Canada One reviews exploration at Copper Dome
Executive Summary
- Canada One Mining Corp. released extensive 2023 mobile metal ion (MMI) and rock sampling results from the Friday Creek zone on its 100% owned Copper Dome project in Princeton, B.C.
- Significant anomalous geochemical anomalies were identified for multiple metals (Au, Ag, Zn, Pb, Co, Cu, Mo, Pd), including high‑grade copper–gold–palladium samples (up to 10.65 % Cu, 4.89 g/t Au, 10.4 g/t Pd).
- The company now holds a five‑year drill permit and plans further infill sampling, geophysics, and eventual drilling to define targets and potentially link the Friday Creek zone with the nearby Norma showing for a >1,200 m strike length.
Key Details
- MMI Sampling (2023):
- 450 m × 400 m area anomalous in Au, Ag, Zn, Pb, Co.
-
250 m × 110 m area anomalous in Cu, Au, Mo, Co.
-
Rock Sampling Highlights:
- Best sample (1B‑bornite) – 10.65 % Cu, 4.89 g/t Au, 10.4 g/t Pd.
- Five samples Au: 0.66–4.89 g/t.
- Four samples Pd: 4.6–10.5 g/t.
-
Five samples Cu: 0.8–10.07 %.
-
Potential Mineralized Connection:
-
Linking Friday Creek prospect to Norma showing could create a ~1,200 m strike length.
-
Project Context:
-
Copper Dome borders the producing Copper Mountain mine (Hudbay Minerals). Historical work includes 51 km IP surveys, airborne EM/magnetics, >2,250 soil samples, >378 rock samples, >8,900 m diamond drilling, and >1 km trenching.
-
Friday Creek Zone Details:
- Two multielement anomalies identified; the larger (≈450 × 400 m) is open NE, ~3 km from Copper Mountain’s southernmost deposit.
-
The smaller (250 × 110 m) is in the SE corner, possibly open SSE.
-
Prospect‑Specific Results:
- Friday Creek Prospect (NW edge): 14 rock samples; Au 0.66–4.89 g/t, Pd 4.6–10.5 g/t, Cu 0.8–10.07 %.
- Ilk Showing: Historic grab samples – up to 28.06 % Cu, 18.5 g/t Au, 213 g/t Ag, 64.5 g/t Pd.
-
Norma Showing: Two of three samples contain Pd (2.5 & 8.2 g/t); one sample 0.59 % Cu.
-
Bornite Showing (≈100 m E of Friday Creek):
- Sample A1 – 6.7 % Cu, 1 g/t Au, 6.1 g/t Pd.
-
Sample 1B – 10.6 % Cu, 4.8 g/t Au, 10.4 g/t Pd.
-
Future Work Planned:
- Infill MMI and geophysical surveys to combine anomalous features.
- Drill target definition following permit acquisition; focus on expanding strike length and testing continuity of mineralization.
Notable Quotes
“With our recently acquired five‑year drill permit, Canada One is now poised to capitalize on exploration at Copper Dome. The Friday Creek zone will be an area of ongoing interest considering the consistency of mineralization in the rock samples and anomalous MMI values.” – Peter Berdusco, President & CEO
