Quetzal Copper Receives Drill Permit for Princeton Copper Project, British Columbia

Quetzal Copper Receives Drill Permit for Princeton Copper Project, British Columbia

Quetzal Copper Corp. (TSXV: Q) (‘Quetzal’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to provide an update that it received a permit that allows drilling to commence at the Company’s Princeton Copper Project in British Columbia, Canada. The 11,500-hectare property sits between the Hudbay Minerals and Mitsubishi owned Copper Mountain Mine and the town of Princeton.

CEO Matt Badiali said, ‘Princeton is the project that originally convinced us to create Quetzal Copper. It checks all the boxes for a potential home run project: next to an operating mine, high-grades in historic samples, and drive-up/drive-home targets. Despite being next to a world-class mine, the key targets remain undrilled and present an exciting opportunity for Quetzal shareholders. Historically, the targets were spread over a series of mining claims, worked independently. We are thrilled to have all the claims united now and are moving rapidly to commence drilling a soon as we can.’

The targets at the Princeton Copper project have only two reported historic drill holes. Quetzal’s technical team compiled historic mapping with new geophysics data and four new targets emerged from that data:

Bud South – standout geology, geochemistry and magnetic anomaly with supporting soil geochemical anomaly and trenching and drilling data.Knob Hill – a strong chargeability anomaly beneath cover, downhill from copper-gold in nearby trenches.Aura and Contact – newly identified geophysical targets under till cover.

Bud South

The drill program will follow up on historic drilling at Bud South. The target has a significant copper in soils footprint over a strong magnetic high, with surface trenches exposing porphyry intrusions and alteration. In 1987 the target was drilled with three holes. The first and second holes were abandoned at shallow depths due to bad ground. The third, DD87-3 on the edge of the magnetic high, returned 10.5 metres of 0.18% copper and 0.34 g/t gold.

Our interpretation, supported by recent 3D inversions of magnetic data, is that DD87-3 did not test the core of the target.

Knob Hill

The Knob Hill target is a strong chargeability high anomaly 300 to 600m in diameter under thin cover. It occurs downhill of historic trenching which has exposed chalcopyrite bearing quartz-albite veins. Grab samples from trenches ran 0.6% to 1.2% copper and from 0.55 g/t to 0.99 g/t gold. This target has never been drilled.

Aura and Contact

The Aura and Contact targets are the least explored. They are defined in newly collected geophysical data. Aura appears as an intense apparent magnetic low surrounded by an apparent magnetic-high halo 1.5km in diameter beneath thin till cover. Where covered by the recent IP survey, the halo is a chargeability high. These may be porphyry intrusions with skarn margins which makes them priority copper-magnetite mineralization targets.

First Nations Acknowledgement

Quetzal recognizes that the Princeton Copper Project is located in the traditional unceded territories of the Smelqmix People. We are committed to respect for the land and for the people who reside there.

Cristinas Project Update

Quetzal also reports completion of the phase one exploration and drilling program at the Cristinas project in Chihuahua, Mexico. Quetzal completed three drillholes and a downhole EM (electromagnetic) survey to follow-up on targets generated by surface mapping, sampling, and fixed loop EM surveys. Each hole evaluated prospective conductors defined by the geophysical surveys. Unfortunately, the limited copper mineralization encountered does not justify further exploration at this time.
