CopAur Plans Integrated Exploration Data Analysis And Machine Learning Exploration Targeting Study At Kinsley Mountain
CopAur Plans Integrated Exploration Data Analysis And Machine
Learning Exploration Targeting Study
At Kinsley Mountain
News Release - Vancouver, British Columbia – January 12, 2024: CopAur Minerals Inc. (“CopAur”
or the “ Company”) (TSX-V: CPAU) ( OTCQX:COPAF) is pleased to announce plans to initiate an
integrated exploratory data analysis (EDA) and advanced machine learning study at the
Company’s flagship Kinsley Mountain Gold Project (the “Kinsley Mountain Project” or “Kinsley
Mountain”) in Elko County, Nevada.
Based on exceptionally high grade sulphide and near surface oxide drill intercepts, including 20.3
metres averaging 12.6 grams -per-tonne (g/t) gold (Au) 1, and 26 metres averaging 2.22 g/t Au 2
returned from its successful 10 hole, 2,287 metre 2023 Kinsley Mountain exploration campaign
(Table 1), the Company plans to leverage its expansive exploration dataset comprising over
160,000 metres of drilling (Figure 1), in addition to a detailed 3D stratigraphic model, property
wide soil and rock geochemistry, airborne and ground geophysical surveys (including ground
IP/resistivity, gravity, and airborne VTEM/magnetics) to prepare an integrated exploratory data
analysis (EDA) study.
The purposed of the EDA study is to advance the understanding of the Kinsley Mountain Project’s
mineralization that will increase the efficiency and robustness of future exploration, targeting,
resource definition, and development work. Following the EDA study, the combined exploration
datasets will be subject to advanced machine learning algorithms to understand the complex
multi-dimensional relationships between the data types leading to the generation of
prospectivity models to drive discovery. The Company expect to initiate the study in early 2024,
leading to results before end of Q2 2024.

CEO Jeremy Yaseniuk stated, “CopAur is poised to integrate cutting-edge AI technology within
our exploration strategy at K insley Mountain. With an extensive dataset encompassing over
160,000 meters of drilling, we are committed to conducting a comprehensive Exploratory Data
Analysis (EDA) coupled with sophisticated machine learning techniques. Our objective is to
develop refined prospectivi ty models, enhancing our capacity to uncover new mineral deposits.
Drawing inspiration from the successful application of this technology by our associated group of
companies through the Metals Group , including Emperor Metals Inc. EMP.V, Thesis Gold Inc.
TAU.V and Founders Metals Inc, FDR.V , we are confident that the implementation of AI will
significantly augment our exploration endeavors at CopAur.”
