Constellation Copper hits satellite

Constellation Copper (CCU-T) has cut significant copper in reverse-circulation drill holes at its Flying Diamond target, in southeastern Utah.

Results from three holes of a 13-hole program are highlighted by one hole, 5R-3, which cut 7.5 metres grading 1.39% copper at 84 metres depth, followed by a 24-metre intercept grading 1.09% copper at 159 metres down hole.

Hole 5R-4 cut 6 metres grading 0.86% copper at 87 metres down hole, followed 20 metres farther down hole by 6 metres grading 0.35% copper and at 155 metres down hole, a third intersection graded 0.81% copper over 21 metres.

Hole 5R-5 cut a 21-metre intercept grading 0.8% copper at 76 metres down hole.

The holes are about 60 metres apart. Visible copper mineralization is confined to two Formations, namely Dakota and Burro Canyon.

Assays are pending for four holes and several holes have yet to be drilled. The plan is to test an area about 360 metres squared.

Flying Diamond is about 6.5 km from the construction site of Constellation’s Lisbon Valley copper project. The Lisbon Valley resource totals about 33.3 million tonnes grading 0.5% copper in three deposits.
