LEOCOR MINING COMMENCES VTEM AIRBORNE EM SURVEY AT COPPER CREEK, BAIE VERTE, NEWFOUNDLAND
Leocor Mining Inc. (formerly Leocor Gold Inc.) has commenced a VTEM+ airborne electromagnetic survey by Geotech Ltd. at the company's Copper Creek prospect, located within the company's 2,002-hectare contiguous Baie Verte gold-copper exploration package. The Baie Verte project is situated on the north-central coast of the island of Newfoundland in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.
The survey follows up the company's maiden 2025 drilling campaign on the prospect, which succeeded in identifying stockwork chalcopyrite mineralization interpreted to represent feeder-type mineralization of a volcanogenic massive sulphide mineralizing system. In addition to stockwork chalcopyrite mineralization, the program identified additional hallmarks of VMS systems including anomalous zinc mineralization and lenses of massive and semi-massive pyrite.
Results of the 2025 drilling campaign are disclosed in the company news release dated July 8, 2025, titled, "Leocor Mining Drills 3.6 m of 1.49% Cu, Including 0.9 m of 3.22% Cu within 6.1 m of 0.99% Cu at Copper Creek."
"We are pleased to commence this survey at Copper Creek following the success of our maiden drill campaign," said Alex Klenman, chief executive officer. "We remain committed to a disciplined, systematic exploration approach and believe this survey will play an important role in identifying additional high-priority targets. Our Baie Verte project is in a highly prospective district, and we look forward to advancing exploration there," Mr. Klenman added.
About the project
The Baie Verte peninsula has a well-documented mineral endowment, which includes several past-producing VMS mines. Bedrock geology of the project area includes mafic volcanic and metasedimentary sequences of the Notre-Dame subzone of the Dunnage zone of the Newfoundland Appalachians. The Notre-Dame subzone is characterized by Ordovician submarine bimodal volcanics, metasedimentary rocks and ophiolite sequences from a volcanic arc environment. This geological setting is consistent with the development of exhalative and replacement-type VMS deposits. The most notable occurrences within the Notre Dame subzone on the Baie Verte peninsula include the past-producing Terra Nova, Rambler and Tilt Cove mines.
