Cascade Copper eyes phase two drilling at Centerfire and advances Copper Plateau plans

Cascade Copper CEO Jeff Ackert joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss recent drilling results at the company’s Centerfire project in Ontario, plans for a second phase of exploration and preparations for drilling at the Copper Plateau project in British Columbia.

Ackert explained that Cascade Copper is focused exclusively on copper exploration in Canada, with a portfolio of projects at various stages of development. The company’s strategy centres on acquiring properties with historical exploration data that can help guide new programs, refine geological models and accelerate exploration.

At Centerfire, located between Dryden and Sioux Lookout in Ontario, Cascade Copper recently completed a drilling program following preliminary geophysical surveys, ground investigations and surface sampling. Ackert said the drilling returned encouraging copper results, along with gold, silver and other trace elements. The findings are helping the company improve its understanding of the mineralization and develop a revised geological model to guide future exploration.

The company is now evaluating a second phase of drilling at Centerfire, with an initial focus on extending known mineralization along strike and testing deeper targets. Ackert noted that indications of potentially repeated mineralized sequences beneath the surface could point to additional exploration opportunities, although further drilling will be needed to verify the updated geological interpretation.

With approximately 10 kilometres of strike length across the property, Cascade Copper sees considerable scope for additional exploration as it works to establish the extent and continuity of the mineralization. Beyond Ontario, the company is preparing for a drilling program at Copper Plateau in British Columbia, subject to permitting. Ackert said a financing was nearing completion and would help support the company’s planned exploration activities heading into 2027.

Cascade Copper also intends to undertake additional geophysical and geochemical work across other projects in its portfolio. For now, Centerfire and Copper Plateau remain the company’s primary exploration priorities as it works to advance its Canadian copper assets and identify further opportunities for discovery.
