不列顛哥倫比亞省溫哥華--(新聞文件公司-2023 年 11 月 28 日)- Interra Copper Coperp.(CSE:IMCX)(OTCQB:IMIMF)(FSE:3MX) (”Interra“或者”公司“)很高興地宣佈,它已與ArcWest Exploration Inc.(多倫多證券交易所股票代碼:ArcWest)(“ArcWest”)執行了期權,就位於加拿大西海岸多產的採礦區不列顛哥倫比亞省中部的Rip Copper-Molyo(Cu-Mo)項目(“Rip項目” 或 “項目”)達成高達80%的收益和合資協議。Rip 的技術演示文稿可在此處下載。

The Rip Project comprises 2,309 ha and is located about 63 km south of Houston and 79 km southwest of Burns Lake in central British Columbia. The Rip Project is situated in Stikine Terrane in a prolific belt of Late Cretaceous (Bulkley Plutonic Suite) porphyry Cu-Mo deposits, which includes Imperial Metals' Huckleberry Mine, 33 km to the southwest and presently on care and maintenance. In addition to the Huckleberry Mine, the Bulkley porphyry belt includes the Whiting Creek, Poplar, Seel and Ox Cu-Mo (gold-silver) deposits. The fully permitted Rip Project is road accessible from either Houston or Burns Lake.

Rip 項目佔地 2,309 公頃,位於休斯敦以南約 63 公里處,不列顛哥倫比亞省中部伯恩斯湖西南 79 公里處。Rip Project位於斯蒂金地帶,位於白堊紀晚期(Bulkley Plutonic Suite)斑岩銅鉬礦牀的多產地帶,其中包括帝國金屬公司的哈克貝利礦,位於西南33公里處,目前正在進行維護和保養。除哈克貝利礦外,布爾克利斑岩帶還包括惠廷溪、白楊、西爾和牛銅鉬礦牀(金銀)。完全允許的 Rip Project 可從休斯敦或伯恩斯湖進入道路。

Rip Project Earn-In Agreement with ArcWest

與 ArcWest 達成的 Rip 項目盈利協議

Under the terms of definitive agreement, Interra has obtained a two-stage option to earn up to an 80% ownership interest in the Rip Project over up to an 8-year period.

根據最終協議條款,Interra已獲得兩階段期權,可在長達8年的期限內獲得Rip項目高達80%的所有權。

In the 1st stage, Interra has the option to earn, over a 4-year staged work-schedule, a 60% beneficial ownership in the Rip Project by issuing 1,050,000 shares of Interra, completing geological and exploration expenditures of C$2,000,000, and paying C$100,000 cash to ArcWest, over a period 4 years and 3 months, until December 31, 2027. Interra will issue 200,000 shares before December 4, 2023. C$25,000 of exploration is required by December 31, 2023, or payment to ArcWest in lieu.

在 1 中st 階段,Interra可以選擇在爲期4年的分階段工作計劃中,通過發行Interra的105萬股股票,完成200萬加元的地質和勘探支出,並向ArcWest支付10萬加元的現金,在截至2027年12月31日的4年零3個月內獲得Rip項目60%的實益所有權。Interra將在2023年12月4日之前發行20萬股股票。在2023年12月31日之前,需要2.5萬加元的勘探費用,或者向ArcWest支付代替費用。

The 2nd stage of the earn-in requires Interra to advance the Project to Feasibility Study level in order to obtain an additional 20% for a total of 80% ownership, within 4 years of completing the first tier earn-in, or at the latest December 31, 2031. This 2nd stage of the option requires Interra funding exploration work to reach a Feasibility Study and paying ArcWest C$250,000 per year. Possible extensions are granted to Interra Copper for 3 additional years (until 2034 at the latest), by continuing C$250,000 annual payment to ArcWest plus an additional C$100,000 per year, in addition to a minimum of C$2,000,000 of annual exploration during the extension period.

這個 2 盈利階段要求Interra在完成第一級收益後的4年內,或最遲在2031年12月31日,將項目提升到可行性研究水平,以便額外獲得20%的股份,總擁有80%的所有權。這個 2 該選項階段要求Interra爲勘探工作提供資金才能進行可行性研究,並每年向ArcWest支付25萬加元。允許Interra Copper再延長3年(最遲至2034年),方法是繼續每年向ArcWest支付25萬加元,再加上每年額外支付10萬加元,此外在延長期內每年至少進行200萬加元的勘探。

The first work program funding requirement for a minimum of C$300,000 is set to December 31, 2024. Work had commenced this year already with 3D topography and satellite-aerial survey (drone orthophotography) and of the entire Project as well as soil sampling, results are pending. Further Exploitation work will consist of geophysics to refine targets for the first stage of drilling, planned for the 2024 and 2025 drilling season.

第一項工作計劃資金要求至少爲30萬加元,定於2024年12月31日。今年已經開始了三維地形和衛星航空測量(無人機正射攝影),整個項目以及土壤採樣的工作仍在等待結果。進一步的勘探工作將包括地球物理學,以完善計劃於2024年和2025年鑽探季節進行的第一階段鑽探目標。

The Rip Project covers the central axis of a 15 by 6 kilometer window of Early Jurassic Hazelton Group volcano-sedimentary rocks intruded by several small stocks of Late Cretaceous Bulkley Plutonic Suite porphyritic granodiorite. Faults bounding this block trend northwesterly and separate the Hazelton Group from surrounding blocks of younger (Late Cretaceous to Eocene) volcanics.

Rip Project覆蓋了侏羅紀早期黑澤爾頓群火山沉積岩15乘6千米窗戶的中心軸,該窗戶被幾小量白堊紀晚期Bulkley冥王星組斑岩花崗閃長巖侵入。圍繞該區塊的斷層向西北方向移動,將黑澤爾頓組與周圍較年輕的火山岩塊(白堊紀晚期至始新世)隔開。

The Rip target was initially advanced by Kennco Explorations between 1975 and 1981. Kennco completed an Induced Polarization survey in 1975 which delineated a significant chargeability high. Although Kennco stated "in the final analysis this area will require an extensive drilling program to determine whether a zone of economic mineralization exists within the sulfide system" (Dorval and Stevenson, 1976), it was tested only by a single, 294 meter-long diamond drill hole (at -45 degree inclination) in 1975. The drill hole intersected intensely quartz-sericite-pyrite (QSP) altered andesite and quartz diorite to a depth of 115 meters where the zone was cut off by a fault. The QSP altered zone above the fault averaged 0.07% Cu and 0.005% Mo over 70.3 meters (35.3-105.6m). The IP survey was extended in 1980, outlining the 0.8-1.5 by 2.2 kilometer chargeability high, and 36 shallow percussion drill holes totaling 1763 meters were completed (11 of the drill holes failed to reach bedrock). Logging of drill cuttings from these percussion holes delineated a zone of QSP alteration approximately corresponding to the chargeability high. A multi-element analysis of the core cuttings from 26 of the percussion holes in 1981 outlined a central 0.5 by 1.5 kilometer Cu-Mo anomaly coring a broad peripheral lead-zinc-arsenic-manganese anomaly, a geochemical zonation typical of porphyry copper systems. Although most of the Rip property is covered by glacial deposits, near the core of the Kennco chargeability anomaly a small (50 by 100 meter) area of outcrop and shallow trenches exposes strong multistage porphyry-style stockwork veining within altered Hazelton volcanics and feldspar-quartz porphyry. Early magnetite-chalcopyrite-pyrite 'A' veins with white K-feldspar (or albite) halos are cut by later quartz-chalcopyite-pyrite-molybdenite 'B' veins. Veining accompanies pervasive magnetite-biotite (potassic) alteration which is variably overprinted by quartz-sericite-pyrite (QSP). Multistage porphyry-style veining locally reaches strong stockwork density. Limited rock sampling of these outcrops in 2017-2018 (8 samples), returned 258-1490 parts per million (ppm) copper, 3-238 ppm molybdenum, 7-69 parts per billion gold, and 0.2-1.5 ppm silver. Deleterious elements occur at very low levels (e.g., zinc <77 ppm, lead <4 ppm, and arsenic <5 ppm). Further details of the Rip Cu-Mo Project can be found here:

Rip 目標最初由 Kennco Explorations 在 1975 年至 1981 年間推進。Kennco 於 1975 年完成了一項感應極化調查,該調查描繪了可充電性的顯著高點。儘管肯科表示 “歸根結底,該地區將需要進行大規模的鑽探計劃才能確定硫化物系統中是否存在經濟礦化帶”(Dorval和Stevenson,1976年),但1975年僅通過一個294米長的金剛石鑽孔(傾角爲-45度)對其進行了測試。鑽孔與石英-杉鐵礦-黃鐵礦(QSP)強烈相交,使安山岩和石英閃長巖深度達到115米,該區域因斷層而被切斷。在70.3米(35.3-105.6m)內,QSP 斷層上方的變化區域平均銅含量爲 0.07%,鉬含量爲 0.005%。知識產權調查於 1980 年延長,概述了 0.8-1.5 x 2.2 千米的充電高度,並完成了 36 個總長 1763 米的淺衝擊鑽孔(其中 11 個鑽孔未能到達基岩)。對這些衝擊孔的鑽屑進行記錄,描繪出一個與可充電性高點大致對應的 QSP 變化區域。1981 年,對其中26個衝擊孔的岩心岩屑進行了多元素分析,概述了中心0.5 x 1.5千米的銅鉬異常,該異常是廣泛的外圍鉛鋅砷錳異常,這是斑岩銅系統的典型地球化學分區。儘管 Rip 的大部分財產都被冰川沉積物所覆蓋,但在 Kennco 可充電性異常的核心附近,一小塊(50 x 100 米)的露頭和淺海溝暴露出強壯的多級斑岩狀巖狀岩脈脈,位於經過改變的黑澤爾頓火山岩和長石石英斑岩中。早期的磁鐵礦-黃銅礦-黃鐵礦 “A” 脈和白色鉀長石(或鈉長石)光環是由後來的石英-黃銅礦-黃銅礦-黃鐵礦-輝鉬礦 “B” 脈切割。脈絡隨之而來的是無處不在的磁鐵礦-黑雲母(鉀)變化,石英-絲雲母-黃鐵礦(QSP)會有不同的覆蓋。局部多級斑岩狀脈紋可達到很強的庫存密度。2017-2018年對這些露頭進行了有限的岩石採樣(8個樣本),返回了百萬分之258-1490的銅、3-238 ppm的鉬、7-69億分之黃金和0.2-1.5 ppm的銀。有害元素的含量非常低(例如,鋅

Interra Chairman and CEO Rick Gittleman comments, "The execution on the Rip Project Option adds another promising project to the company's portfolio and furthers our company's objective of adding value through copper focused exploration and development. We look forward to working with our partners at ArcWest and unlocking Rip's potential."

Interra董事長兼首席執行官裏克·吉特爾曼評論說,”Rip Project Option的執行爲公司的投資組合增加了另一個有前途的項目,並進一步推動了我們公司通過以銅爲重點的勘探和開發來增加價值的目標。我們期待與我們在ArcWest的合作伙伴合作,釋放Rip的潛力。”
