Kutcho Copper Enhances and Defines New VMS Drill Targets

Kutcho Copper Corp. (TSXV: KC) (OTCQX: KCCFF) has recently announced significant advancements in its exploration program at the high-grade copper-zinc Kutcho Project in north-western British Columbia. The Company's ongoing efforts to enhance and define new VMS drill targets have yielded promising results, with the potential to significantly impact the Project's overall economic value.

The Kutcho Project, which encompasses ~90% of the prospective Kutcho Formation rocks east of Dease Lake, B.C., has not seen any significant exploration since 1990. However, the Company's detailed regional exploration plan has focused on gravity techniques and other improved remote sensing capabilities, combined with existing data and interpretations, to generate compelling targets for drill testing.

The Company's exploration VMS targeting update has highlighted and refined several high priority drill ready VMS targets, including Esso West, Hamburger, and Sumac Gap. These targets show promising potential in terms of size, grade, and economic viability, comparable to the existing deposits at the Kutcho Project.

1. Esso West: This high priority drill ready target is approximately 1900 m strike by 500 m down dip, lying at a depth of 300 - 600 m. The target is bracketed by a total of five historical drillholes that intercepted a combination of moderately to strongly sericite - pyrite altered quartz - crystals tuffs and sericite - pyrite altered lapilli tuffs. One of the past holes returned an intercept of 7.2m @ 2.0% Cu and 5.2% Zn at the eastern down dip margin of the Esso West target. A five hole drill program is planned for a total of roughly 3,500 m, combined with downhole EM surveys, to thoroughly test the target area and aid vectoring within it, as drilling progresses.
2. Hamburger: The untested Hamburger target lies immediately to the east of the Main deposit and measures approximately 2,000 m along strike and 250 m down dip with an approximate depth from surface of 450 m. Several proximal, near surface holes intersected felsic lapilli tuffs that are intensely sericite altered with pyrite and massive pyrite pods identical to the immediate footwall to the Main deposit resource. This target requires drill testing.
3. Sumac Gap: Sitting approximately 350 m below surface, Sumac Gap is a continuous 600 m by 300 m conductive target, downdip and to the west of the Main deposit. The up-dip edge of Sumac Gap was previously intercepted by two historical holes spaced 250 m apart and drilled in 1976. The holes intersected carbonate and hematite altered lapilli tuffs with pyrite and sphalerite.

The Company's use of new geophysical techniques, such as ZTEM and seismic, has enhanced its ability to identify and evaluate potential VMS targets compared to previous exploration methods. These techniques enable the Company to better identify and evaluate potential VMS targets, ultimately increasing the chances of discovering new mineral deposits and enhancing the overall value of the Kutcho Project.

In conclusion, Kutcho Copper's ongoing exploration efforts at the Kutcho Project have yielded promising results, with the potential to significantly impact the Project's overall economic value. The Company's use of new geophysical techniques and the definition of new VMS drill targets, such as Esso West, Hamburger, and Sumac Gap, demonstrate the Company's commitment to exploring and developing the project to its full potential. As the Company continues to refine and enhance its exploration potential, investors should keep a close eye on the progress at the Kutcho Project.
