INTERRA INCREASES STARS PROPERTY LAND PACKGAGE BY 5,932 HECTARES THROUGH STAKING
Interra Copper Corp. has acquired 5,932 hectares (ha) of prospective ground adjoining the Stars property. On Oct. 7, Interra announced that it had entered into
a mineral claims purchase agreement
with
Aurwest Resources Corp. to acquire a 100-per-cent right, title and interest in the Stars property, an early-stage porphyry copper-molybdenum discovery, covering 3,761 ha in central British Columbia. The newly staked ground adds to the overall mineral potential and strategic value of the Stars property, covering an additional mineral showing and prominent geophysical anomaly, as well as nearby road-accessible areas that may have new bedrock exposures due to logging activities. The combined Stars project claims now cover 9,693 ha.
Brian Thurston, president and chief executive officer of Interra, commented: "We are pleased to have more than doubled the size of the Stars property by staking. Staking in British Columbia is the most economical way to acquire mineral tenures, in this case adding shareholder value at very minimal cost. With the expanded land package we see an increased exploration upside, with the inclusion of an additional copper mineral showing, geophysical anomaly and strategic ground accessible via logging roads."
Details of new claims:
-
Seven mineral claims covering 5,932 ha of ground adjoining the Stars property;
-
Includes the Big Dipper magnetic anomaly, which is interpreted to be a continuation of the magnetic anomaly that defines the Stars porphyry project;
-
Includes the GSC1971-13 copper showing, comprising malachite and chalcocite in calcite veins within red vesicular volcanic rocks of the Hazelton group;
-
Includes adjacent, road-accessible, underexplored ground that may have bedrock exposures that could aid in understanding the context of the Stars porphyry mineral system or be affected by extensions of that mineral system.
The Big Dipper anomaly
The Big Dipper magnetic anomaly is continuous with the high magnetic intensity zone that encircles the Stars porphyry copper-molybdenum (Cu-Mo) mineral system. The magnetic high extends approximately 3.1 kilometres (km) to the northeast of the previous property boundary and is now fully encompassed by mineral claims 100 per cent owned by Interra Copper (pending completion of the Stars property purchase agreement). Drilling at the Stars porphyry has delineated an approximately 1.8-kilometre-times-one-kilometre area that is underlain by a large altered and weakly mineralized intrusion, with local domains of higher-grade mineralization at the Tana zone (466 per cent Cu over 195.07 metres (m) in drill hole DD18SS004 from 23.47 m) and the Libra zone (0.153 per cent Cu over 91.45 m in drill hole DD18SS05 from 279.50 m). Both of these mineralized zones are located in areas characterized by low magnetic intensity, encircled by the broader magnetic high. Similar domains of lower magnetic intensity surrounded by high magnetic intensity that have never been tested by drilling are present within the Big Dipper anomaly.
