CHARTS: The coming critical minerals trade war is BRICS short of a load
"While a large number of countries around the world continue to talk about securing raw material supply, China is actually doing something about it."
Tasca Resources of Vancouver has received excellent assays from drilling at its Poplar copper property southwest of Houston. Hole 18-PC-126 averaged 0.37% copper, 0.015% molybdenum, 0.15 g/t gold and 2.31 g/t silver over 381.0 metres. In the 30.2 deepest metres, the core tested 0.55% copper, 0.27% moly, 0.10 g/t gold and 4.44 g/t silver.
Hole 18-PC-127 tested 0.33% copper, 0.002% molybdenum. 0.11 g/t gold and 2.36% silver over 264.9 metres. This included a 27-metre intersection of 0.64% copper, 0.030% moly, 0.15 g/t gold and 2.62 g/t silver.
A third hole, 18-PC-127, returned 0.33% copper, 0.002% molybdenum, 0.118 g/t gold and 3.46 g/t silver over 151.1 metres.
Tasca says the Poplar copper deposit hosts a historical indicated mineral resource of 131 million tonnes grading 0.31% copper, 0.009% molybdenum, 0.09 g/t gold and 2.39 g/t silver, and a historical inferred mineral resource of 132 million tonnes grading 0.27% copper, 0.005% moly, 0.07 g/t gold and 3.75 g/t silver has been identified through the drilling of 147 historical holes. (Historical resources are not necessarily 43-101 compliant.)
