Prosper Gold Corp. ("
Prosper Gold" or the
"
Company") (TSXV:PGX) reports that crews and
equipment have been mobilized to the Company’s Cyprus Project in
north-central British Columbia, Canada, to prepare access trails
and drill pads for a diamond drilling program to be completed over
the coming weeks. The Cyprus Project is a district-scale porphyry
copper-gold project with several historically defined copper ± gold
porphyry prospects and significant historical drill results
including 138.2 metres at 0.55% copper.
“Crews are currently constructing access trails
and drill pads for this highly anticipated winter diamond drilling
program,” commented Peter Bernier, CEO. “We are very excited to
drill test Target A. It is a two- by four-kilometre conductivity
anomaly adjacent to a regional fault that coincides with a
pronounced magnetic low, representing a very attractive porphyry
target.”
Numerous multi-kilometre sized porphyry
copper-gold targets were outlined from the Company’s summer 2024
ZTEM survey results (Figures 1 & 2), including Target A. Target
selection was largely based on the coincidence of conductivity
highs and magnetic lows, interpreted to be associated with
high-level porphyry mineralization and alteration. Target A is
characterized as a two- by four-kilometre conductivity high anomaly
that extends from just below surface to depth of greater than 500
metres. This large, pronounced conductivity high anomaly is
spatially coincident with a two- by three-kilometre magnetic low
anomaly that is interpreted to be associated with the intrusion of
Eocene-aged, Kastberg Suite or Babine Intrusive Suite felsic rocks,
both of which have been mapped by government geologists within 3
kilometres of the covered target. These Eocene-aged intrusions are
known to be associated, in certain instances, with porphyry copper
± gold mineralization in this region of the Stikine Terrane.

About the Cyprus Project
The road-accessible Cyprus Project is situated
in north-central British Columbia, Canada. The 623 square kilometre
Project includes the historical Kaza and Northstar copper prospects
(see the Company’s February 20th, 2024 and February 26th, 2024 news
releases for details) and represents a district-scale copper-gold
porphyry exploration Project.
At the historical Kaza copper-gold prospect,
soil samples up to 5.09 gpt gold and 10,000 ppm copper and surface
rock chip samples from 1973 including 0.88% copper, 15.4 gpt gold
and 120 gpt silver over 4.0 metres coincide with a 2,000 by 600
metre area of high IP chargeability and low magnetic response. The
presence of sparse feldspar porphyry dikes and the sulphide
assemblages present at surface suggest copper-gold porphyry
mineralization may improve at depth.
Copper mineralization at the Northstar prospect
consists of vein-hosted and disseminated chalcocite and bornite
within faulted and fractured andesite. Surface trench sampling
results includes 23.0 metres grading 2.1% copper and historical
drilling intercepts include 0.55% copper over 138.2 metres. Zones
of copper mineralization outlined by previous operators at the
Northstar prospect are likely driven by a magmatic-hydrothermal
system in the immediate vicinity.
The Big-Time prospect has not seen historical
drilling despite the presence of a pronounced copper-bearing area
of phyllic alteration that coincides with strong copper-molybdenum
geochemistry, high IP chargeability and northeast trending feldspar
porphyry dikes.
A heli-borne ZTEM (z-axis tipper
electromagnetic) geophysical survey comprising 3,760
line-kilometres was completed over the entirety of the Cyprus
Project in the summer of 2024. Numerous porphyry copper ± gold
exploration targets were outlined, including Target A, which is
characterized as a 2 x 4 kilometre conductivity high anomaly
coincident with a 2 x 3 kilometre magnetic low anomaly proximal to
a regionally mapped NW-trending fault.
