White Cliff Minerals Limited (WCN) has released new assay and drilling results from its Danvers project, confirming significant copper mineralisation over a 5.4-kilometre strike. The latest data indicates the potential for a 7-kilometre mineralised structure, with exploration efforts now targeting a 10-kilometre district-scale system.

The company’s first diamond drillhole at the site, DAN26026, intersected 91.35 metres of chalcocite and bornite-bearing copper sulphides. This hole confirmed that the mineralisation is hosted within chlorite-altered chaotic breccias. Further assay results from the broader campaign continue to show high-grade potential, including an intercept of 41.5 metres at 0.87% copper, which featured a higher-grade zone of 9.14 metres at 3.06% copper. Other recent holes, such as DAN26030, have visually identified over 144 metres of copper sulphides, further validating the presence of bornite and chalcocite across the project area.

To support the advancement of these targets, the company has secured A$6.5 million through the successful completion of an underwritten option conversion. These funds are earmarked to accelerate the ongoing exploration program, specifically allowing for expanded infill and extensional drilling as the geological team refines its understanding of the structural controls within the Teshierpi Fault Zone.

Looking ahead, White Cliff Minerals remains on track to complete its Phase 1 regional spaced drilling campaign across a 12,000-metre strike by the end of July 2026. Management is also awaiting laboratory assay results for several key drillholes, including DAN26025 and DAN26030, which are expected to provide further clarity on the scale and grade of the system. These results will be used to guide future drill targeting and inform the eventual development of maiden exploration targets and a formal mineral resource estimate as the project progresses toward long-term definition.
