Imperial Mine Exploration Target 2023
SAPPHO EXPLORATION TARGET 2023 - HIGH COPPER POTENTIAL
SELECTIVE GRABS UP TO 9% CU
CU-AU PORPHYRY STYLE MINERALIZATION
HISTORICAL PRODUCTION AT SAPPHO IS LISTED AS 102 TONNES BETWEEN 1916 AND 1918 YIELDING 5.6% CU AND 61.7
G/T AG, WITH SIGNIFICANT PT (NIXON AND ARCHIBALD (2001).
THE 2022 EXPLORATION PROGRAM PROVIDED SIGNIFICANT TARGETS FOR FOLLOW-UP INDICATED BY HIGH-GRADE COPPER
SAMPLES AT SURFACE. ANOMALOUS GEOPHYSICS HAVE ALSO OUTLINED MULTIPLE NEW TARGETS ACROSS THE SAPPHO
PROJECT. THE 2023 EXPLORATION PROGRAM WILL LOOK TO DEFINE THESE TARGETS TO THE DRILL READY STAGE BUILDING
OFF THE SUCCESS TO DATE.
.
2022 EXPLORATION HIGHLIGHTS**
