Voyageur Creates a Copper Polymetallic Mineral Project

voyageur pharmaceuticals ltd (TSX:VM)

CALGARY, ALBERTA, CANADA, February 16, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Voyageur Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (“Voyageur” or the “Company”) (TSX-V:VM) is pleased to announce the completion of the NI 43-101 report, the Jubilee Mountain Property, authored by Craig Dunn, P.Geo, the effective date of February 4, 2022 (the "Report") for the Jubilee Mountain copper polymetallic project (the "Jubilee Project"). In addition, Voyageur has added a second battery mineral project and has staked ground on a prospective polymetallic area of interest named the Falcon (together with the Jubilee Project, the "Projects").

Voyageur is discussing and analysing a cost-effective path forward to have these Projects independently managed. Voyageur's focus is on its Frances Creek project and full integration of the radiology pharmaceutical drug and device market.

Highlights from the Report:
• The copper polymetallic play has been overlooked at Jubilee in favour of barite mining since the 1950s, even though the initial discovery was the copper polymetallic assets
• The adjacent Giant mine produced 220 tonnes pure copper and 3230 tonnes pure zinc during its lifetime (1920-1957)
• The historic 10,000 m drilled shows promise in confirming the Jubilee Project is an exploration project of merit
• The 53.2% copper result is in the Tiger Ridge area of interest, drilled in in the late 1990s and early 2000s
• Results show average of 3% Cu over an 8 m interval
• Promising zinc with 21.25% over a 0.9 m interval
• These results align with a Mississippi Valley Type depositional environment

According to Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research, Wood McKenzie and Bank of America, to meet demand by 2030, 70 plus new copper projects are required to go into production. It is estimated that there will be an 8.2 megaton deficit in copper by 2039. Copper prices are expected to reach $20,000 per tonne by 2023.
