High-Grade Copper & Gold Zones At The Yuma King

VANCOUVER - Corcel Exploration Inc. reported the discovery of multiple high-grade copper and gold zones as part of its inaugural Phase 1 exploration program at the Yuma King Project in Arizona. Results include rock samples grading up to 11.60% copper and 17.15 g/t gold, and soil anomalies outlining a 1.2 km mineralized corridor around the historic Yuma King deposit. Comprehensive surface sampling program consisted of 2,263 soil and 303 rock samples over a 20 km² area around the Yuma King Mine and represents the first systematic property-scale soil and rock sampling survey to be conducted on the property. High-grade copper and gold in rock sample assays up to 11.60% Cu (copper) and 17.15 g/t Au (gold) from outcrop confirm strong mineralization across multiple target areas.

Large-scale soil anomalies-soil geochemistry defines a 1.2 km Cu-Au-Mo anomaly around the Yuma King Mine, plus new targets west of the mine. Historic workings and anomalous results in the YK West area suggest the presence of unrecognized porphyry-skarn systems.

New gold zone discovery a distinct 400-metre-long gold trend, with assays up to 6.12 g/t Au, has been identified in pyrite-bearing quartzite, previously unreported in historic documents. Preparation for Phase 2 underway as crews will mobilize shortly for Phase 2 exploration, which will include drone magnetics and detailed follow-up mapping to refine drill targets.

"The first systematic sampling program at Yuma King marks an important step in unlocking the project's potential," commented, Jon Ward, CEO . "The results have highlighted high-grade copper and gold rock mineralization and large-scale soil anomalies across the project and uncovered a new gold zone. Having demonstrated the strength and scale of mineralization across multiple targets, including the past producing Yuma King Mine and new, relatively unexplored porphyry-skarn and gold zones. We are now preparing for Phase 2 of exploration, which will provide the additional data we need to define drill targets."
