Getty Copper hits 342m of 0.50% copper at Getty North
Getty Copper reports first assay results from its 2026 program at the Getty Project in British Columbia, with 342m grading 0.50% copper at Getty North, expanding the zone by 65m.
Getty Copper Inc. (TSXV: GTC) has released the first assay results from its 2026 exploration program at the Getty Project in the Highland Valley District of British Columbia. The initial three drill holes, the first significant drilling at the project since 1997, returned consistent copper mineralization, including 342 meters grading 0.50% copper from 9 meters depth at the Getty North target. The results also show expansion of the Getty North zone by 65 meters beyond historical drill holes, confirming the potential for resource growth.
For commodities traders and mining investors, these results are a positive early signal for a project in a historic copper district. The Highland Valley District is home to Teck Resources' Highland Valley Copper mine, one of Canada's largest copper operations. While these are early-stage exploration results, consistent mineralization over significant widths could support a future resource estimate. Live copper prices and mining stock charts on NowPrice show how the market is reacting to exploration news across the sector.
The company reports that drilling is ongoing, with additional assays pending. Investors will watch for further results to assess the continuity and grade of mineralization. The next set of drill holes will be critical to determine whether Getty North can develop into a meaningful copper deposit in a district with established infrastructure.
