Fabled Surface Chip Sampling on 428 Central Occurrence Reports 5.88 Copper%
Fabled Copper Corp. announced additional results of 2021 surface field work on its Muskwa Copper Project. The Muskwa Project is comprised of the Neil Property, the Toro Property and the Bronson Property located in northern British Columbia. The 428 Central Copper Occurrence and surrounding areas to the north, west and south were prospected on July 20, and August 23 & 27, 2022. Nine exposures of veining were prospected and sampled. Six exposures are situated along a ravine that trends north- northwest into a broad valley, 1 exposure lies on the north side of the valley and 2 veins are exposed at the foot of a receding glacier, 250 meters west of the ravine. Twenty-nine samples (1 grab, 10 rubble /float and 18 chip) were collected over the veins and surrounding areas. On the north side of the valley, a non-mineralized, 2.50 meter wide, tension vein strikes 176 degrees. Grab sample D-723173 was collected at an elevation of 1,732 meters and returned an analysis low in copper (0.01%). In the ravine, 350 to 850 meters south-southeast from sample D-723173, 6 exposures of veining were sampled. Five exposures are located between 350 to 450 meters from D-723173 at elevations of 1,788 to 1,839 meters and the 6th exposure is located up the slope (elevation 2,080 meters). Eleven chip samples (D-723174, 176-180 & 182-184), collected across the veining at various locations, contained 0 to 3% sulphides. Copper assay results were low, < 0.39%. Two float /rubble samples, D-723181 & 185, taken within 20 meters of the veining, were mineralized with 5% chalcopyrite. Copper analyses for these 2 samples indicate sample D-723181 contains 2.09% Cu and D-723185 contains 1.16% Cu. Upslope 250 meters, at an elevation of 2,080 meters, the same ravine hosts a 6th exposure. Here the 428 Central Vein is exposed across 1.50 meters and contained semi-massive sulphides (8%chalcopyrite and 1% bornite). One chip sample, D-723508, was collected across a width of 1.50 meters and assayed 5.88% copper. Approximately 250 meters west, from the location of sample D-723508, 2 outcrops of large (up to 2 meters in width and 90 meters in length) quartz-carbonate veining, lie exposed at the foot of a melting glacier (elevations of 2,014-2,023 meters). Eight chip samples were collected across these veins. Over recent years it appears that the glacier has receded about 200 meters to the south. The veins contain 0 to 1% chalcopyrite, and little Cu, 0.0004-0.0021%. Also in the area, between the veins and a dyke outcropping 150 meters to the east, three mineralized (1-4% chalcopyrite & < 1% bornite) float samples (D-723503-505) were collected at elevations of 2,021 to 2,023 meters. These 3 samples assayed between 1.12 and 2.19% copper. At higher elevations of 2,180 and 2,098, 2 float samples, D-723506 & 507, were collected 250-300 meters to the south-southeast. Sample D- 723506, with 1% chalcopyrite and moderate malachite, assayed 1.28% Cu and sample D-723507, with 20% sulphides, assayed 2.12% Cu. On August 23, an example of mineralized float, D-723469, was collected while performing the reconnaissance VLF-EM surveying in the valley (elevation 1,620 meters) below the 428 Central veining. This sample contained 10% chalcopyrite and 1% bornite and a Cu content of 4.12%. Two weak Fraser Filtered VLF-EM anomalies flank the location where this sample was collected. All samples taken were photographic and GPS location taken plus a metal sample tag left in place for future reference if required. All this data plus the assay results were geotagged and placed in a .kml /.kmz file for use such as google earth for easy reference.
