Copper Road Resources Intersects Broad Zones of Visible Copper Mineralization at its Copper Road Project in Batchewana Bay, Ontario

• At the Jogran Porphyry target, both holes J-23-01 and J-23-02 intersected broad zones of copper mineralization (194 m from 4-198 metres and 137 metres from 4-141 metres, respectively). Mineralization is exhibited as chalcopyrite + molybdenite ± bornite + pyrite + pyrrhotite disseminations and in quartz veinlets hosted in a quartz-sericite-pyrite (Phyllic) altered quartz monzonite porphyry.
  
  
• At the Richards Breccia target, two of four holes (R-23-01 and R-23-04) encountered wide intersections of copper mineralization (37 metres from 76-113 metres and 49 metres from 80-129 metres, respectively). The mineralization at Richards consists of chalcopyrite + pyrite ± pyrrhotite ± chalcocite aggregates, disseminations, and veinlets hosted in a chlorite-sericite-carbonate-pyrite altered breccia.
  

TORONTO, Sept. 19, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Copper Road Resources Inc. (TSX-V: CRD) ("Copper Road" or the "Company") is pleased to announce broad intersections of visible copper mineralization at the highly prospective JR Zone copper porphyry and breccia targets at its Copper Road Project in Batchewana Bay, Ontario.

John Timmons, President & CEO of Copper Road, comments:

“We are eager to see the assays from the JR Zone, over the past year we completed 4,200 metres of diamond drilling and have established both the Tribag and JR Zones as large-scale at-surface Cu-Mo-Au-Ag targets. The JR Zone is in the centre of 30 kilometres of mineralization with two past producing high grade copper mines, the Coppercorp to the southwest and the Tribag to the northeast.

The Company believes this region has the potential to deliver several much larger copper-dominant polymetallic deposits based on the extensive Cu-Mo-Au-Ag mineralization throughout this contiguous 24,000-hectare project.”

The company believes that the JR zone has a current footprint of copper mineralization that’s 1.5 kilometres long and 550 metres wide (open) based on reconnaissance MMI soils lines and historical data compilation completed by the company (see press release dated June 6, 2023).

The JR Zone is just one of several alkalic porphyry targets across the property, which also includes, among others, the former Tribag Mine, Con-Negus, and Gimlet Lake. (see Map 1) The Company currently compares these targets to well-known alkalic porphyry deposits and clusters in British Columbia, such as Galore Creek, Mt. Milligan, Mt. Polley, Afton-Ajax (Iron Mask) and Copper Mountain.
