FireFly reports copper-gold discovery at Mount Joy in Canada
FireFly announced a copper-gold discovery at the Mount Joy prospect, part of its Green Bay project in Canada.
The prospect is near Tilt Cove and about 35 kilometres from the company's Ming Mine.
FireFly says it identified Mount Joy through geophysical and geochemical surveys before drilling.
The first hole intersected 22.5 metres grading 2.5% copper equivalent from a depth of 109 metres, including a richer section.
A second hole cut about 40 metres of semi-massive sulphides, but assay results for that hole are still pending.
The discovery adds to the exploration potential of the area, and FireFly says numerous other targets remain to be tested.
The first hole was also about 2.6 kilometres from the company's Nugget Pond processing facility, which is currently on care and maintenance.
FireFly Metals reported a copper-gold-rich volcanogenic massive sulphide discovery at the Mount Joy prospect in Canada.
The first drill hole intersected 22.5 metres grading 2.5% copper equivalent from a depth of 109 metres.
The interval included 9.0 metres grading 3.9% copper equivalent, including 3.0% copper and 1.0 grams per tonne of gold.
A follow-up step-out hole intersected about 40 metres of semi-massive sulphides, with assays pending.
Mount Joy is about 35 kilometres from the Ming Mine and 2.6 kilometres from FireFly’s Nugget Pond processing facility.
