White Cliff Minerals (ASX: WCN) has reported substantial copper intersections at its Rae project in Nunavut, Canada. Reverse circulation drilling at the Danvers prospect confirmed the potential for expansion of the existing resource. Managing Director Troy Whittaker highlighted that improved geological understanding has revealed a system extending over 175 meters vertically and potentially 7 kilometers in strike length.
Drilling at Danvers produced a significant copper intersection of 175 meters at 2.5% copper from 7.6 meters, with the hole concluding in 4.46% copper. Whittaker stated this ranks among the most significant copper intersections globally in the last 50 years. The company believes that the mineralization, starting from the surface, could support open-pit mining. With an open-water port less than 80km from the deposit, White Cliff is poised to benefit from global copper supply constraints. Follow-up drilling is planned to delineate the mineralized boundaries.
