Copper Mineralization Extended on Cresval's Bridge River Project

 

VANCOUVER, BC - Cresval Capital Corp. reported the discovery of new copper mineralization on the company's 9,660 ha Bridge River copper-gold-molybdenum project, located near Gold Bridge in southwest British Columbia. The 2009 exploration program, including mapping, geochemical sampling, hand trenching and a soil survey, further enhanced the property's potential for hosting a bulk- tonnage porphyry copper, gold, molybdenum deposit. Additional work was scheduled, but the severe forest fires in the area prevented access for much of the exploration season.

The Bridge River project contains at least three copper porphyry showings: Nichol, Russnor and BR. All are hosted by the 12 x 5 kilometre (km) granitic Bridge River Pluton.

The 2009 program extended the known mineralization at the BR showing into the plateau area to the north (Copper Plateau), which is an area more amenable to open pit mining. Results for the soil survey delineated a 450 by 300-750m copper-in-soil anomaly and returned a maximum value of 4120 ppm Cu. The anomaly remains open to the south and east. An isolated soil sample north of the grid returned 1260 ppm Cu, 35 ppb Au and 5.4 ppm Ag.
