Canada One Mining has expanded its Copper Dome project in Princeton, British Columbia (BC) with the addition of 1,728ha of land holdings named Copper Dome East.
With this addition, the total size of the land position at Copper Dome has now increased to 7,997ha.

The company’s immediate focus remains on the Boundary Zone, which is located just south of the Copper Mountain Mine and 1.5km from the mine’s super pit.
This new claim group, staked by the company, is contiguous to the existing project and will be explored for porphyry copper and molybdenum mineralisation.
Canada One Mining is currently awaiting its drill permit, which is expected to be granted shortly.
The expansion covers an area with two historically identified mobile metal ion (MMI) anomalies.
The first is a copper-silver anomaly, approximately 2.9km long and 1.3–1.9km wide, while the second is a molybdenum anomaly, around 2.1km long and 400–900m wide.
The Copper Dome Project is situated within the lower portion of the Quesnel Trough porphyry belt, a prolific mining district that includes several established mines.
Past exploration at the project has also confirmed the presence of palladium, platinum and gold mineralisation on the property.
The exploration history of the project includes airborne magnetics flown over the entire area, 51km of induced polarisation surveyed, as well as airborne magnetics and electro-magnetics surveyed over half of the project area.
Additionally, 2,253 soil and 378 rock samples have been collected, with more than 8.9km of diamond drilling and more than 1km of trenching conducted.
