Doré Copper Resumes Drilling at the Cedar Bay Property
TORONTO, May 14, 2020 - Dor? Copper Mining Corp. (the "Company" or "Dor? Copper") (TSXV: DCMC) announces that it has resumed drilling at its Cedar Bay property. The Qu?bec Government announced that effective May 11th, 2020 exploration may resume in Qu?bec. Guidelines given by the provincial Department of Public Health and Province’s Committee on Standards, Equity, and Occupational Safety (CNESST) will be followed by the Company and its contractors. The Company has also advised local stakeholders of its restart plans.
The two drill holes that were in progress when drilling stopped on March 24th, have resumed without incident and no changes to the Cedar Bay drill program announced on January 6th, 2020 are anticipated. The program will test the 10-20 zone at the shaft level. The 10-20 zone consists of three parallel veins where previous drilling returned numerous high-grade gold and copper intercepts including 2.4 m grading 19.5 g/t Au and 1.67% Cu in hole CDR-18-02, and 2.4 m grading 15.4 g/t Au and 4.54% Cu in hole CDR-18-03. The drill program will also test the main Cedar Bay vein at depth.
Ernest Mast, President and CEO of Dor? Copper stated, “We are glad to resume our drilling program. The Cedar Bay property has the potential to be one of the highest grade, gold-copper deposits in the world and is located only five kilometers by road from the Company’s Copper Rand mill.”
The Company is using Miiken Drilling as the drilling contractor. Miiken is a joint venture between Chibougamau Diamond Drilling Ltd., the First Nations community of Ouje-Bougoumou and the First Nations community of Mistissini both located in the Eeyou Istchee territory.
