True North Copper Launches $18M Placement to Complete Mt Oxide Acquisition
The company's recent drilling at Wallace North has intercepted high-grade copper-gold mineralisation well beyond the current resource boundary, signaling a potentially much larger system. The standout result was from hole WRC255, which delivered:
This intercept, located 60m along strike from the existing resource, represents the best intersection ever drilled at Wallace North, returning approximately 59 copper-equivalent grade-meters—nearly 25 CuEq%m larger than the previous best result.
Multiple additional intercepts from this hole confirm the potential for a much larger system, including:
At the Mt Oxide project, final results from the Phase 1 drilling program have validated the Aquila copper-cobalt-silver discovery as a large-scale, depth-persistent system extending to over 420m depth and up to 100m wide.
Recent results expanding the footprint include:
These follow previously reported high-grade intercepts including 145m @ 0.75% Cu, 0.12% Co, 2.9 g/t Ag from 28m and 30m @ 2.45% Cu from 20m.
The company has also confirmed extensions to the Vero Resource, with hole MOX241 intersecting 68m @ 0.47% Cu, 0.12% Co, 4.4 g/t Ag from 67m.
True North's exploration strategy uses a multi-disciplinary approach, combining geophysical surveys, structural mapping, and strategic drilling to identify high-priority targets.
At Wallace North, a Fixed Loop Electromagnetic (FLEM) survey identified three laterally continuous conductive trends spanning over 8km of strike. This geophysical signature mirrors regional copper-gold systems where shear-hosted, pyrrhotite-dominated sulphide feeder zones generate strong electromagnetic responses and host high-grade Cu-Au mineralisation.
Similarly, at Mt Oxide, the company has utilized Induced Polarization (IP) surveys to identify coincident chargeability and conductivity anomalies associated with the Aquila discovery.
"We're entering a new and exciting phase of growth at True North. The Cloncurry and Mt Oxide discoveries reflect our strategy at work – driving real value for shareholders." – Bevan Jones, Managing Director
The company's two-track strategy balances:
True North has outlined clear next steps for both projects:
At Wallace North:
At Mt Oxide:
These results are significant for investors for several reasons:
Resource Growth Potential: The high-grade intercepts at Wallace North suggest the current resource could be substantially expanded, potentially enhancing the economics of the Cloncurry Copper Project.
District-Scale Discovery: The Aquila discovery at Mt Oxide represents a potentially transformative find in a region that hasn't seen significant greenfield exploration success in decades.
Strategic Portfolio: True North's balanced approach of advancing near-term production assets while pursuing major exploration upside provides investors with exposure to both immediate development catalysts and long-term growth.
Critical Minerals Focus: With copper, gold, and cobalt as primary targets, the company is well-positioned to benefit from increasing demand for critical minerals essential for the energy transition.
With Phase 2 drilling already underway at Aquila and plans for systematic exploration at Wallace North, investors can expect a steady flow of news as True North copper drilling success continues to execute its growth strategy.
