Getty West

Getty West represents a satellite deposit opportunity within the Getty land package, hosting. Early drilling has confirmed the presence of copper–molybdenum mineralization and highlights Getty West as a key exploration opportunity.
Location

Getty West is located within the Highland Valley district of British Columbia, in close proximity to Getty North and Getty South and adjacent to Teck’s Highland Valley Copper Mine. The project benefits from established infrastructure, access, and a proven mining jurisdiction.

Geology

Getty West is one of the more advanced opportunities in the Company’s broader, district-scale exploration pipeline and is characterized by a broad porphyry-style system associated with a large, mostly untested IP chargeability anomaly. Drilling has intersected both oxidized and sulphide copper mineralization within a porphyry dike swarm. Notably, drill hole GL96-08 returned 42 m @ 0.26% Cu and 0.02% Mo, and has not been followed up.

Exploration

Exploration to date includes ~3,374 m of diamond drilling (12 holes), detailed geological mapping, and IP, magnetics, and geochemical survey coverage. These programs have outlined multiple high-priority targets in the Getty West area.

Key indicators of upside include:

  • Strong copper and molybdenum anomalies in soils
  • Untested IP chargeability anomalies 
  • Presence of porphyry intrusions

Upcoming work will focus on designing follow-up drilling based on a refined geological, geophysical, and geochemical framework for the target area.
