Faraday Copper Reports 33.77 metres at 3.43% Copper within 65.20 meters at 1.88% Copper at Copper Creek in Arizona

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / January 31, 2023 / Faraday Copper Corp. ("Faraday" or the "Company") (TSX:FDY) (OTCQX:CPPKF) is pleased to announce the results from two drill holes at its Copper Creek Project, located in Arizona, U.S. ("Copper Creek").

Paul Harbidge, President and CEO, commented "The continued success of our Phase II drill program is extremely encouraging as it confirms our view that there is significant upside to the existing Mineral Resource Estimate. This high-grade drill hole demonstrates the potential to grow the open pit mineralization at Copper Creek."

Highlights

  • Intersected 33.77 metres ("m") at 3.43% copper and 2.53 grams per tonne ("g/t") silver from 38.10 m at the Copper Knight breccia in drill hole FCD-22-016 (Table 1, Figures 1, 2).
  • This interval is within a longer intersection of 65.20 m at 1.88% copper and 1.56 g/t silver from 38.10 m.
  • The Copper Knight breccia is part of a cluster of mineralized breccias, which includes Copper Giant, Copper Prince, and Copper Duchess (Figure 1).

Drill hole FCD-22-016 was collared north of Copper Knight and drilled to the southeast, closing a gap in historical drilling. The high-grade mineralization is located at the contact between granodiorite porphyry and hydrothermal breccia, where there is increased permeability. Mineralization remains open at depth.

Note: The open pit shell is based on constraints used in the MRE as presented in the report titled "NI 43-101 Technical Report Mineral Resource Estimate Copper Creek Project, Arizona" dated August 18, 2022 (the "Technical Report").

Drill hole FCD-22-011 was collared at the Glory Hole breccia and drilled to the west where previous drill coverage is low. No mineralized intervals of more than 5 m length were identified in this hole. The first 30 m of the drill hole intersected breccia and a leached cap characterized by iron oxides after sulphides, but no significant copper mineralization. Two consecutive samples from 63.36 to 67.70 m yielded 0.29% and 0.41% copper, respectively, and a single 2-metre-wide sample with 1.14 g/t silver and 0.21% copper is present at 210.75 m. These results suggest that the mineral system remains open at depth and to the west of the Glory Hole breccia.

Next Steps

Phase II drilling continues and is focussed on three objectives:

  • Reconnaissance drilling on new targets;
  • Expanding the MRE; and
  • Better delineating high-grade mineralized zones.

Fourteen drill holes have been completed and the results for three drill holes have been released to date. The assay results for additional completed drill holes will be released as they are received, analyzed and confirmed by the Company.

Sampling Methodology, Chain of Custody, Quality Control and Quality Assurance

All sampling was conducted under the supervision of the Company's geologists and the chain of custody from Copper Creek to the independent sample preparation facility, ALS Laboratories in Tucson, AZ, was continuously monitored. The samples were taken as ½ core, over 2 m core length. Samples were crushed, pulverized and sample pulps were analyzed using industry standard analytical methods including a 4-Acid ICP-MS multielement package and an ICP-AES method for high-grade copper samples. Gold was analyzed on a 30 g aliquot by fire assay with an ICP-AES finish. A certified reference sample was inserted every 20th sample. Coarse blanks were inserted every 20th sample. Approximately 5% of the core samples were cut into ¼ core and submitted as field duplicates. On top of internal QA-QC protocol, additional blanks, reference materials and duplicates were inserted by the analytical laboratory according to their procedure. Data verification of the analytical results included a statistical analysis of the standards and blanks that must pass certain parameters for acceptance to ensure accurate and verifiable results.
