StrategX Elements Corp. announces the discovery of high-grade copper mineralization at its East Arm Copper Project in the Northwest Territories, with surface sampling returning copper values up to 10.1% Cu. The Company has expanded its property position and plans to launch a comprehensive drill-focused exploration program.
StrategX Elements Corp. (CSE: STGX) is thrilled to announce the discovery of high-grade copper mineralization at its East Arm Copper Project ('East Arm'). Recent surface sampling yielded copper values ranging from 1% to 10%, highlighting significant exploration potential within a 2-kilometer corridor of sedimentary-hosted mineralization accessible from Great Slave Lake.
Driven by these promising results, the Company has expanded its property footprint by staking an additional 6,425 hectares in the area. StrategX's copper targets at East Arm are strategically located along a major continental-scale craton margin, hosted in Paleoproterozoic sediments, and are situated on trend with the Pine Point Zinc mine, currently under development by Osisko Metals. The high-grade copper mineralization discovered is hosted in Paleoproterozoic sediments along the Murky Channel Fault, with rock chip samples returning copper values up to 10.1% Cu. This mineralization aligns with a sedimentary-hosted copper deposit model. Notably, the copper mineralization includes chalcocite and covellite, both recognized as key high-grade copper minerals, accompanied by elevated silver values reaching up to 54.5 g/t.StrategX is actively compiling historical exploration data to refine targets and design a comprehensive drill-focused exploration program. Historical surface sampling has reported copper values ranging from 2% to 35% Cu over a 2-kilometer trend. The East Arm Copper Project enjoys excellent accessibility, situated 315 km northeast of Hay River Harbour, a major transportation hub connecting to Alberta via highway. StrategX's mineral claims can be reached by boat, with the nearest community, Łutselk'e, accessible via a 45-minute scheduled flight from Yellowknife. Recent fieldwork on the westernmost area of East Arm has confirmed high-grade copper hosted in brecciated sediments, expanding the known footprint of copper showings. The area has remained largely unexplored since the 1970s, when isolated historical blasted trenches revealed highly anomalous copper values. Historical reports also describe extensive chalcopyrite, bornite, and chalcocite mineralization, though no assay data was recorded. Figure 4 provides photos of high-grade copper mineralization observed in recent surface rock samples collected by the Company. StrategX is excited to advance field exploration at East Arm in the coming months, with the aim of defining drill targets and potentially uncovering a significant high-grade copper deposit in the Northwest Territories.
