Coast Copper Corp. announced the results of its second phase work program on its 100% owned Knob Hill NW property. Knob Hill NW Property Update (Northern Vancouver Island, BC) As announced on September 23, 2024, Coast Copper completed a second phase program on its Knob Hill NW property located on northern Vancouver Island at the west end of the historical Island Copper Belt. This work followed up on initial copper ("Cu") and gold ("Au") results noted along the magnetic highs and along trend with Northisle Copper and Gold Inc.'s ("Northisle") Cu-Au porphyry deposits¹. The gold-rich, porphyry-style copper mineralization at Northisle's NW Expo deposit was delineated in 2024 and is located 4 kilometers ("km") east of the Knob Hill NW property.
The Northisle deposits are spatially related to tabular magnetic high geophysical features which are similar to those observed on the Knob Hill NW property in the area where Coast Copper's 2024 field work collected rock and moss mat samples that are highly anomalous in copper and gold. The fall 2024 sampling results returned elevated copper-in-soils (copper values up to 1,031 parts per million) from the west central portions of the property and are associated with a 1.1 km by 3.6 km magnetic high. The elevated gold (gold values up to 863 parts per billion) in moss mat samples occur along the southeastern portion of the property and are located on the edge of a large magnetic high trend similar to Northisle's deposit¹. This combined area represents a large 4 km by 7 km region containing interesting magnetic data bracketed by anomalous copper and gold in limited sampling. Further prospecting, mapping and soil sampling is recommended in 2025.
