Gregg Jensen, CEO says, "Red Metal Resources is focused on Copper and Gold exploration and development. In particular, demand for copper is expected to continue to grow over the long-term according to many research analysts due to clean energy transition and need for additional energy generation. Some organizations are forecasting copper demand will double by 2035."
NEW MANAGEMENT TEAM
Our new management team consisting of Gregg Jensen, President, CEO, Marian Myers P.Geo, Director and Project Manager, and Brian Gusko, VP of Finance has been working diligently in the past two months with a site visit to the property, meeting with new investment groups in Vancouver, Toronto and Germany, and a thorough analysis of historical work completed on the property. The new management team is excited by the work previously completed and the growth opportunities for the future.
CORPORATE RESTRUCTURING
As previously announced, the company agreed to undergo a 3-1 reverse split and certain debt holders agreed to restructure their debt into long term. These restructuring items have now been completed and the company can move forward on a stronger footing to allow new investment to support the growth of the company.
FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CARRIZAL PROPERTY
The Carrizal property consists of 21 claims covering 3278 hectares in the Atacama Desert of Northern Chile and is adjacent to the historical Carrizal Alto mine that operated between the 1820's and 1891. The company splits the property into two zones, Perth in the north (high-grade gold surface samples) and Farellón in the south (high-grade copper drilling and surface sampling). Farellón, an IOCG vein deposit zone and has over 9000 metres of drilling with a drill verified: ~1.5km mineralized strike length, open for additional 3.5km along strike, and at depth. This is in addition to other vein targets identified by recent surface sampling. Perth is a vein system with significant gold mineralization in addition to copper. Surface sampling in 2011 identified 12 veins, there are 48 samples of > 1 g/t Au, 46 samples of > 1% Cu, and 19 samples of > 0.05% Co.
The company plans to conduct a satellite alteration survey and an induced polarization (IP) geophysics survey over our high-grade copper Farellón zone to aide in developing new drill targets. The company also plans to conduct a satellite alteration survey over the Perth gold zones where historic work has outlined significant gold and copper mineralization. Plans are to continue drilling on the Farellón zone (historic drilling of over 9,000 drill metres) with a view to expand known mineralization at depth and along strike.
