Copper One Resources (CSE:CEXY) has begun detailed analysis of drill cores from its flagship Majuba Hill Copper-Silver-Gold Project in Nevada, US, as it prepares for the next phase of drilling.
The company recently completed approximately 1,224m of core drilling as part of its phase-one program.
Prior to the latest campaign, the Pershing County project had seen 27,248m of drilling, with data supporting what Copper One describes as “an extensive copper-silver-gold hydrothermal system” that remains open laterally and at depth.
Phase-one drilling intersected the targeted north-northwest-trending breccia corridor, which the company says is consistent with its geological model.
CEO David Greenway says the drilling has “provided important new geological information from the Majuba Hill system”.
The company will now undertake detailed studies of the drill core to improve its understanding of the mineralised system and help refine targets for the upcoming phase-two program.
The work will focus on mineral assemblages, alteration relationships, breccia textures, vein and fracture development, intrusive contacts, and the distribution and paragenesis of sulphide mineralisation.
Results will be incorporated into the company’s evolving 3D geological model and assessed alongside drill core observations, analytical results, and existing geological, geochemical, and structural datasets.
“Through detailed core logging, thin-section petrography, and grain-scale analysis, we expect to improve our understanding of the alteration, mineralising events, and structural controls observed in the drilling,” Greenway says.
The phase-two program, scheduled for this year, is expected to comprise approximately 1,219m of drilling.
Copper One Resources is advancing copper and copper-silver-gold projects, along with critical mineral assets, to support the growing demand driven by electrification.
