Cupani Metals begins mobilization for winter drilling

Mr. Brian Bosse reports DRILLING CAMPAIGN BEGINS MOBILIZATION Cupani Metals Corp.'s winter drilling campaign has begun mobilization. Mobilization of machinery and supplies for Cupani's winter exploration drilling campaign has begun. The campaign seeks mineralization of copper, nickel and platinum group elements. The first loads of heavy equipment left Sept-Iles for Schefferville by train earlier this week. Provisions of fuel and food have already reached Schefferville. Helicopter services for the campaign have been contracted from Innukopteres Inc., the main shareholder of which is the Innu Council of Ekuanitshit. Innukopteres is an entirely aboriginal company that began operations in 2010 and the mission of which is to provide its customers with safe and high-quality helicopter transportation services. Innukopteres will supply a Eurocopter AS350 B3 helicopter from Sept-Iles. The exploration drilling contract has been awarded to Vital Drilling Services. Vital Drilling Services drilled at Blue Lake in 2015 and therefore is familiar with the logistics, lithology and mineralization of the region. Drilling is expected to occur near the historical mineralization of copper nickel and platinum group elements. Drilling will be from surface. It is expected that drilling depths will average 200 metres (656 feet) and expected that circa 15 holes will be drilled into various targets chosen based on recent geological interpretations from geophysics, surface samples and detailed mapping. Contractors, staff, drillers and geologists will be accommodated at Cupani's exploration campsite on the shore of Retty Lake. The site is permitted from the Quebec government under conditions that include environmental stewardship. Permits for exploration drilling are in place. Retty Lake camp and the exploration site are both circa 65 kilometres (40 miles) from the town of Schefferville, which hosts and airport, railway, hotels and other infrastructures.
