White Cliff Minerals Limited has extended confirmed copper-silver mineralisation at the Danvers 3 prospect to a vertical depth exceeding 280 metres, following assay results from drill hole DAN26030 at the Rae Copper Project.

The scissor hole returned multiple mineralised intervals including 13.86 metres at 1.98% copper and 10.41g/t silver from 226.14 metres, with a higher-grade core of 5.45 metres at 4.36% copper and 23.8g/t silver. The hole also intersected 17.08 metres at 1.89% copper and 7.51g/t silver from 166.9 metres, alongside a deeper intercept of 46.1 metres at 0.67% copper from 334.9 metres.

The final 9.64 metres of DAN26030 returned 1.08% copper and 8.62g/t silver, leaving the system open downhole and at depth. A step-out hole located 449 metres northeast, DAN26034, confirmed strike continuity by returning 1.42 metres at 1.33% copper from 225.29 metres and ending in 1.5 metres at 3.68% copper from 256.5 metres. Assays also identified a pronounced lead-rich metal zonation adjacent to and partially overlapping the deeper copper-silver zone, providing a vector toward the higher-grade components of the system.

Phase 1 delineated massive lateral extent and continuity of mineralisation across Danvers. DAN26030 the latest assay, is particularly important, extending the Danvers 3 system to >280m vertical depth while providing new geological information on its internal metal zonation. These latest results materially strengthen the exploration model at Danvers 3 and provide a strong vector for follow-up diamond drilling targeting the thicker and higher-grade components of the mineralised system at depth and along strike.

Phase 1 drilling across the Danvers license area comprised 44 drill holes for 10,581 metres across 11.8 kilometres of linear strike. Assays are currently pending for 13 drill holes from the Danvers Phase 1 Program.

Following the completion of infill work at Danvers 4, White Cliff Minerals plans to conduct further drilling to expand the mineralised footprint at Danvers 1 and test the broader mineralised trend.
