Super Copper Commences Property-Wide Geophysics at Castilla Copper-Gold Project
CSE: CUPR | OTCQB: CUPPF | FSE: N60
Overview
Super Copper Corp. announced it has commenced an integrated geophysical and hyperspectral exploration program at its 100%-owned Castilla copper-gold project, located approximately 60 km southwest of Copiapó in Chile's Atacama region. According to the company, the program is designed to systematically convert Castilla's extensive surface mineralization, including results of up to 53.8 g/t Au and 17.7% Cu, into ranked, drill-ready targets across the property.
The integrated program includes drone-borne magnetic surveys, WorldView-3 satellite hyperspectral imagery, and induced polarization (IP) surveys to map the subsurface architecture and identify drill targets at the project that has never been drill-tested.
Key Highlights
- Drone-borne magnetic survey engaged to complete high-resolution total-field magnetics over the full property footprint, flown at 50 m above ground level using a Geometrics MagArrow cesium-vapour magnetometer on a DJI Matrice 300 RTK platform
- WorldView-3 satellite hyperspectral imagery engaged with PhotoSat Information Ltd. for high-resolution alteration mineral mapping over an 85 km² core area, complemented by a regional hyperspectral package covering 2,000 km²
- Induced Polarization (IP) survey to follow on highest-priority targets identified by magnetics and hyperspectral integration, designed to map disseminated sulphides and chargeable bodies at depth
- Total survey coverage of approximately 798 line-kilometres across the property with 100 metre line spacing
- Integrated 3D inversion of magnetic and IP datasets planned to deliver a fully-modelled targeting package
Project Background and Surface Results
The Castilla project comprises a approximately 7,200 hectare 100%-owned land package in Chile's Atacama region, with no underlying royalties or back-in rights, according to the company. Surface sampling has returned high-grade results including up to 53.8 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) and 17.7% copper (Cu) from selective grab samples, with mineralized vein systems mapped over strike lengths of up to 500 metres.
The company reports significant iron values, with 23 assays returning greater than 10% Fe and 10 assays greater than 50% Fe, consistent with an Iron Oxide Copper-Gold (IOCG) style system. Historical artisanal underground workings confirm continuity of mineralization to at least 50 metres depth, though the property has never been drill-tested.
Technical Program Details
The magnetic survey will utilize production lines spaced every 100 metres east-west, with north-south tie lines every 1,000 metres, covering approximately 798 line-kilometres. The company engaged a Santiago-based geophysical services contractor with ISO 9001, 14001 and OHSAS 18001 accreditation to execute the survey.
PhotoSat Information Ltd. will deliver WorldView-3 alteration mapping over an 85 km² core area, mapping up to 12 alteration minerals at 2-metre resolution, including kaolinite, alunite, sericite, chlorite/epidote, calcite, hematite, goethite, jarosite, and iron-oxide gossans.
What to Watch Next
- Drone magnetic acquisition mobilization within approximately two weeks of contractor preparation period
- PhotoSat hyperspectral deliverables expected in parallel with magnetic acquisition
- Integrated magnetic and hyperspectral targeting review and announcement of IP survey design
- 3D inversion and final target ranking
