Cliff Minerals<\/a> (ASX:WCN) has confirmed a new \u2018high-grade\u2019 copper discovery outside the main Teshierpi Fault Zone at its Rae Copper Project in Nunavut, Canada.<\/p>\n<p>Drill hole DAN26015 returned 79.24m @ 1.59% copper from 67.06m, including 24.38m @ 3.05% copper from 120.4m, confirming mineralisation on both contacts of the regional fault zone.<\/p>\n<p>The company says 2026 assay results now confirm a footprint exceeding 3.1km in strike length, with visual observations extending more than 6km along strike.<\/p>\n<p>Managing Director Troy Whittaker says DAN26015 is an \u2018important result for White Cliff\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Simultaneously, the hole confirms a new \u2018high-grade\u2019 zone of copper mineralisation outside the main Teshierpi Fault Zone, indicating that the system extends beyond the current structure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are now seeing copper zones expanding materially around Danvers 1, with new drilling extending the system 462m to the southwest, 686m to the northeast, and identifying a parallel mineralised zone 606m to the north at DAN26022,\u201d Whittaker adds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese results are being delivered from wide-spaced drilling into largely untested ground, which speaks directly to [\u2026] the strength of the Teshierpi copper system and the effectiveness of our targeting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The company reports that copper sulphides are now observed over a strike length of more than 6km within the main Teshierpi Fault Zone between DAN26001 and DAN26024.<\/p>\n<p>DAN26020 has extended known mineralisation at Danvers 1 by 215m to the southwest from 2025 hole DAN25015, consisting of 30m of combined sulphides in veins and blebs within amygdaloidal and massive basalts.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wcminerals.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">White Cliff Minerals<\/a> has deployed a second diamond drill rig on site to target step out from \u2018ultra high-grade\u2019 mineralisation at DAN26012, which returned 19.81m at 6.64% copper.<\/p>\n<p>The Rae Copper Project comprises 93 mineral claims in three blocks and one mineral lease covering 1,228km2 in the Kitikmeot region of Nunavut.<\/p>\n<p>The project contains a historic resource estimate at Danvers of 4.16 million tons at 2.96% copper.<\/p>\n<p>Write to <a
