Getty Copper - Getty South Initial Drill Results: 68.5m Of 0.81% Cu and 184m of 0.37% Cu
Summary
Getty Copper's first two drill holes at Getty South returned 68.5m at 0.81% copper and 184m at 0.37% copper, signalling both high-grade and bulk-tonnage potential.
Getty South is a breccia-hosted (broken-rock fragments cemented by minerals) copper system that differs from the classic porphyry (large intrusion-hosted) style at Getty North.
Modern IP chargeability surveys layered over 1950s-era drilling data were the key exploration signature used to target the first holes at Getty South.
Getty Copper plans a 4-6,000 metre fall drill program starting in October to test Getty West and other district targets.
Mineralization now extends at least 72 metres below the deepest historical intercept, supporting the multi-zone potential of the Getty South breccia body.
Roy Gregg's takeaways
- Top takeaway The guest presents Getty South's September 2, 2026 drill release as confirming breccia-hosted copper mineralization with high-grade potential, highlighted by 68.5m of 0.81% Cu (including 14m of 1.83% Cu) and 184m of 0.37% Cu
- He argues Getty South is geologically different from both the classic porphyry copper-moly at Getty North and most other Highland Valley deposits, with potential for multiple higher-grade zones arranged concentrically around a larger breccia body
- He reports the first two holes extended mineralization at least 72m below the deepest historical intercept on file from the 1950s-era drilling database, with target selection guided by a clear IP chargeability anomaly
- He notes Getty Copper completed 13 holes at Getty South in the first-pass program with another 11 results still pending, expected to come in over the coming weeks to roughly a month and a half
- He outlines a fall drilling program targeted to start in October 2026 of 4,000 to 6,000 metres of drilling, prioritising Getty South follow-up alongside Getty North, Getty West and seven additional district-scale exploration targets
