White Cliff finds visual copper sulphides in new Rae project target
White Cliff Minerals has found visual copper sulphides in its first drill hole into a previously untested structure at the Rae project in Nunavut, Canada.
The structure lies less than 200 metres east of the company’s Danvers 1 copper trend and has been mapped for about 2.8 kilometres.
The hole logged copper sulphides from 16 metres down, but laboratory assays are still pending.
The company expects assay results in six to eight weeks.
Copper sulphides were also seen in three holes drilled along the northeastern part of the existing Danvers 1 trend.
These findings may help the company assess whether copper-bearing structures extend beyond the known deposit, but visual observations do not establish the copper grade.
White Cliff is continuing drilling and conducting surveys to identify targets across the wider project.
White Cliff Minerals has logged visual copper sulphides in the first drill hole into a new structure beside the Danvers 1 trend at its Rae project in Nunavut, Canada.
The sulphides were recorded in multiple intervals from 16 metres downhole, totalling 28.52 metres.
The structure is mapped for about 2.8 kilometres, and several other parallel magnetic features remain untested.
Assay results are pending, with the company expecting them in six to eight weeks.
Visual copper sulphides were also identified in all three recent northeast infill holes along the existing Danvers 1 trend.
- Who
- White Cliff Minerals (ASX:WCN).
- What
- It logged visual copper sulphides in the first hole into a new parallel structure beside Danvers 1.
- When
- Published 13 October 2026. Assay results are expected in six to eight weeks.
- Where
- The Rae project in Nunavut, Canada, less than 200 metres east of the main Danvers 1 trend.
- Why
- The drilling tested a previously untested magnetic feature as part of the company’s effort to expand the Danvers copper system.
This story does not have two clearly opposing sides.
White Cliff reported assayed results from the established Danvers 1 zone, including 76.5 metres at 2.01% copper and 5.72 grams per tonne silver from 49.5 metres.
Stockhead reported visual copper sulphides in the first hole into the new parallel structure and in three northeast infill holes.
White Cliff expects assay results from the new hole.
- New-hole visual sulphides
- 28.52 metres across separate intervals, from 16 metres downhole
- Mapped parallel structure
- About 2.8 kilometres
- Distance east of Danvers 1 trend
- Less than 200 metres
- Northeast infill coverage
- 1,397 metres of lateral strike
- Expected assay timing
- Six to eight weeks after the report
What people are saying
Our first hole into this previously untested parallel structure has intersected copper sulphides from just 16m downhole, opening a new exploration opportunity immediately beside Danvers 1
With approximately 2.8km of mapped structure to follow up, this discovery gives us a substantial new target for expanding the Danvers copper system.
