Magna Terra Minerals Inc. (TSXV: MTT) (“Magna Terra” or the “Firm”) is happy to announce that it has found copper mineralization throughout early-stage prospecting at its 40,675-hectare, 100% owned Humber Copper-Cobalt Challenge (the “Humber Challenge” or the “Challenge”) positioned in western Newfoundland (Determine 1). The invention of copper mineralization in bedrock is positioned on the east finish of the Hughes Lake Pattern. Copper mineralization from floor rock seize samples^^ from outcrop and subcrop includes between 0.5 to five% mixed, fracture-controlled, foliation parallel stringers and disseminated, malachite, bornite and chalcopyrite hosted inside dolomitized limestone and adjoining altered clastic sedimentary and/or mafic volcanic rocks over an noticed strike size of 700 metres and marks the primary incidence of copper famous on this under-explored property (Figures 1, 2, and three). Ongoing and preliminary subject work consisting of prospecting, geological mapping, and the gathering of 1,700 soil samples is targeted on following up on the Hughes Lake Pattern the place an 8-kilometre-long anomalous zone of copper and cobalt in soil samples** is coincident with mafic volcanic rocks of the Hughes Lake Complicated and related magnetic rocks.
All soil and rock samples collected will likely be submitted to Jap Analytical Ltd. in Springdale, NL and will likely be analysed for gold (30 g hearth assay) and multi-element geochemistry, together with parts Cu, Pb, Zn, Co, and Ag (methodology ICP-34). Analytical outcomes are pending and will likely be reported in a future information launch.
The Firm can be happy to announce that it has accomplished the beforehand introduced 2,377 line-kilometre (“km”) airborne geophysical survey on the Challenge. The helicopter-borne survey consisted of a scientific, property-wide, time-domain electromagnetic (“VTEM™ Plus”) and horizontal magnetic gradiometer survey and can present the baseline geophysical information to information geological mapping and help in focusing exploration efforts on the invention of Copper-Cobalt deposits. That is the primary geophysical survey of this kind within the space. The Firm is curious about areas of geophysical anomalies coincident with anomalous copper (“Cu”), cobalt (“Co”), lead (“Pb”), silver (“Ag”), molybdenum (“Mo”), gold (“Au”), arsenic (“As”), and antimony (“Sb”) lake sediment values discovered all through the Challenge space (Figures 1 and a pair of).
Magna Terra wish to acknowledge and thank each the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador and the Atlantic Canada Alternatives Company (“ACOA”) for his or her monetary help by way of Junior Exploration Help (“JEA”) program for work on the Humber Copper-Cobalt Challenge.
“We’re very inspired to have found in-situ copper mineralization inside the first few days of engaged on the Humber Challenge. This essential discovery helps our idea that the Humber Challenge has the potential to host Sediment-hosted Stratiform Copper Deposits, and with our exploration group at the moment on the bottom we stay up for assessing extra targets throughout the in depth property. With the completion of the airborne survey, we can have one of many requisite information layers upon which to base additional focusing on for related model mineralization. We stay up for updating shareholders on the outcomes of this preliminary work program and sincerely admire the monetary help of the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador and ACOA by way of the JEA program.
“On the Humber Copper-Cobalt Challenge, we’ve assembled a uncommon, first-mover, district-scale undertaking alternative, that may proceed to leverage our experience. We’re desperate to reveal the Challenge’s prospectivity targeted on important metallic discovery and the worth we imagine this Challenge brings to our buyers.”

Humber Challenge Highlights
- Potential for discovery of serious Cu-Co deposits;
- Host to regionally anomalous Cu, Co, Ag, Pb +/- Au, Mo, As, and Sb lake sediments;
- 8+ km Hughes Lake Copper-Cobalt Pattern;
- Analogous to the Kalahari Copper Belt, Namibia and Botswana; Central African Copper Belt, Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC); and the Kupferschiefer Belt, Poland;
- Globally, these Sediment-hosted Stratiform Copper (“SSC”) deposit varieties characterize 20% of Cu manufacturing* and 60% of Co manufacturing^;
- District-scale land bundle now comprising 40,675 hectares;
- Situated inside the premier mining jurisdiction of Newfoundland and Labrador;
- 12 months-round accessibility with street entry to the vast majority of the Challenge;
- First mover benefit in a beforehand unrecognized space of exploration potential; and
- Acquired by way of staking – value efficient acquisition and with no underlying royalties or choice funds.
Concerning the Geophysical Survey
The helicopter-borne survey was accomplished by Geotech Ltd. and comprised a Versatile Time-Area Electromagnetic (VTEM™ Plus) and horizontal magnetic gradiometer survey. The survey was flown at 200 metre spacing in a northwest pattern throughout the strike of the underlying geology with perpendicular tie strains flown at 2 kilometre spacing.
Lake Sediment Geochemistry and International Analogues
The Challenge is underlain by rocks of the sedimentary Humber Arm Allochthon and adjoining plutonic and volcanic Hughes Lake Complicated, which is centred on a sequence of anomalous lake sediment samples (Davenport et al., 1996) that present regionally elevated ranges of Co (as much as 160 ppm), Ag (as much as 0.6 ppm), Pb (as much as 84 ppm), Cu (as much as 185 ppm), As (as much as 142 ppm), Mo (as much as 15 ppm), and Au (as much as 10 ppb). An evaluation of the lake sediment geochemical information by way of Principal Element Evaluation has indicated that the metallic suite current inside the Challenge space is probably going associated to a black shale supply, as lots of the anomalous lake sediments have low-Ni values which precludes affiliation with the close by ophiolite complexes to the instant west.
This metallic signature (Cu, Co, Ag, Pb +/- Au, Mo, As, Sb) and geological surroundings is supportive of the realm being host to SSC deposits. SSC deposits host 60% of worldwide Cobalt manufacturing^ and 20% of worldwide Copper manufacturing* in deposits such because the Central African Copper Belt, which is considered analogous to the geological setting of the Humber Copper-Cobalt Challenge. SSC deposits are sometimes laterally steady alongside bedding and include constant grades (1.2 to five% Cu)* and huge assets of by-product Au, U, platinum-group, and rare-earth parts. The exploration potential can be underscored by the presence of base metallic deposits close by together with the York Harbour and Daniels Harbour Deposits positioned at decrease stratigraphic ranges of the area.
