CopAur Minerals Inc. announced the results of its recently completed four hole, 1,428 metre diamond drill campaign at its Williams Copper-Gold Project located in the Toodoggone region of north-central British Columbia. Drilling targeting untested soil geochemical anomalies at the GIC porphyry target has resulted in the discovery of a new gold zone yielding 2.2 grams-per-tonne (g/t) gold (Au) and 0.13% copper (Cu) over 50 metres; including 4.2 g/t Au over 10.5 metres within drill hole WM22-02. Both the copper and gold mineralization appear to be improving at depth with the drill hole ending in strong mineralization, demonstrating the significant potential to expand on this initial discovery.

The new gold discovery lies at the west end the of the GIC porphyry target, a 4 km x 0.8 km east-west trending copper-gold(±molybdenum) geochemical and IP/resistivity geophysical anomaly that has been subject to only limited historical drilling. Exploration drill hole WM22-02 testing a combined gold-copper soil geochemical and weak chargeability anomaly intersected subtle quartz-carbonate-pyrite-magnetite mineralized and chlorite altered intermediate volcanic rocks that returned assays of 2.22 g/t Au and 0.13% Cu over 50 metres, below a broader zone of anomalous copper and gold values returning 0.16 g/t Au and 230 ppm Cu over 95 metres. Drill hole WM22-01 targeting a copper-gold in soil geochemical target yielded anomalous copper values from assaying 240 ppm Cu over 94 metres from surface within fine fracture-fill mineralized, chlorite(±silica±epidote) altered intermediate volcanic rocks in contact with monazite intrusive at depth.
