North Bay Resources Inc. announced previously unreleased assays (with the exception of sample 23CIR-7) at its recently acquired Copper IslandRed-Bed Copper Project, located in British Columbia, Canada. Further, the Company has mobilized for exploration and expects exploration to commence on or about February 26th, 2024. The focus will be the Copper Bell zone (up to 14.7% Cu).

The Company reports Summer 2023 exploration consisted of 8 rock chip samples covering the Pomeroy 1 and Copper Bell zones. The confidential data (B.C. Assessment Report 41377) was recently acquired as part of the property acquisition. Rock chip sampling consisted of sequential leach for oxide, sulphide and residual geochemical analysis.

Copper sequential leach (ALS method Cu-PKG06LI involving sulfuric & cyanide leach) identifies oxide, sulphide and residual copper geochemistry. A total of 8 rock samples, ranging from 0.68-1.84 kilograms in weight, of acorn sized rock chips were taken with rock hammer and moil, and placed in marked poly bags and shipped to ALS Chemex Labs Ltd, North Vancouver, BC for Prep-31 & Cu-PKG06LI sequential leach for oxide, sulphide and residual geochemical analysis (Analysis certificate VA23177512): Pomeroy 1: 23CIR-3 7.46% Cu, 23CIR-4 8.48% Cu, 23CIR-5 4.51% Cu, 23CIR-6 3.28% Cu. Average: 33 % oxide Cu, 65.4% sulphide Cu, 1.6 % residual Cu (native copper).

Copper Bell: 23CIR-7 14.7% Cu, 23CIR-8 3.42% Cu. 23CIR-1 and 23CIR-2, taken outside the mineralized zones, generated nominal results.
