White Cliff Minerals uncovers more shallow, high-grade copper at Rae Project

Upcoming drilling and geophysical surveys to expand exploration footprint

Regional infrastructure developments may boost project logistics

White Cliff Minerals Limited (ASX:WCN) has revealed promising new assay results from its ongoing drilling efforts at the Rae Copper Project in Nunavut, Canada—positioning itself as a notable exploration company within the broader resource sector. These results provide encouraging signs for the project's future and could increase visibility within key investment conversations linked to the ASX300 index and related mining opportunities.

The latest assays from the Danvers prospect highlight a shallow and continuous copper system with notable mineralisation. Drill hole DAN25002 intersected 63 metres grading 2.23% copper and 7.1 grams per tonne silver from a shallow depth of 9.14 metres. A standout section of that same hole returned 15 metres at 5% copper and 16.9g/t silver from 18.29 metres. Additionally, DAN25004 revealed two significant copper zones—38 metres at 1% copper and 1.89g/t silver from 7.62 metres, and 72 metres at 1.08% copper and 4.22g/t silver from 62.48 metres, including 14 metres at 2.32% copper from 106.68 metres.

As the company prepares for a diamond drilling campaign at the Hulk prospect, completed pre-collar drilling lays the groundwork for expanded operations. Beyond drilling, White Cliff Minerals is also planning advanced airborne geophysical surveys along the 9.1km fault zone at Danvers, complemented by downhole electromagnetic work across the wider Rae Project. These studies aim to sharpen targeting for future campaigns, with additional assay results currently pending.

The company’s leadership sees these developments as transformative. According to Managing Director Troy Whittaker, the exceptional intercepts—many starting from surface—underscore the area’s untapped potential. He pointed out that these findings are particularly notable given the limited exploration activity in the region over the last decade, which was largely due to political and logistical constraints.

Regional infrastructure advancements may further catalyse project momentum. Improved access via Yellowknife and the nearby deep-water port of Kugluktuk—just 80km by road—support the case for sustained development. Additionally, increasing attention from both public and private stakeholders toward building road and port facilities signals growing support for mineral development in this area.

For investors watching developments in mineral exploration and infrastructure-aligned regions, White Cliff Minerals' activity at Rae may align with broader trends seen among ASX dividend stocks and companies poised to benefit from long-term commodity demand within the ASX300 index. As further results emerge, interest in the Rae Copper Project and its contribution to supply chain solutions could continue to grow.
