Super Copper Reports Copper in Every Hole at El Alto as First Assays Hit 2.56% CuEq

The maiden drill program in Chile's Atacama Region returned modest widths with high-grade streaks, as the company traces an 800-metre structural corridor with four more holes at the lab.

Super Copper Reports Copper in Every Hole at El Alto as First Assays Hit 2.56% CuEq

First drill programs rarely deliver the whole story, but they do show whether there is one worth telling.

Super Copper Corp. (CSE: CUPR; OTCQB: CUPPF; FSE: N60) released its first assays from the El Alto target at its Cordillera Cobre Project on November 10, and the answer is a qualified yes: copper in all four assayed holes, a high-grade streak above 2% copper, and a deep hole whose last sample was still mineralized.

The best hole, DH26CC-002, cut 19.2 metres of 0.34% copper and 3.3 g/t silver (0.38% CuEq) from 310.0 metres downhole, including 1.3 metres of 2.21% copper and 24.7 g/t silver (2.56% CuEq). Above the main zone it crossed copper-bearing structures grading 6.0 metres at 0.10% copper, including 1.1 metres at 0.39%, and its final sample at 501.9 metres graded 0.23% copper. Nothing below that has been tested, which is why the company describes the system as open at depth.

Hole DH26CC-003 found copper much closer to surface: 10.0 metres of 0.49% copper and 6.0 g/t silver (0.58% CuEq) from 110.0 metres downhole, about 80 metres below surface, including 2.0 metres of 1.08% copper and 15.7 g/t silver (1.30% CuEq). A second intercept in the same hole, with a pierce point roughly 150 metres northeast of hole 2, returned 1.1 metres at 0.13% copper.

The other two holes were thinner. DH26CC-001 returned 18.0 metres at 0.12% copper, including 4.0 metres at 0.26% from 298 metres, plus 2.0 metres at 0.21% from 344 metres, before drilling difficulties ended it at 502.7 metres. DH26CC-004 returned 6.0 metres at 0.11% copper, including 0.9 metres at 0.46% copper with 5.5 g/t silver. Intervals use a 0.1% copper cut-off with up to 4 metres of internal dilution, all widths are drilled core lengths, and true widths have not been determined. CuEq assumes US$5.20/lb copper, US$50/oz silver and 80% recovery for both metals, a recovery the company notes has not been established by test work.

The geology is where the company is placing its bet. Super Copper interprets El Alto as a structurally controlled, manto-style system along a northwest-trending zone about 800 metres long on the axis of a syncline, with copper hosted in veins, breccias and fracture fills within permeable tuff layers of a folded volcanic sequence. Chalcocite in calcite veinlets carries the grade, silver runs at about 10 to 15 g/t for every 1% copper in the main zones, and cyanide-soluble copper accounted for 87% to 100% of total copper in holes 2 through 4, consistent with secondary copper sulphides. Location helps too: El Alto is 43 kilometres by road from Copiapó, with trucking access to processing plants and a port.

CEO Zachary Dolesky called it what you want from a first program: "copper in every hole assayed, grade above 2% copper." He added, "This is the start of the story at El Alto." That headline claim leans partly on the eye, not the lab: holes 5 through 8 have logged copper-bearing mineralization visually, but their assays are still pending, and visual estimates are no substitute for grades. More than 3,850 metres have been drilled so far, a ninth hole is underway, and results are expected through the rest of the year, followed by step-outs along strike and at depth.

The caveats are significant. The widths so far are narrow and the grades bulk-tonnage at best outside the short high-grade streaks; the 2.56% CuEq interval is 1.3 metres long. Two of four holes returned only low-grade copper. There is no mineral resource, no metallurgical test work, and the structure's geometry and true thickness are still being worked out. What the program has shown is a mineralized structure the company can trace between holes and a deep end that has not been closed off. What it has not shown yet is size.

The technical information was reviewed and approved by Michael Dufresne, M.Sc., P.Geol., P.Geo., the qualified person under NI 43-101. Core was logged and sampled by APEX Geoscience and assayed by ALS using four-acid digestion with an ICP-MS finish, with ore-grade re-assays on over-limit copper samples and certified standards, blanks and duplicates inserted.
