Surge Copper Announces Commencement of 2025 Field Program at Berg Project
Surge Copper (OTCQB: SRGXF) has launched its 2025 field program at the 100%-owned Berg copper-molybdenum-precious metals project in central British Columbia. The program, running from mid-July through late September, represents the final field campaign before completing a resource update and pre-feasibility study.
The campaign includes 5,000 metres of drilling using two drill rigs, focusing on technical objectives such as geochemical characterization, resource delineation, and geotechnical investigations. The company has also secured an amended and extended exploration permit valid through March 31, 2030, authorizing 103 drill holes, 22 helipads, and 40 mechanical test pits.
Surge Copper (OTCQB: SRGXF) ha avviato il programma di esplorazione per il 2025 presso il progetto Berg di rame, molibdeno e metalli preziosi di proprietà al 100% nel centro della British Columbia. Il programma, che si svolgerà da metà luglio fino a fine settembre, rappresenta l'ultima campagna sul campo prima del completamento dell'aggiornamento delle risorse e dello studio di prefattibilità.
La campagna prevede 5.000 metri di perforazioni con due impianti di perforazione, concentrandosi su obiettivi tecnici quali la caratterizzazione geochimica, la definizione delle risorse e indagini geotecniche. L'azienda ha inoltre ottenuto un permesso di esplorazione modificato e prorogato, valido fino al 31 marzo 2030, che autorizza 103 fori di perforazione, 22 eliporti e 40 trincee meccaniche di prova.
