Exploration Pipeline
Ongoing geological and exploration work has defined seven targets across the Getty Project, expanding Getty's exploration pipeline beyond the Getty North and Getty South resource targets. The targets range from open copper intercepts to undrilled geochemical and geophysical targets, and provide multiple opportunities to discover additional porphyry copper deposits across the Project.
- 7
- New exploration targets across the Getty Project
- 42 m

- 1,805 ha
- New mineral claim application covering the Lux target
- +20,000 m
- Expanded program to test top priority pipeline targets
Getty West
Relogging indicates that mineralization in historical drill hole GN96-08 (42 m of 0.26% Cu, 126 ppm Mo, including 22 m of 0.35% Cu, 148 ppm Mo) consists of disseminated chalcopyrite and molybdenite within a series of porphyry intrusions. The mineralization is located on the fringe of a significant IP chargeability anomaly that projects beneath post-mineral volcanic rocks, providing a target for follow-up exploration.
Dike Swarm
Dike Swarm is an overburden-covered, undrilled area within a broad IP anomaly that extends southeast from the Getty North deposit. Historical drilling along the flank of this 1 km-long target shows ubiquitous propylitic and weak sericitic alteration, commonly associated with strongly anomalous copper values in the hundreds of ppm (parts per million) range.
Bark
A large zone of anomalous copper in pine bark samples underlain by post-mineral cover. The anomaly is considered relevant because similar bark biogeochemical anomalies are associated with the Getty North and Getty South deposits, and the target is considered prospective based on projected mineralization trends and structural features.
Bite
A large zone of anomalous copper in pine bark samples underlain by post-mineral cover. The anomaly is considered relevant because similar bark biogeochemical anomalies are associated with the Getty North and Getty South deposits, and the target is considered prospective based on projected mineralization trends and structural features.
Woods Creek
Woods Creek is an overburden-covered IP (induced polarization) chargeability anomaly and magnetic low extending for more than 2 km. Widely spaced historical drill holes fringing this anomaly encountered abundant disseminated pyrite, potentially part of the alteration halo of a porphyry deposit.
North Glossie
North Glossie is an overburden-covered area with a coincident IP anomaly and magnetic low. Subtle anomalous copper in soil located down-ice, together with copper oxides mapped in nearby bedrock, contribute to the prospectivity of the target. There is no historical drilling in the immediate target area.
Lux
Lux comprises a broad area of localized copper-in-soil anomalies that coincides with narrow intercepts of copper mineralization in historical drill holes. Glacial overburden covers the potential source area up-ice, which remains unexplored. The Company has submitted a new mineral claim application covering this prospective area.

Getty West is one of the more advanced opportunities in the Company's district-scale exploration pipeline, characterized by a broad porphyry-style system associated with a large, mostly untested IP chargeability anomaly. Drilling has intersected both oxidized and sulphide copper mineralization within a porphyry dike swarm.
Exploration to date includes ~3,374 m of diamond drilling (12 holes), detailed geological mapping, and IP, magnetics, and geochemical survey coverage.
Certain historical exploration data has not been independently verified by the Company. The Company considers this information relevant for geological context and exploration targeting purposes, but readers should not place undue reliance on it. Mineralization at Teck's Highland Valley Copper Mine, the Bethlehem Mine or other nearby or regional mineral projects is not necessarily indicative of mineralization at the Getty Project.
