Corcel Drills 56.65m of 1.07% Cu, 0.79 g/t Au at Yuma King Project, Arizona
Corcel Exploration reported strong copper-gold-silver mineralization from the first drill hole at its Yuma King project in Arizona, with 56.65 meters grading 1.07% copper and 0.79 g/t gold, highlighting the project's near-surface skarn potential.
Corcel Exploration Inc. announced assay results from the first drill hole of its Phase 1 program at the Yuma King project in west-central Arizona, revealing a broad zone of near-surface skarn-hosted copper-gold-silver-molybdenum mineralization.
Drill hole YK26-001 intersected 56.65 meters grading 1.07% copper, 0.79 g/t gold, 7.1 g/t silver and 180 ppm molybdenum starting at just 3.35 meters downhole. The intercept expands on historical drilling and confirms the project's potential for significant polymetallic mineralization. The company is focused on advancing the project through further exploration and resource definition.
For gold and precious metals traders, this discovery adds to the pipeline of potential future supply. While the grades are not yet economic on their own, the near-surface nature and polymetallic character could improve project economics.

Corcel plans to release results from additional drill holes in the coming weeks. The market will watch for continuity of mineralization and any step-out drilling that could expand the resource. The Yuma King project remains in early-stage exploration, with further assays expected to define the deposit's scale.
