Vancouver, BC – Coast Copper Corp. (“Coast Copper” or the “Company”; TSX-V: COCO) is pleased to announce that it has recently expanded its Knob Hill NW property on northern Vancouver Island and its Home Brew property in southcentral British Columbia (“BC”). In addition to the recent staking, the Company also provides an update on the results from its annual general meeting (“AGM”) held on Thursday, December 7, 2023.
Knob Hill NW Property Expansion
The Knob Hill NW property is located on northern Vancouver Island, approximately 60 kilometres (“km”) northwest of its optioned Empire Mine property. The property is located at the western end of a 50 km trend that originates at the past producing Island Copper Mine¹ and passes through NorthIsle Copper & Gold Inc.’s project¹ and onto the Knob Hill NW property. The new staking more than doubles the current property size and was completed due in part to the recent news results of NorthIsle (see Figure 1).
Home Brew Property Expansion
The Company significantly expanded its Home Brew property in southcentral BC, adjacent to Gold Mountain Mining Corp.’s producing Elk Gold project¹ and internal to their mineral claim holdings. The Home Brew property covers three known mineral occurrences (Brew, Annie Oakley and Toe) hosting polymetallic vein and porphyry copper gold targets with historical results up to 2.43 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold from narrow quartz veins and broad (approximately 2 km wide) copper anomalies (greater than 189 parts per million copper) in till soils² (see Figure 2).
Adam Travis, Coast Copper CEO comments: “I’m very pleased that we were able to expand both our Knob Hill NW and Home Brew properties by claim staking. Both properties are located in active exploration and/or mining areas and cover prospective zones on trend which is highlighted by mineral occurrences, similar geology and geophysical anomalies. The area around our Scottie West property (in the Golden Triangle) has also been quite active with Teuton Resources Corp. announcing some exciting surface results. While Coast Copper remains focused on the optioned Empire Mine property, we continue to advance our other strategically located projects in a cost-effective manner.”
