Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 19, 2024) - Casa Minerals Inc. (TSXV: CASA) (OTC Pink: CASXF) (FSE: 0CM) (the "Company" or "Casa"), is pleased to announce that it has received the exploration work permit for its Arsenault Copper-Gold-Silver VMS project, located in the Jennings River Area of northwestern BC in the traditional territory of the Teslin-Tlingit First Nation and the Taku River Tlingit First Nation.
The five-year area-based exploration permit ("the permit") was issued by the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation. The permit allows the Company to perform 80 line kilometers of ground geophysical surveys and to drill from 30 helicopter accessed drill sites. The permitting process included consultations with First Nations which is reflected in the strong provisions for environmental protection and conditions. The requirements are in accord with Casa's principles and will result in minimal impact.
The Arsenault VMS (volcanic massive sulphides)-type mineral occurrences have been explored in recent decades by several operators, including Casa, who variously employed technical surveys, including airborne, geophysical and geochemical surveys and geologic mapping. Casa has compiled available data and plans to expand the existing surveys and conduct drill tests in several locations. Arsenault geology mapping has shown that copper-gold mineralization of interest is related to a sequence of interbedded marine and clastic sedimentary rock formations, aka "Big Salmon Formation," that in nearby parts of southern Yukon are host to important copper, gold, silver, lead and zinc prospects and several mines.
Farshad Shirvani, president & CEO of the Company states: "this permit gives Casa an opportunity to shine a light on this district which has a rich history in mineral exploration, and it deserves new approaches and modern exploration technologies to hopefully contribute to the demand of critical minerals that we are seeing in this country and around the world."
