Alpha Copper Corp. announced results and interpretation of a geophysical magnetic 3D inversion study on its Star Project in northwestern British Columbia. The Star Project is located approximately 50 km NW of the community of Telegraph Creek in the traditional territory of the Tahltan First Nation and is situated in the highly prospective Stikine Arch; an important geological region that hosts numerous large porphyry copper-gold projects such as the Red Chris and Galore Creek deposits.

Highlights: Seven target areas with copper mineralization at surface are underlain by magnetic anomalies. Magnetic lows relate to hydrothermally altered faults and are an expression of the porphyry system. An oval-shaped magnetic high anomaly at the Star target may be associated with alkalic porphyry-style potassic alteration, and is 400 metres wide and starts at 150m depth, which has not been drill tested.

A majority of drilling at the Star target tested the volume between two magnetic anomalies. The review yielded magnetic filter products that clearly show variable magnetic intensity in bedrock at the main target areas on the property (i.e., Star and Star East), as well as a sub-surface view of magnetic anomalies for geologic interpretation. Anomalous magnetic stock-shaped features are present at each of the seven target areas.

In addition to these anomalous features, a magnetic anomaly southeast of the Copper Creek occurrence has also been noted for follow-up surface exploration. Several linear features identified in the magnetic dataset suggest several faults transect the target area. The magnetic anomaly beneath the Star target area appears to have been affected by at least two of these magnetite-destructive features; these breaks correlate with mineralization in the historic drill logs and may represent a sulfide-forming fluid pathway.

The deeper parts of this break in the magnetic anomaly, is south of the majority of drilling on the Star and has not been significantly tested with diamond drilling to date.
