Alpha Copper Introduces Star Project and Agreement with Tahltan Central Government

30.03.2023  |  GlobeNewswire

VANCOUVER, March 30, 2023 - Alpha Copper Corp. (CSE: ALCU) (OTC: ALCUF) (FWB: PP0) ("Alpha," "Alpha Copper," or the "Company") a resource sector enterprise founded to create value through mineral exploration, technical development, and asset acquisition, is pleased to introduce the Star Project located in northwestern BC to its shareholders. The Company has an option to acquire 100% of the Star Project, is situated in the traditional territory of the Tahltan Central Government (TCG). Alpha further announces that it has signed a Communications and Engagement Agreement with the TCG (the "Agreement").

The Agreement provides direction to the parties for ongoing discussions and engagement regarding Alpha's Star porphyry-style copper-gold Project, as well as providing a framework for sharing of information and open dialogue with transparent communication regarding Alpha's activities in Tahltan Territory. The Company recognizes the importance of developing a constructive and respectful relationship with the TCG concerning the Company's economic activities within Tahltan Territory and acknowledges the role of the TCG in keeping its members informed of the ongoing or potential economic activities occurring within Tahltan Territory.

"We are pleased to have entered into this agreement with the TCG prior to starting exploration activities. This is the first step to a respectful and constructive collaboration as we explore for copper and gold in Tahltan Traditional Territory," stated Darryl Jones, CEO of Alpha. "The Star Project was the impetus for our acquisition of CAVU Energy Metals in 2022 and is a porphyry project of merit. The project contains a prospective porphyry system that has been tested to 664 m below surface and remains open at depth. The Project is in the Golden Triangle of BC, a region that is world-renowned for its endowment of copper and precious metals. We are looking forward to our first drilling program later this year."

About the Star Project

The Star Project is 6,829 Ha and located about 50 km of the community of Telegraph Creek, in the territory of the TCG (Figure 2). Regionally, the property is within the Stikine Arch (see Figure 3), an important geological region that hosts numerous large porphyry copper-gold projects (e.g., Red Chris and Galore Creek deposits1, respectively 135 km southeast and 105 km southwest of the property; Figures 2 and 3). Access to the Star Project is through a fixed-wing airstrip on site and a network of trails and drill-roads. Camp facilities are on-site and were last used in 2014. The project is permitted for drilling until March 31, 2026.

  • Historical Drill results include:
    • CC2004-05: 242.3 m @ 0.44 % Cu, 0.32 g/t Au from surface.
    • S045: 106.98 m @ 0.77% Cu, 0.407 g/t Au, 1.02 g/t Ag from 12.02 m.
    • S048: 76.94 m @ 0.78% Cu, 0.55 g/t Au, 1.28 g/t Ag from 2.06 m.
    • S048: 288 m @ 0.33% Cu, 0.149 g/t Au, 0.56 g/t Ag from 123 m.
    • S049: 324 m @ 0.44% Cu, 0.219 g/t Au, 0.74 g/t Ag from 4 m.
  • 5 confirmed and permitted drill-ready porphyry targets defined.
  • Supergene enriched zone preserved (see Figure 1)

Star Targets
The Star Property has been explored since the 1950s with a total of 18,739 m of drilling since 1955. The main Star target is the most developed to date and has been the subject of several drill programs. The property also contains several less developed targets; all targets are shown in Figure 4 and summarized below.
