Copper One Resources Corp. has commenced a detailed geological study of drill core from the recently completed Phase 1 program at its flagship Majuba Hill Copper-Silver-Gold Project in Pershing County, Nevada.

The Phase 1 program added 4,015 feet of core drilling to the property, bringing cumulative drilling at the exploration-stage project to approximately 93,410 feet.

The study combines detailed core logging with petrographic analysis, including thin-section preparation and grain-scale examination of mineral assemblages, alteration relationships, breccia textures, and sulphide distribution.

“The recently completed Phase 1 drill program has provided important new geological information from the Majuba Hill system,” said David Greenway, President and CEO of Copper One. “Through detailed core logging, thin-section petrography and grain-scale analysis, we expect to improve our understanding of the alteration, mineralizing events and structural controls observed in the drilling. The results will help refine our geological model and guide the selection and orientation of targets for the planned Phase 2 drill program.”

Visual observations from the drilling have identified minerals including pyrrhotite, pyrite, and chalcopyrite, though assay results remain pending. Copper One plans to integrate the incoming analytical data and petrographic findings into its three-dimensional geological model to refine target geometry ahead of the 2026 Phase 2 drill program.
