Decade Announces Copper Assays from
Drilling on near Surface Shallow Copper-Silver
Mineralization at the Nobody Knows Copper
Project, Terrace BC. Intersect 8.08 M of 2.26%
Copper. Plans 2024 Drill Program at the
Project
Stewart, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 25, 2024) - Decade Resources Ltd (TSXV" DEC)
("Decade") reports that it has received the assays from the recent drill program at the Nobody Knows No
1 and Nobody Knows No 2 zones at the Copper River project. The project is part of a large claim holding
consisting of 52 contiguous minerals claims which include Nobody Knows, Dardanelle (presently farmed
out) and Treasure Mountain properties totaling 23,016.7 hectares. All 52 mineral claims are 100%
owned by Decade Resources Ltd. The project stretches from 10 to 40 air kilometers east of Terrace,
B.C., on the northern slopes of the Copper River valley. Highlights of the program include:
4410 m of drilling was
completed in 33 drill holes.
The discovery drill holes show similarities to many of the world's major sediment-hosted
copper systems with the association of silver with copper.
The dacitic and syenitic rocks hosting the copper mineralization present have been
sheared with abundant ground up copper mineralization (bornite and chalcocite) in the
fault gouge.
7.19 % Cu equivalent (6.75 % Cu and 50.3 g/t Ag) intersected over 0.76 m in DDH-NB-23-1.
6.73 % Cu equivalent (5.39 % Cu and 155 g/t Ag) intersected over 2.13 m in DDH-NB-23-2.
3.23 % Cu equivalent (2.99 % Cu and 27.3 g/t Ag) intersected over 2.94 m in DDH-NB-23-
12.
2.18 % Cu equivalent (2.05 % Cu and 15 g/t Ag) intersected over 5.74 m in DDH-NB-23-16.
The Company tested approximately 200 m of the zone. Drilling was restricted to the
presently logged areas and the Company has applied for disturbance permits for
forested areas along strike to the Nobody Knows # 2 zone.
For the purposes of
conducting a 2024 drill program at the Copper River project, the details are currently
being planned and finalized.
Mineralization is dominated by bornite, chalcocite and malachite with lesser covellite and chalcopyrite
and little to no pyrite. These sulphides constitute from trace to 5% of the rock forming grains, small blebs
and veinlets which show strong association with silicification and shearing. This type of mineralization
does not contain any appreciable gold but is enriched in silver fitting the model of a red bed type copper-
silver mineralized system.
Assays for the entire 33 drill holes are shown in the table below with assays .0.1 % Cu listed. DDH-23-
NB-1-22 inclusive and DDH-NB-23-31-33 inclusive are over the Nobody Knows # 2 showing. DDH-NB-
23-26 inclusive tested small copper showings along the West Copper River Forestry road and DDH-23-
NB-27-30 inclusive tested the Nobody Knows # 1 showing, 1.2 km east of the Nobody Knows 2 showing.
For the latter 2 drill areas, only drilling on the Nobody Knows # 1 showing intersected short intervals of
higher grade copper within chalcopyrite bearing limestone fragments in a highly epidote altered
andesite. For DDH-23-33 was terminated early due to freeze up conditions. Based on drilling, the
Nobody knows # 2 zone is not related to mineralization at the Nobody Knows # 1 zone as initially
interpreted. The strike zone from the Nobody Knows # 2 zone to the previous drilling at Treasure
Mountain is approximately 20 km east. The Company is currently
assessing targets on Treasure
Mountain to be included in the 2024 drill program.Assays for drilling are as follows:
