T2 Metals Corp. announced it has acquired 100% ownership through staking, of the Copper Eagle copper-gold project, located in Douglas County, Nevada. The project was identified during an extensive and ongoing project generation program targeting copper deposits within mining supportive jurisdictions of North America. Nevada is the most attractive destination for mineral discovery and development. The Copper Eagle project lies 21 km southeast of Carson City, within the richly gold and copper endowed Walker Lane Mineral Belt. The project is 100% owned by T2 Metals, secured by 6 BLM lode mining claims. Several large historic copper mines and development projects lie within 50 km of Copper Eagle, including the Anaconda Copper Mine in Yerington, Hudbay Minerals' Mason Project and Nevada Copper Inc.'s Pumpkin Hollow Mine. Key Points: The Copper Eagle project lies within the Walker Lane Mineral Belt, in the vicinity of world class porphyry and skarn type copper projects, and is easily accessible all year round; Exploration at Copper Eagle was last recorded over 50 years ago, when significant zones of oxidized copper mineralization were exposed by a consortium of owners (I. Smith, J. Smith and P. Gerken) beneath shallow alluvial cover; Original exploration company records acquired by T2 Metals from the Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology show trenching at Copper Eagle discovered sulfide and oxide copper mineralization over an area of at least 500 m by 200 m; Copper grades were reported from 14 intrusive and metasediment rock samples, which ranged from 0.001% to 19.8% Cu and averaged 2.3% Cu; In addition, three samples with significant gold grades of 0.01, 0.02 and 0.95 oz/t Au (0.3, 0.6 and 29.5 g/t Au) were reported from intervals of quartz vein within the area; Geological mapping by Smith Copper in 1971 indicates that copper mineralization is associated with altered, possible Tertiary age intrusions, consistent with a potential porphyry copper setting and analogous to other porphyry deposits in the northern part of the Walker Lane Mineral Belt; The mapping also identified propylitic, argillic and potassic alteration within granodiorite and monzonite intrusive rocks to the southeast of Copper Eagle along with regular copper occurrences; T2 Metals is now compiling historical data and preparing for geochemical sampling and geophysics prior to
drilling.
