Interra Copper Corp. (CSE: IMCX; OTCQB: IMIMF; FRA: 3MX) (“Interra” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has acquired the Stellar Property (“Stellar”, or the “Property”), comprising mineral tenures that cover 5,389 hectares (“ha”) of prospective ground within the Bulkley Porphyry Belt in northern British Columbia, Canada (Figure 1).
Brian Thurston, President & CEO of Interra, comments: “Interra management believe that the Bulkley Porphyry Belt is underappreciated amongst British Columbia’s prodigious porphyry districts, and we are excited to now have three very promising properties within the belt. Relative to other porphyry districts the Bulkley Porphyry Belt, which includes Imperial Metals’ past producing Huckelberry Cu-Mo mine, boasts proximity to infrastructure, easy access, and subdued topography. In other words, it is relatively easy and cost effective to explore. With today’s acquisition of the Stellar Property and the pending completion of the Stars Property acquisition, Interra has assembled a dominant land position in the belt with three properties covering 19,852 ha that will be owned or optioned by the Company. We are eagerly awaiting the 2025 exploration season when we plan to advance each of these exciting properties.”
Highlights of the Stellar Property:
- 5,389 ha of highly prospective ground within the Bulkley Porphyry Belt, including 10 British Columbia Minfile mineral showings (Figure 1).
- The Cassiopeia geophysical anomaly (Figure 1): a 2.5 km diameter circular magnetic anomaly with a classic porphyry-related pattern of a high magnetic intensity ring cored by a magnetic low. The anomaly was identified during a 2018 airborne geophysical survey in an area that has no record of previous or subsequent exploration.
- The Jewelry Box area (Figure 1): approximately 5 x 3 km area that is host to eight BC Minfile mineral showings associated with Hazelton Group volcanic and sedimentary rocks intruded by porphyritic stocks. Mineralization includes locally high-grade gold (“Au”) (nil – 42 grams per ton [“g/t”]), silver (“Ag”) (nil – 4,860 g/t) and copper (“Cu”) (nil – 36%) (Table 1). Interra considers this cluster of mineralized zones to be underexplored for porphyry Cu-Au potential.
- Historical exploration (ca. 1965 – 2021) including 1,223 metres (“m”) of diamond drilling in 8 drill holes, 3 induced polarization surveys (“IP”), and 2 high-resolution airborne magnetic surveys. Aurwest Resources Corp. conducted the most recent (2021) exploration on the property, with a $743,978 expenditure on extensive geochemical and IP surveying. The results of the surveys were interpreted to confirm porphyry Cu-Au potential on the Property.
