First Tellurium (FTEL) has conducted channel sampling on multiple copper targets at Deer Horn Property in British Columbia.
The company followed up on rock sampling at the Pond and H Spot showings in August and September, which encountered widespread porphyry-style mineralization.
The team will also conduct channel sampling on the third zone of porphyry-style mineralization northeast of the Pond and H Spot zones.
This target was first identified in 2012 and never explored.
In addition, a prominent quartz vein outcrop at least” three meters wide, discovered in September, will be sampled and measured.
“Dr. Groat and his team came back very excited about what they found last month,” said FTEL President and CEO Tyrone Docherty.
“It’s why they wanted to get back and start drilling before we lost our fall weather window. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to coordinate all the logistics with the drilling company in time for the 2022 season,” added Dr. Groat.
The third porphyry-style shHorn’sof copper-gold mineralization occupies the northeast quadrant of Deer Horn’s 51-square kilometre claim holdings on a ridge crest 1.8 km northwest of Kenney Lake.
“A key objective of the current sampling is to identify a drill target for this third zone. This third showing has intrigued us for a long time,” said Docherty.
First Tellurium (FTEL) is down over 3 per cent, trading at C$0.15 at 1:17 pm EST.
