Prosper Gold Expands Cyprus Project to 61,880 Hectares
February 26 2024 - 8:00AM
Prosper Gold Corp. (“
Prosper Gold” or the
“
Company”) (TSXV:PGX) is pleased to announce that
the Company has acquired an additional 60,512 hectares by means of
staking to increase the Cyprus Project land position to 61,880
hectares.
“The acquisition of 150,000 acres of prospective
ground in north-central British Columbia establishes the Cyprus
Project as one of the largest in the region,” commented Peter
Bernier, CEO. “The exploration potential of this newly acquired
ground is bolstered by the presence of significant copper-gold
mineralization at the Kaza and Northstar prospects. We will be
systematically exploring this ground, beginning with a
district-scale ZTEM survey covering 675 km2, generating targets
under cover and at depth.”
The Cyprus Project
The road-accessible Cyprus Project is situated
in north-central British Columbia, Canada (Figure 1). The 61,880
hectare Project includes the historical Kaza and Northstar copper
prospects (see the Company's February 20, 2024 news releases for
details) and is considered a district-scale copper-gold porphyry
exploration Project.
At the historical Kaza copper-gold prospect,
soil samples up to 5.09 gpt gold and 10,000 ppm copper and surface
rock chip samples from 1973 including 0.88% copper, 15.4 gpt gold
and 120 gpt silver over 4.0 metres coincide with a 2,000 metre by
600 area of high IP chargeability and low magnetic response. The
presence of sparse feldspar porphyry dikes and the sulphide
assemblages present at surface suggest copper-gold porphyry
mineralization may exist at depth.
Copper mineralization at the Northstar prospect
consists of vein-hosted and disseminated chalcocite and bornite
within faulted and fractured andesite. Surface trench sampling
results includes 23.0 metres grading 2.1% copper and historical
drilling intercepts include 0.55% copper over 138.2 metres. Zones
of copper mineralization outlined by previous operators at the
Northstar prospect are likely driven by a magmatic-hydrothermal
system in the immediate vicinity.

District-scale Exploration
Upside
A broad valley with very little outcrop exposure
is situated to the southwest of the Kaza and Northstar prospects
(Figure 2). The roughly 15 km wide valley is the manifestation of a
series of northwest-trending faults which represents a
district-scale exploration opportunity in the search for large
copper-gold porphyry deposits. The valley is underlain by a complex
and strong magnetic response related to long-lived intrusive
activity in this portion of the volcano-plutonic arc. The Company
is planning to commission a ZTEM survey covering 675 km2 that will
outline targets in this covered and prospective portion of the
Cyprus Project.
