en.Wedoany.com Reported - White Cliff Minerals (ASX:WCN) has announced that its first diamond drill hole at the Danvers target of the Rae Copper Mine Project in Nunavut, Canada, has intersected over 73 meters of visible copper sulfide mineralization.

Diamond drill hole DAN26025 was designed to test the geological and structural controls near DAN26012—which previously returned 19.81 meters at 6.64% copper. This drill hole intersected over 73 meters of visible chalcocite and chalcopyrite mineralization, extending the known mineralization approximately 50 meters to the northeast.

White Cliff Managing Director Troy Whittaker stated that the first diamond drill hole in the Teshierpi Fault Zone "substantially improved the company's understanding of the system's architecture." He noted that the drill hole intersected over 70 meters of copper sulfide mineralization.

Drill hole DAN26020, located 550 meters from the main Danvers 1 mineralized zone, returned 19.81 meters at 0.72% copper from a depth of 111.25 meters, including 1.53 meters at 2.39% copper and 3.05 meters at 1.11% copper. This drill hole extends mineralization southwestward into the 2026 discovery area of the Teshierpi Fault Zone.

The Danvers 1 mineralized zone now has a strike length of 1,037 meters. The first phase of regional drilling activities covering a 12,000-meter strike is still scheduled for completion in July.

Multiple sample assay results are still pending, including those from drill holes DAN26022 and DAN26024—which are wide-spaced holes to the north and northeast that intersected broad copper sulfide mineralization layers. Assay results from the diamond drilling are expected within four to six weeks.
