Purecore wraps up Bankier’s ‘boots-on-ground’ exploration

Purecore Metals (CSE:PURE) has completed an initial phase of boots-on-the-ground exploration, as part of a 2026 field program at the Bankier Project in Canada.

The phase one program includes property-wide reconnaissance, comprehensive geological mapping, revisiting and verifying historical sampling locations and mineral showings, as well as geological traverses and reconnaissance across previously unexplored areas.

CEO Peter Berdusco says the company is systematically evaluating the broader mineral potential of the project.

“This field program has been instrumental in advancing our understanding of the geology, alteration, and structural controls on mineralisation across the property,” Berdusco says.

“It is particularly encouraging to have identified additional areas of alteration outside the historical MINFILE occurrences, highlighting new targets for follow-up exploration.”

The Bankier Project is an early-stage exploration project located in the Central Okanagan region of British Columbia, Canada. The project sits 22km west of Peachland and near the historical Brenda Mine, a past-producing copper-molybdenum mine now in remediation.

Purecore Metals is a mineral explorer focused on advancing the materials that power modern energy systems and emerging technologies.
