不列顛哥倫比亞省溫哥華--(Newsfile Corp.,2023 年 9 月 19 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:AWX)(“ArcWest”)簽訂了一份不具約束力的意向書(“意向書”),就位於加拿大西海岸多產礦區不列顛哥倫比亞省中部的ArcWestRip Cu-Mo項目(“Rip Project” 或 “項目”)進行80%的收益和合資協議進行談判。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 copper-molybdenum (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 Project佔地2,309公頃,位於休斯敦以南約63公里處,伯恩斯湖西南79公里處,位於不列顛哥倫比亞省中部的伯恩斯湖西南79公里處。Rip Project位於Stikine Terrane,位於白堊紀晚期(Bulkley Plutonic Suite)斑岩銅鉬礦(Cu-Mo)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,目前正在維護和維護中。除哈克貝利礦外,Bulkley 斑岩帶還包括惠廷溪、Poplar、Seel 和 Ox Cu-Mo(金銀)礦牀。完全允許的 Rip Project 可通過道路從休斯敦或伯恩斯湖進入。

Rip Project Earn-In Agreement with ArcWest

與 ArcWest 達成的 Rip 項目盈利協議

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

根據意向書的條款,Interra獲得兩階段期權,在長達8年的時間內獲得Rip Project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% share ownership in the Rip by issuing 1,050,000 shares of Interra, completing geological and exploration expenditures of Cdn $2,000,000, and paying Cdn $100,000 cash to ArcWest, over a period 4 years and 3 months, until December 31, 2027.

在 1 中st 在階段,Interra可以選擇通過發行105萬股Interra股票,完成200萬加元的地質和勘探支出,並在2027年12月31日之前的4年零3個月內向ArcWest支付10萬加元的現金,從而獲得Rip60%的股份所有權。

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 C$2 million in work and paying ArcWest C$250,000 per year. Possible extensions are granted to Interra for 3 additional years until 2033 at the latest, by continuing these same terms plus an additional C$100,000 per year.

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 該選項的階段要求Interra爲200萬加元的工作提供資金,並每年向ArcWest支付25萬加元。Interra可以再延長3年,最遲到2033年,即延續相同的條款,再加上每年額外10萬加元。

A primary target area is defined by a previously outlined high chargeability zone which is shown in Figure 1.

主要目標區域由先前概述的高電荷區域定義,如圖 1 所示。

Figure 1. A large historically delineated IP chargeability high with areas of alteration, as defined from percussion drilling logs, a diamond drill hole, and outcrop, and the extent of strong quartz-sericite-pyrite (QSP) alteration, provide for an immediate target area for exploration and future drilling.

The first work program funding requirement for a minimum of C$300,000 is set to December 31, 2024. Work will commence this year with 3D topography and satellite-aerial survey of the entire Project for a committed budget of C$25,000. Further Exploitation work will consist of geophysics to refine targets for the first stage of drilling, planned for the 2024 or 2025 drilling season.

第一項最低爲30萬加元的工作計劃資金要求定爲2024年12月31日。今年將開始對整個項目進行三維地形測繪和衛星空中測量,承諾預算爲25,000加元。進一步的開採工作將包括地球物理學,以完善計劃在2024年或2025年鑽探季節進行的第一階段鑽探的目標。

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羣火山沉積岩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年完成了一項誘導極化調查,該調查描繪了可充電性顯著的高點。儘管Kennco表示,“歸根結底,該區域將需要廣泛的鑽探計劃來確定硫化物系統中是否存在經濟礦化帶”(Dorval和Stevenson,1976年),但在1975年,該地區僅通過一個294米長的金剛石鑽孔(傾角爲-45度)進行了測試。鑽孔與石英-絲雲母-黃鐵礦(QSP)發生了強烈的交叉,改變了安山岩和石英閃長巖,深度爲115米,該區域被斷層切斷。在70.3米(35.3-105.6米)上,QSP在斷層上方的變化區域平均爲0.07%的銅和0.005%的鉬含量。知識產權調查於1980年延長,概述了0.8-1.5乘2.2千米的電荷高度,完成了36個總計1763米的淺衝擊鑽孔(其中11個鑽孔未能到達基岩)。對來自這些衝擊孔的鑽屑的測井描繪了一個 QSP 變化區域,與可充電性高差不多。1981年對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,該異常是一個寬闊的外圍鉛鋅砷錳異常,這是斑岩銅系中典型的地球化學分區。儘管 Rip 物業的大部分區域都被冰川沉積物覆蓋,但在肯科可電荷異常的核心附近,有一小塊(50 x 100 米)的露頭和淺溝區域,暴露出堅固的多級斑岩樣脈脈,在變化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” 礦脈帶有白色 K 長石(或鈉長石)光環被後來的石英-黃銅礦-黃銅礦-黃鐵礦-輝鉬礦 “B” 礦脈切割。脈紋伴隨着無處不在的磁鐵礦-黑雲母(鉀)變化,石英-絲雲母-黃鐵礦(QSP)可變地覆蓋這種變化。局部多階段斑岩式脈絡可達到很強的牲畜密度。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258-1490百萬分之一(ppm)的銅、3-238 ppm的鉬含量、十億分之7-69的金和0.2-1.5 ppm的銀。有害元素的含量非常低(例如,鋅

Interra Director and COO Jason Nickel commented, "The Rip Project fits nicely into our portfolio of BC Copper properties, located in a high profile jurisdiction, and with nearby infrastructure and past producing mines. Partnering with ArcWest on the Initial work programs and our Phase 1 Earn-in, we look forward to uncovering what the present anomalies may discover."

Interra董事兼首席運營官傑森·尼克爾評論說:”Rip Project非常適合我們的不列顛哥倫比亞省銅業房地產投資組合,位於一個備受矚目的司法管轄區,附近有基礎設施和過去生產的礦山。我們與 ArcWest 合作制定了初始工作計劃和我們的第一階段 Earn-in,我們期待發現目前的異常情況可能會發現什麼。”

Tyler Ruks, President and CEO of ArcWest commented, "ArcWest views the Rip Project as containing a highly underexplored porphyry copper system and is looking forward to working with Interra to advance the project."

ArcWest總裁兼首席執行官泰勒·魯克斯評論說:”ArcWest 認爲 Rip Project 包含一個開發不足的斑岩銅系統,並期待與 Interra 合作推進該項目。”
