PNG Copper Inc. Update
Timmins, Ontario (November 26, 2021) – PNG Copper Inc. (CSE: PNGC ) (the “Company”) has filed its
financial statements and MD&A for the quarter and nine months ending September 30,2021.
During the quarter, drill hole WAKD001 was commenced at the Waki prospect, immediately east of the Omu
prospect, to test a significant copper result obtained during mapping and sampling and to explore at depth an
interpreted magnetic anomaly. The target depth of the hole was 250 meters.
The hole encountered difficult, highly fractured and broken ground conditions during most of its length and drilling
was abandoned at 96 meters in mid September.It is thought by the on-site geologists that the hole likely drilled
through an unmapped fault zone.
All fieldwork on the project was put on hold on September 29,2021 by the incoming interim CEO David Lindley,
pending a review of the exploration program. Damage to the Company’s CS100 P4 drill, sustained during the
recent drilling of the hole at the Waki prospect, is currently being assessed. Field staff were demobilized from
site, leaving a small crew to look after the Company’s equipment.
A short program of drilling of the Doriri nickel-palladium-platinum prospect on the property has been
recommended by the Interim CEO and approved by the Company’s Board of Directors and is targeted to
commence and be completed in Q1,2022 with an estimated cost of approximately $165,000.The proposed
program is the completion of four cored drill holes for a total of 235 metres.The proposed round of drilling will
expand upon ten mineralized costean and four mineralized intersections from four drill holes obtained from
exploration of the prospect between 2007 and 2012.
The Company has also entered into an agreement with a current Director of the Company, pursuant to which he
has agreed to fund certain exploration related expenses of the Company in PNG post September 28, 2021,
including the proposed Doriri drill program. The Company has agreed to reimburse these expenses and has the
option to do so by the issuance of common shares and warrants in lieu of cash.
In addition, the Company has reached an agreement to amend the existing Option Agreement relating to the
property to provide that the cash payments of A$150,000 payable by the Company in March 2022 and March of
2023 may be satisfied by the issuance of shares in lieu of cash. In addition the date by which 3000 meters are
to be drilled to exercise the Stage 1 option under the Option Agreement has been extended from August 2022
to August 2023.The Company believes these changes will materially assist the Company in pursuing its
opportunities under the Option Agreement.
