Kobrea Exploration has secured exploration permits from the British Columbia Ministry of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation for its Upland Copper Project in Canada.

Located in south-central British Columbia, the 5,300-hectare project is known for its copper-dominant, remobilised polymetallic volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposit, which presents opportunities for expansion.

The approval to Kobrea’s exploration plan allows activities such as diamond drilling and trenching.

Kobrea plans to utilise these permits to further explore the deposit, which historical drilling suggests is open to depth and expansion.

Currently, crews are conducting passive seismic surveys on-site to prepare for the upcoming trenching activities.

These surveys will inform the subsequent trenching work, which is set to follow the data collection and processing phase.

The Upland Copper Project boasts a significant polymetallic VMS deposit.

Historical drilling at the site revealed that the mineralisation extends to depth, with some holes ending in copper mineralisation.

An extensive area of copper-in-soil anomalies, measuring 3,700m by 1,000m, extends southward from the historical drilling sites, indicating that a large portion of the anomaly remains untested.

Additionally, previous operators have identified a 4km by 1.2km chargeability high anomaly through induced polarisation surveys, highlighting the project’s potential for further discoveries.

The Upland project is located 20km north-east of the town of Barriere and 20km south of Taseko Mines’ Yellowhead Project in south-central British Columbia.

This year, Kobrea plans to use the airborne surveys and all compiled historical data to expand the known copper mineralisation within the favourable host unit at the Upland project.
