/CNW/ - QC Copper and Gold Inc. ("
QC Copper
" or the "
Company
")
(TSXV: QCCU) is pleased to announce that it has added a second drill rig to its drill program on the
Opemiska and Cooke-Robitaille projects. As of
February 21
, 18 holes have been completed, with a
total of
3,600m
drilled.
"We've been very pleased with the rate of production from our single drill and now expect to double
this rate that our second drill has arrived. Once all the assay results are received, we will
communicate with shareholders and input these results into our mineral resource estimate being
managed by our Independent Qualified Persons. The Company is fully funded for this work, and we
look forward to delivering positive news for our shareholders," said
Charles Beaudry
, VP
Exploration, Director of the Company and Qualified Person according to NI43-101
This
20,000m
drill program will include 75 drill holes distributed between the Opemiska Project's
Springer and Perry mines to delineate a near-surface, in-pit mineral resource. Many of the planned
holes are twins of old surface collared mine holes, confirm the historical mine assays, and provide
infill sampling because of limited historical sampling due to the mine's focus on high-grade veins.
The Company is operating its drill program with strict protocols to prevent any outbreaks to ensure
our staff's safety and the communities that surround our project. To this end, all our personnel are
being tested for Covid-19 before travelling to the project.
