NovaRed Mining Inc. (CSE: NRED) (OTCQB: NREDF) ("NovaRed" or the "Company") is pleased to report a new geological interpretation of its Wilmac Copper-Gold Project (the "Project") in British Columbia's Quesnel porphyry belt. The interpretation is derived from surface geology, property-wide magnetic data and sub-surface data from the 2024 3DIP/AMT geophysical survey on the local Lamont grid. Together, these datasets are interpreted to suggest numerous small intrusions exposed at surface may represent the upper portions of multiple potential copper-gold porphyry systems connected to a much larger interpreted intrusive body, or batholith, at depth.
The large regional magnetic anomaly underlying the Project is interpreted to potentially represent a multi-phase batholith approximately 18 kilometres in diameter. More specifically, the anomaly is approximately 18 km east-northeast by west-southwest. It appears to have been segmented into three north-northwest - south-southeast domains: with the Copper Mountain domain approximately 13.1 km in length, the Whipsaw domain approximately 12.7 km and the Lamont domain approximately 8.7 km, with each domain approximately 5.7 km in width. The interpreted anomaly extends beyond the boundaries of the Project. The total area underlain by the Total Magnetic Intensity anomaly is a minimum of 188 km 2 , with approximately 46 km 2 captured by the property.
Rather than targeting the entire large magnetic anomaly, NovaRed's exploration strategy is focused on identifying the smaller intrusive "pipes" and "cupolas" extending upward from the interpreted batholith. These structures may have acted as pathways for mineral-rich hydrothermal fluids and therefore represent priority targets for copper-gold exploration.
"What changes with this interpretation is the number of things worth testing," said Brian Goss, Chief Executive Officer of NovaRed Mining Inc. "There is potentially a very large intrusive complex at depth, but the copper-gold targets we are looking for are much smaller structures extending upward from it. Across the Project we see small diorite and gabbro intrusions at surface, magnetic anomalies and pipe-like geophysical features at depth. We are not looking at a single target that either works or does not. We are looking at several spatially separate intrusive centres, each large enough that, if any one of them carries copper-gold mineralization, would be tested as its own program. That is a different risk profile from a single-target property, and it is why we have four additional geophysical surveys proposed rather than one."
The Company's geological interpretations of the Project operate at three nested scales, and the following is intended to relate them to one another. At the regional scale, total magnetic intensity data outline a composite batholith interpreted to have been segmented and vertically displaced across the Boundary and Whipsaw faults; the Project covers the western, down-dropped segments of that feature, and the Copper Mountain camp lies on the upthrown eastern block.
