Vancouver, British Columbia – September 19, 2023 (Newsfile Corp.) (Investorideas.com Newswire) Interra Copper Corp. (CSE: IMCX) (OTCQB: IMIMF) (FSE: 3MX) (“Interra” or the “Firm”) is happy to announce that it has entered right into a non-binding letter of intent (the “LOI”) with ArcWest Exploration Inc. (TSXV: AWX) (“ArcWest”), to barter an 80% earn-in and three way partnership settlement on ArcWest’s Rip Cu-Mo Venture (“Rip Venture” or the “Venture”), in central British Columbia, a prolific mining area on Canada’s west coast. A technical presentation for Rip is out there for obtain here.
The Rip Venture contains 2,309 ha and is situated about 63 km south of Houston and 79 km southwest of Burns Lake in central British Columbia. The Rip Venture is located in Stikine Terrane in a prolific belt of Late Cretaceous (Bulkley Plutonic Suite) porphyry copper-molybdenum (Cu-Mo) deposits, which incorporates Imperial Metals’ Huckleberry Mine, 33 km to the southwest and presently on care and upkeep. Along with the Huckleberry Mine, the Bulkley porphyry belt contains the Whiting Creek, Poplar, Seel and Ox Cu-Mo (gold-silver) deposits. The absolutely permitted Rip Venture is highway accessible from both Houston or Burns Lake.
Rip Venture Earn-In Settlement with ArcWest
Underneath the phrases of the LOI, Interra obtains a two-stage choice to earn as much as an 80% possession curiosity within the Rip Venture over as much as an 8-year interval.
Within the 1st stage, Interra has the choice to earn, over a 4-year staged work-schedule, a 60% share possession within the Rip by issuing 1,050,000 shares of Interra, finishing geological and exploration expenditures of Cdn $2,000,000, and paying Cdn $100,000 money to ArcWest, over a interval 4 years and three months, till December 31, 2027.
The 2nd stage of the earn-in requires Interra to advance the Venture to Feasibility Examine degree with a view to get hold of an extra 20% for a complete of 80% possession, inside 4 years of finishing the primary tier earn-in, or on the newest December 31, 2031. This 2nd stage of the choice requires Interra funding C$2 million in work and paying ArcWest C$250,000 per 12 months. Attainable extensions are granted to Interra for 3 further years till 2033 on the newest, by persevering with these identical phrases plus an extra C$100,000 per 12 months.
A major goal space is outlined by a beforehand outlined excessive chargeability zone which is proven in Determine 1.
The primary work program funding requirement for at least C$300,000 is ready to December 31, 2024. Work will begin this 12 months with 3D topography and satellite-aerial survey of your complete Venture for a dedicated finances of C$25,000. Additional Exploitation work will include geophysics to refine targets for the primary stage of drilling, deliberate for the 2024 or 2025 drilling season.
The Rip Venture covers the central axis of a 15 by 6 kilometer window of Early Jurassic Hazelton Group volcano-sedimentary rocks intruded by a number of small shares of Late Cretaceous Bulkley Plutonic Suite porphyritic granodiorite. Faults bounding this block pattern northwesterly and separate the Hazelton Group from surrounding blocks of youthful (Late Cretaceous to Eocene) volcanics.
The Rip goal was initially superior by Kennco Explorations between 1975 and 1981. Kennco accomplished an Induced Polarization survey in 1975 which delineated a big chargeability excessive. Though Kennco acknowledged “within the last evaluation this space would require an in depth drilling program to find out whether or not a zone of financial mineralization exists throughout the sulfide system” (Dorval and Stevenson, 1976), it was examined solely by a single, 294 meter-long diamond drill gap (at -45 diploma inclination) in 1975. The drill gap intersected intensely quartz-sericite-pyrite (QSP) altered andesite and quartz diorite to a depth of 115 meters the place the zone was lower off by a fault. The QSP altered zone above the fault averaged 0.07% Cu and 0.005% Mo over 70.3 meters (35.3-105.6m). The IP survey was prolonged in 1980, outlining the 0.8-1.5 by 2.2 kilometer chargeability excessive, and 36 shallow percussion drill holes totaling 1763 meters had been accomplished (11 of the drill holes failed to achieve bedrock). Logging of drill cuttings from these percussion holes delineated a zone of QSP alteration roughly comparable to the chargeability excessive. A multi-element evaluation of the core cuttings from 26 of the percussion holes in 1981 outlined a central 0.5 by 1.5 kilometer Cu-Mo anomaly coring a broad peripheral lead-zinc-arsenic-manganese anomaly, a geochemical zonation typical of porphyry copper methods. Though many of the Rip property is roofed by glacial deposits, close to the core of the Kennco chargeability anomaly a small (50 by 100 meter) space of outcrop and shallow trenches exposes sturdy multistage porphyry-style stockwork veining inside altered Hazelton volcanics and feldspar-quartz porphyry. Early magnetite-chalcopyrite-pyrite ‘A’ veins with white Ok-feldspar (or albite) halos are lower by later quartz-chalcopyite-pyrite-molybdenite ‘B’ veins. Veining accompanies pervasive magnetite-biotite (potassic) alteration which is variably overprinted by quartz-sericite-pyrite (QSP). Multistage porphyry-style veining regionally reaches sturdy stockwork density. Restricted rock sampling of those outcrops in 2017-2018 (8 samples), returned 258-1490 elements per million (ppm) copper, 3-238 ppm molybdenum, 7-69 elements per billion gold, and 0.2-1.5 ppm silver. Deleterious parts happen at very low ranges (e.g., zinc <77 ppm, lead <4 ppm, and arsenic <5 ppm). Additional particulars of the Rip Cu-Mo Venture will be discovered right here:

Tyler Ruks, President and CEO of ArcWest commented, “ArcWest views the Rip Venture as containing a extremely underexplored porphyry copper system and is trying ahead to working with Interra to advance the mission.”
The Proposed Transaction is topic to receipt of all obligatory regulatory approvals together with approval of the TSX Enterprise Change.
