In June 2023, Vizsla Copper acquired a 100% interest in the 37,466-hectare Copperview Project, located in the Aspen Grove area of south-central BC.
The Copperview Project consists of 37,466 hectares in 40 claims, located less than 4 kilometres north (and along trend) of Kodiak Copper’s Gate Zone discovery.
A block of seven claims comprising 9,043 contiguous hectares is considered the highest priority and will likely see significant exploration effort in the near term. This block is considered highly prospective for copper/gold porphyry-related mineralization due to its proximity to the Gate Zone at MPD, which is on trend with and less than 4 kilometres to the south of the Copperview Project.
Discovered by Kodiak Copper in 2019, drilling at the Gate Zone has outlined a large 350m x 1km x 900m zone of copper/gold porphyry-related mineralization. The best drill intersection to date is 535.1m @ 0.49% Cu, 0.29 g/t Au from 201.9m in drill hole MPD-20-041.
The Copperview Project claim block is interpreted to be underlain by eastern facies Upper Triassic Nicola volcanics with local coeval intrusions – similar to MPD, and the Copper Mountain and New Afton mines.
Copperview is a high-priority project, and exploration is expected to begin later this year.
