Kutcho Copper Corp. (TSX-V: KC)(OTC: KCCFF) — currently trading around C$0.12 per share at a sub-C$20M market cap — is advancing its 100%-owned, high-grade Kutcho Copper-Zinc Project located in northwestern British Columbia, Canada.
At 1.1 billion pounds of copper-equivalent (CuEq) contained metal, the feasibility-stage project is one of the few high-grade copper-zinc projects in Canada that could be advanced through to production in a time scale that could benefit from the increasing copper demand related to electrification and decarbonization.
Enhanced drill targeting is ongoing via data interpretation from airborne geophysical surveys (VTEM and ZTEM) completed over the broader Kutcho property with a focus on:
- Potential extensions of the three massive sulphide deposits at Kutcho: Esso, Main, and Sumac.
- Potential new massive sulphide deposits within the vicinity of the known deposits, particularly immediately west of the high-grade Esso deposit.
- Potential for new deposits in areas where the prospective stratigraphy is repeated to the south of the main trend by folding and faulting.
Results to-date confirm the earlier target generation for the 1.9 km by 500 meter Esso West area (along strike and to the west of the high-grade Esso deposit) and reveal additional positive details on other nearby targets (Hamburger and Sumac Gap).
The company intends to drill-test the Esso West target and other key mineralized zones as drill locations are further worked up.
The Kutcho Copper-Zinc Project is a feasibility-stage development project with 22.8 million tonnes in the Measured and Indicated category at 2.26% CuEq representing over 1.1 billion pounds CuEq contained metal.
The project is a highly-accessible, vastly-underexplored VMS-target-rich asset with robust expansion potential with greater than 30 km of strike of primary targets.
The open-pittable, low-cost production project additionally benefits from significant upside potential through resource expansion drilling and infill drilling of the current Inferred resource.
The Kutcho project benefits from robust infrastructure in place, including:
- A fully-functional field camp and airstrip
- 120 km of year-round ground access to be upgraded to a haul road for concentrate transport
- Existing concentrate port facilities within 400 km of paved highway access
The onsite infrastructure at Kutcho is laid out in an efficient manner within a compact site footprint resulting in a favorable layout that should prove key to the company’s low-cost production mining model and ESG initiatives.
Importantly, the Kutcho project is considered a “brownfields” feasibility-stage project, meaning that the main mineralized zones have already been delineated through extensive mapping, sampling, surveying, and drilling.
With an NI 43-101-compliant resource of 1.1 billion pounds CuEq already in place, the main focus going forward will be the further derisking of the Kutcho project through exploration and infill drilling across multiple high-priority and secondary targets, including Esso West, as the company builds toward a positive construction decision.
With copper presently trading above US$4.20 per pound and poised to head even higher over the coming quarters, our own Gerardo Del Real of Junior Resource Monthly caught up with Kutcho Copper CEO Vince Sorace to go over the plans and process for advancing the Kutcho Copper-Zinc Project toward a positive construction decision.
