, selenium, antimony, copper, and gold. The presence of skarn minerals and magnetite suggests a potential porphyry copper setting. T2 Metals is optimistic about Copper Eagle's potential as a source for copper, gold, and silver, positioning the company to provide strategic materials for the United States.
T2 Metals Corp. (TSXV: TWO) (OTCQB: TWOSF) ha completato un programma iniziale di campionamento e mappatura sul campo nel suo progetto Copper Eagle, di rame e oro, in Nevada, di proprietà al 100%. L'azienda ha raccolto campioni di roccia da 14 trincee e affioramenti esistenti in una zona di 1000 metri per 600 metri. I campioni hanno mostrato texture di breccia forti, vene di quarzo e macchie di rame. I precedenti assaggi hanno indicato un elevato segnale epithermale di sulfidazione con tellurio, selenio, antimoni, rame e oro elevati. La presenza di minerali skarn e magnetite suggerisce un potenziale contesto di rame porfirico. T2 Metals è ottimista riguardo al potenziale di Copper Eagle come fonte di rame, oro e argento, posizionando l'azienda per fornire materiali strategici per gli Stati Uniti.

T2 Metals Corp. (TSXV: TWO) (OTCQB: TWOSF) a complété un programme initial d'échantillonnage et de cartographie sur le terrain dans son projet Copper Eagle cuivro-gold, entièrement détenu, au Nevada. La société a recueilli des échantillons de roche de 14 tranchées et affleurements existants sur une zone de 1000 mètres sur 600 mètres. Les échantillons ont montré de fortes textures de brèche, des veines de quartz et des taches de cuivre. Les analyses précédentes ont indiqué une forte signature épithermale de sulfidation avec un tellure, du sélénium, de l'antimoine, du cuivre et de l'or élevés. La présence de minéraux skarn et de magnétite suggère un potentiel environnement porphyrique en cuivre. T2 Metals est optimiste quant au potentiel de Copper Eagle en tant que source de cuivre, d'or et d'argent, positionnant l'entreprise pour fournir des matériaux stratégiques aux États-Unis.
T2 Metals Corp. (TSXV: TWO) (OTCQB: TWOSF) hat ein erstes Feldsampling- und Mapping-Programm in seinem zu 100% im Besitz befindlichen Copper Eagle Kupfer-Gold-Projekt in Nevada abgeschlossen. Das Unternehmen hat Gesteinsproben aus 14 bestehenden Gräben und Aufschlüssen in einem Gebiet von 1000 x 600 Metern gesammelt. Die Proben zeigten starke Brekzie-Texturen, Quarzadern und Kupferfärbungen. Frühere Analysen wiesen auf eine hohe Sulfidationsepitermal-Unterschrift mit erhöhtem Tellur, Selen, Antimon, Kupfer und Gold hin. Das Vorhandensein von Skarnmineralien und Magnetit deutet auf ein potenzielles Porphyry-Kupfer-Setting hin. T2 Metals ist optimistisch hinsichtlich des Potenzials von Copper Eagle als Quelle für Kupfer, Gold und Silber und positioniert das Unternehmen, um strategische Materialien für die Vereinigten Staaten bereitzustellen.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 18, 2024) - T2 Metals Corp. (TSXV: TWO) (OTCQB: TWOSF) (WKN: A2DR6E) ("T2" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the completion of an initial field sampling and mapping program at the Company's
T2 Metals geologists collected representative rock chip samples from 14 pre-existing trenches where bedrock was exposed, and from available outcrops across an area of approximately 1000 by 600 metres. Based on data from the Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology, the Company believes the trenches were dug by Smith Copper in the 1970's and partially rehabilitated. Porphyritic volcanic and metasedimentary rocks were sampled with strong breccia textures, quartz veins, vuggy vein texture and copper staining (see Figure 2).
Samples have been delivered to ALS Global in Reno for geochemical analysis and short-wave infrared spectral scanning to identify alteration minerals that may be associated with epithermal or porphyry style mineralization and support satellite multi-spectral imaging. Assay results from samples taken during a previous site visit (see press release April 11 2024), indicated a high sulfidation epithermal signature with elevated tellurium (Te), selenium (Se) and antimony (Sb) along with copper and gold.
In addition, mapping by T2 Metals geologists located skarn minerals and magnetite commonly associated with the contact metamorphic aureole that forms around igneous intrusions. The skarn and associated alteration may enable a cost-effective targeting method for the next phase of exploration at Copper Eagle.
Mark Saxon, President & CEO of T2 Metals Corp. commented; "We were encouraged by the assay results from the first field visit to Copper Eagle and by the observations our geologists made during this field program. The presence of skarn minerals strengthens our belief in Copper Eagle as a porphyry copper project and we look forward to continuing exploration to determine its potential as a source for copper, gold and silver. The United States needs more domestic sources of copper as well as other strategic materials and T2 Metals is well positioned to provide them with projects like Copper Eagle, Cora and Lida."
The Copper Eagle copper project is located in Douglas County, Nevada, approximately 21 km southeast of Carson City and 32 km WNW of Yerington. The nearby Yerington mining district is a prolific copper producing region and is host to several world class copper mines and deposits including Yerington (162 mt @
Copper Eagle lies within the Walker Lane Mineral Belt, in the vicinity of world class porphyry and skarn type copper projects. Exploration at Copper Eagle was last recorded over 50 years ago, when significant zones of oxidized copper mineralization were exposed by a consortium of owners (I. Smith, J. Smith and P. Gerken) beneath shallow alluvial cover.
Original exploration company records acquired by T2 Metals from the Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology show trenching at Copper Eagle discovered sulfide and oxide copper mineralization over an area of at least 500 m by 200 m (as reported by consulting geologist Majid Shokohi for Smith Copper, 1971).
Geological mapping by Smith Copper in 1971 indicates that copper mineralization is associated with altered, possible Tertiary age intrusions, consistent with a potential porphyry copper setting and analogous to other porphyry deposits in the northern part of the Walker Lane Mineral Belt. The mapping also identified propylitic, argillic and potassic alteration within granodiorite and monzonite intrusive rocks to the southeast of Copper Eagle along with regular copper occurrences (see press release dated December 13 2023).
