More strong drilling results to feed into coming resource update Chibougamau Copper-Gold Project, Canada

 

 

 

 

 

Results such as 4.4% CuEq over 9.1m at the Project’s flagship Corner Bay deposit; These follow the recent high-grade results at the nearby Golden Eye prospect

 

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Latest infill results from Corner Bay demonstrate continuous high-grade mineralisation:
    • 9.1m @ 4.4% CuEq (4.1% Cu, 0.3g/t Au & 14.4g/t Ag) (CB-25-118)
      • Including 3.4m @ 7.6% CuEq (7.0% Cu, 0.4g/t Au & 24.9g/t Ag)
    • 5.8m @ 5.3% CuEq (4.4% Cu, 0.8g/t Au & 28.1g/t Ag) (CB-25-122)
    • 2.8m @ 5.0% CuEq (4.6% Cu, 0.4g/t Au & 14.6g/t Ag) (CB-25-119)
    • 2.8m @ 4.1% CuEq (3.8% Cu, 0.2g/t Au & 16.3g/t Ag) (CB-25-120)
  • These results highlight the strong potential to grow the Indicated Resource as part of the upcoming Mineral Resource update on the Chibougamau Project, which is scheduled for completion in the September quarter
  • The current Corner Bay Indicated Resource is 2.7Mt at 2.9% CuEq and the Inferred Resource is 5.9Mt at 3.6% CuEq1
  • Infill drilling is almost complete on the shallowest parts of the Corner Bay deposit; this area is expected to help underpin the early part of any production schedule at the Project
  • The Corner Bay results follow the recently announced high-grade assays from the Golden Eye prospect (see ASX release dated 10 June 2025), where Cygnus expects to complete an initial resource to be included in the overall Project Mineral Resource update
  • The current total Mineral Resource for the Project is comprised of Measured and Indicated Resources of 3.6Mt at 3% CuEq and Inferred Resources of 7.2Mt at 3.8% CuEq1
  • Early engineering studies and permitting are underway
  • The Project has a significant head start as a copper-gold development opportunity with well-established infrastructure including a 900,000tpa processing facility

 

Cygnus Executive Chairman David Southam said: “These latest results reinforce Cygnus’ understanding of the high-grade and continuous nature of the mineralisation at Corner Bay, and support our goal of upgrading more tonnes into the Indicated category.

“This will enable us to assess the production potential and economic outlook for the Project with increased certainty. Given the resource growth potential with the high-grade drill results to date, the record gold prices and strong copper fundamentals, we are extremely keen to conduct updated studies. And the outlook is even better when you remember that this is a pure copper-gold story with potential silver credits and an existing processing plant in a tier-one location”.y with potential silver credits and an existing processing plant in a tier-one location”.

 

 

Cygnus Metals Limited (ASX: CY5) (TSX-V: CYG) (OTCQB: CYGGF) is pleased to announce infill results from Corner Bay as the Company continues to execute its resource growth and conversion strategy at the Chibougamau Copper-Gold Project in Quebec.

 

The recent results are from infill drilling on the upper main vein, which will likely be scheduled into the early part of the potential production profile of the Project. Recent results include significant intersections of:

  • 9.1m @ 4.4% CuEq (4.1% Cu, 0.3g/t Au & 14.4g/t Ag) (CB-25-118);
    • Including 3.4m @ 7.6% CuEq (7.0% Cu, 0.4g/t Au & 24.9g/t Ag);
  • 5.8m @ 5.3% CuEq (4.4% Cu, 0.8g/t Au & 28.1g/t Ag) (CB-25-122);
  • 2.8m @ 5.0% CuEq (4.6% Cu, 0.4g/t Au & 14.6g/t Ag) (CB-25-119); and
  • 2.8m @ 4.1% CuEq (3.8% Cu, 0.2g/t Au & 16.3g/t Ag) (CB-25-120).

 

These results will be incorporated in the upcoming Mineral Resource update as Cygnus seeks to convert Inferred Resources to Indicated Resources, with recent results reconciling well against the current block model. The Mineral Resource upgrade at Corner Bay is being completed in conjunction with new resource growth prospects such as Golden Eye. These are aimed at growing the current global resource, which stands at a Measured and Indicated Resource of 3.6Mt at 3% CuEq and Inferred Resources of 7.2Mt at 3.8% CuEq.1 The global Mineral Resource update for the Project is expected in Q3 2025, targeting both resource growth and conversion.

 

With work on the resource well advanced, Cygnus is also progressing the Project along the pathway to development, in line with its value creation strategy. This work includes early geotechnical studies across potential development sites as well as advancing long-lead permitting items. This work aims to streamline and accelerate future study work.

 

The Chibougamau area has well-established infrastructure giving the Project a significant head start as a copper-gold development opportunity. This infrastructure includes a 900,000tpa processing facility, local mining town, sealed highway, airport, regional rail infrastructure and 25kV hydro power to the processing site. Significantly, the Chibougamau processing facility is the only base metal processing facility within a 250km radius which includes a number of other advanced copper and gold projects.

Ongoing Drilling

 

Cygnus is continuing its dual track strategy of resource growth and conversion. Work is in progress to generate additional drill targets surrounding the current high-grade copper-gold resource which can be targeted through low-risk brownfield exploration. Such work includes ongoing data compilation which is playing a significant role in unlocking this historic district.
