Interra Increases Stars Property Land Packgage by 5,932 Hectares Through Staking

October 18, 2024 – TheNewswire – VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Interra Copper Corp. (CSE: IMCX; OTCQB: IMIMF; FRA: 3MX) (“Interra” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has acquired 5,932 hectares (“ha”) of prospective ground adjoining the Stars Property (Figure 1). On October 7th Interra announced that it had entered into a mineral claims purchase agreement with Aurwest Resources Corporation to acquire a 100% right, title, and interest in the Stars Property, an early-stage porphyry copper-molybdenum discovery, covering 3,761 ha in central British Columbia. The newly staked ground adds to the overall mineral potential and strategic value of the Stars Property, covering an additional mineral showing and prominent geophysical anomaly (Figure 2), as well as nearby road-accessible areas that may have new bedrock exposures due to logging activities. The combined Stars Project claims now cover 9,693 ha.

Brian Thurston, President & CEO of Interra, commented: “We are pleased to have more than doubled the size of the Stars Property by staking. Staking in British Columbia is the most economical way to acquire mineral tenures, in this case adding shareholder value at very minimal cost. With the expanded land package we see an increased exploration upside, with the inclusion of an additional copper mineral showing, geophysical anomaly and strategic ground accessible via logging roads.”

Details of new claims:

Seven mineral claims covering 5,932 ha of ground adjoining the Stars Property (Figure 1).
Includes the “Big Dipper” magnetic anomaly, which is interpreted to be a continuation of the magnetic anomaly that defines the Stars porphyry project (Figure 2).
Includes the GSC1971-13 copper showing (Figure 2; BC MinFile #093L181), comprising malachite and chalcocite in calcite veins within red vesicular volcanic rocks of the Hazelton Group.
Includes adjacent, road accessible, under-explored ground that may have bedrock exposures that could aid in understanding the context of the Stars porphyry mineral system or be affected by extensions of that mineral system.

The Big Dipper Anomaly

The Big Dipper magnetic anomaly is continuous with the high magnetic intensity zone that encircles the Stars porphyry Cu-Mo mineral system (Figure 2). The magnetic high extends approximately 3.1 km to the northeast of the previous property boundary and is now fully encompassed by mineral claims 100% owned by Interra Copper (pending completion of the Stars Property purchase agreement). Drilling at the Stars porphyry has delineated an approximately 1.8 X 1.0 km area that is underlain by a large altered and weakly mineralized intrusion, with local domains of higher-grade mineralization at the Tana Zone (e.g. 0.466% Cu over 195.07 m* in drill hole DD18SS004 from 23.47 m), and the Libra Zone (e.g. 0.153% Cu over 91.45 m* in drill hole DD18SS05 from 279.50 m). Both of these mineralized zones are located in areas characterized by low magnetic intensity, encircled by the broader magnetic high. Similar domains of lower magnetic intensity surrounded by high magnetic intensity that have never been tested by drilling are present within the Big Dipper anomaly (Figure 2).

* The true width of historical drill intersections referenced in this news release are not known. Historical drill data in this news release is derived from previous exploration activities conducted by other parties. While this data may provide insights into the mineralization potential on the property, it should not be relied upon as conclusive evidence of mineral potential or project viability.
