Alpha Copper Corp. and Eastfield Resources Ltd. reported on the 2022 fieldwork diamond drill program results at the Indata project located in central British Columbia. Assay results are now available for 11 of the 13 holes completed to-date (2,140 meters), with samples from the final two holes currently in the lab undergoing analysis and anticipated shortly.

MSALabs of Langley, BC completed the analytical determinations utilizing a multi element procedure that includes Aqua Regia digestion followed by inductive plasma (ICP) analysis and additionally a 30-gram gold fire assay using atomic absorption techniques. QC/QA protocols included submitting independent standards into the sample stream to augment laboratory standards. Significant assay results from the program include drill hole IN22-82 that targeted the Lake Copper Zone and drill hole IN22-74 which discovered a brand-new molybdenum (“Mo”) mineralized system 5 kilometers to the south.

Drill Hole IN22-82 intersected 173.6 meters grading 0.23% copper starting at 2.9meters including 28.9 meters grading 0.47% copper starting at 2.9 meters. It was drilled east to west and constitutes the northern boundary of the Lake Zone which remains open to the north beyond this point. Mineralization is hosted in andesitic to basaltic volcanic and subvolcanic diorite variably altered to chlorite, actinolite and biotite (high temperature).

Molybdenum Discovery in Drill Hole IN22-74 intersected 30.8 meters grading 0.10% molybdenum (0.16 MoS2 eq.) starting at 113.7meters, including 7.5 meters grading 0.32% molybdenum (0.51% MoS2 eq.) starting at 113.7meters. Mineralization occurs in a granitic intrusive capped by a gabbroic intrusive. Depth and lateral extent of the molybdenum mineralization, which occurs as disseminations and stockwork veins without significant copper, is unknown.

The final sample in the hole returned 0.043% Mo. The discovery has been named “Area 74”. Hole IN22-84 tested a Carbonate Replacement Deposit (“CRD”) target located approximately 2 kilometers north of the Lake Copper Zone and 7 kilometers north of hole IN22-74.

This hole intersected brecciated limestone to 71.3 meters followed by weakly molybdenum mineralized granite (Mo values to 275 ppm) to the end of the hole at 246.6 meters. The limestone was found to be consistently anomalous in the pathfinder elements arsenic and antimony with arsenic values to 402 ppm and antimony to 136 ppm. These results support the conclusion that this area, now named “the Dover Area” is permissive for both Carbonate Replacement Deposit (CRD) and Carbonate Hosted Precious Metal styles of mineralization.

The 2022 exploration program focused on porphyry copper related, and carbonate replacement (CRD) style mineralization. The discovery of a blind molybdenum system was not anticipated. The Indata Project encompasses 3,189 hectares straddling the Mesozoic aged Quesnel Terrane on the east side and the Paleozoic aged Cache Creek group of rocks on the west.

The project is immediately south of the Stardust-Kwanika Project being developed by Northwest Copper Corp., and 88 kilometres west of Centerra's Mount Milligan Mine. The project is located in the prolific Quesnel Terrane, which hosts an abundance of porphyry copper-gold deposits such as Highland Valley, Mount Milligan, and the New Afton deposit.
