Episode notes
Drilling Confirmed A Major System
- Copernico's initial 20-hole program confirmed a major scarn system but didn't hit the highest-grade cores yet.
- Expanding permits now opens multiple high-potential targets including outcropping Firasso and large covered porphyry targets.
Permit Expansion Multiplies Targets
- The new permit application expands drill pads from 49 to about 200 and adds access to four major targets.
- This larger footprint enables targeting both outcropping high-grade areas and extensive covered targets for 2026 geophysics.
Neoc Channel Samples Made A Big Impression
- In September Copernico released channel samples showing tens of meters over 1% copper at Neoc.
- Those surface cuts sit above a massive target that aligns with geophysics.
