COMMENT
True North Copper’s Managing Director, Marty Costello said:
“This is a tremendous outcome from the first hole of our initial diamond drilling program at Vero. These drill results are simply stunning, not only returning superb grades but also showcasing the ever-expanding nature of the Vero high grade ore body. With every drillhole, we are increasing our confidence and expanding the extent of the resource. We continue to see encouraging visuals from the holes drilled to-date and look forward to reporting assays in the coming weeks.
Our 100% owned Vero Resource at our Mt Oxide Project offers our valued investors an opportunity to be a part of something special, a large and very high-grade copper and cobalt critical minerals project in a Tier 1 jurisdiction.
TNC is committed to our Mt Oxide Project. This initial drill program is the first significant on-ground exploration undertaken on the Vero Resource since 2012. Copper sulphate production is underway at our Cloncurry based Great Australia Mine and we intend to use cashflows to continue drilling and expanding our Vero Resource.”
