White Cliff Minerals Limited has extended the known mineralised trend at the Danvers 1 copper system to 4.75 kilometres along the Teshierpi structural corridor, supported by new assay results from widely spaced step-out drilling.

The latest assays from the project, situated within the Rae project area, confirm continuous copper mineralisation well beyond the original Danvers 1 core. Drillhole DAN26027 returned 17.0 metres at 1.41% copper and 12 g/t silver from 194 metres, collared 225 metres northeast of previous drilling. Further along the trend, hole DAN26031 delivered 14.5 metres at 1.49% copper from 166.5 metres, including a 3.0-metre interval grading 3.96% copper and 18 g/t silver from 169.0 metres. Additionally, hole DAN26035, collared more than 2.5 kilometres northeast of the core, intersected 24.75 metres at 0.43% copper from 110.5 metres, including a 5.0-metre section at 1.21% copper.

The current drill spacing is regional in nature, and further infill work is required to establish the precise geometry, continuity and grade distribution of individual mineralised zones. Previously completed metallurgical testwork at Danvers returned recoveries exceeding 95% for copper and 93% for silver using conventional processing methods.

“The latest assays have transformed the scale of Danvers 1. In a single season, drilling has expanded the copper-bearing trend from 820m to 4.75km, with strong grades returned in step- outs progressively farther northeast. Results of 17m @ 1.41% Cu and 12g/t Ag and 14.5m @ 1.49% Cu, including 3m @ 3.96% Cu and 18g/t Ag, demonstrate that high-grade copper is not confined to the original Danvers 1 core.”

The company is preparing to commence infill diamond drilling within the coming weeks to target gaps between existing regional holes and refine the structural targeting model. White Cliff plans to use the resulting data to evaluate a JORC Exploration Target for the deposit ahead of future resource definition, complementing broader district activity that recently extended the Hulk sediment-hosted copper system across 3.7 kilometres at the Rae project.
