Oreterra Metals announced the start of a 5,000-metre drill program at its Trek project in British Columbia’s Golden Triangle. Seven holes are planned at the previously undrilled Trek South target to test an approximately 1,000-metre-wide induced-polarization chargeability and resistivity anomaly. An eighth hole is planned for an IP target associated with outcropping copper-tungsten mineralization about 300 metres to the northeast. One drill is currently operating at Trek South, while a second rig is in transit and expected to begin work in about a week.
Oreterra is also conducting sampling and mapping at the Tundra and Toe zones, located about 600–1,000 metres west of Trek South. The Toe Zone hosts several one-to-four-metre-thick horizons of high-grade massive-sulphide copper-gold-silver-zinc-antimony mineralization across a 130-metre-wide exposure series. The company plans its first IP survey over the most prospective area later this month to define potential future drill targets; this survey and any subsequent drilling have not yet been completed.
