Oreterra Geological Staff Mobilize to Trek South Copper-Gold Prospect, Golden Triangle, BC, to Prepare for Maiden Drill Program
Oreterra initiates a new south drilling program at its project, with assay results expected in August to evaluate the deposit's potential.
Oreterra Metals Corp. has mobilized its geological team to Bronson Camp to prepare for the maiden drill program at the Trek South porphyry copper-gold prospect in BC's Golden Triangle. Camp construction is scheduled to begin on July 16, 2026, with drilling operations anticipated to commence at the end of July using two drill rigs.
The summer program targets a 1.6 km wide porphyry system defined by intense IP chargeability, magnetic highs, MT anomalies, and visible copper mineralization. Initial drill results are expected in August 2026. The program is fully funded following a $9.7 million non-brokered private placement closed in March 2026.
Operations are managed by Equity Exploration Consultants, with field leadership by VP of Exploration John Biczok. Additional exploration targets on the Trek property (Tundra, Tomb, Toe zones) and the JW and Red Line properties will also be advanced during the field season.
Oreterra Metals Corp. has begun mobilization and drilling, marking the execution of previously announced plans. The technical report issued in January 2026 recommended a two-phase drilling program, and the $9.7 million financing secured in March 2026 provided the necessary capital. This development represents an incremental, expected operational milestone rather than a surprise catalyst. It confirms management's commitment to advancing the flagship asset while maintaining the timeline for initial assay results in August 2026.
Oreterra Metals Corp. (TSXV: OTMC) is an exploration-stage company focused on high-potential copper-gold and gold-silver projects in Canada, the US, and Ontario. Its flagship project is Trek South, located in BC's Golden Triangle adjacent to Teck-Newmont's Galore Creek deposits. It is a large-scale porphyry copper-gold target with extensive geophysical and geochemical anomalies.
The company also holds other assets, including Kinkaid in Nevada, which features porphyry-epithermal targets; Scossa in Nevada, a historic high-grade gold producer; and Lundmark-Akow Lake in Ontario, a VMS-style Au-Cu property. The company recently completed a 10:1 share consolidation and name change from Romios Gold Resources Inc. to improve market appeal and facilitate capital raising.
