Strategic Metals Ltd. Options Hopper Project, Yukon VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / April 6, 2021 / Strategic Metals Ltd. (TSXV:SMD) ("Strategic" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that it has granted CAVU Mining Corp. (CSE:CAVU) ("CAVU") the right to earn up to a 70% interest in the Hopper copper gold project located in southwestern Yukon. The Hopper project encompasses a 74 sq km area located 22 km north of the Otter Falls hydroelectric generator, within the Traditional Territory of the Champagne & Aishihik First Nation. The road accessible Hopper property hosts copper-gold, skarn and porphyry mineralization that is associated with a Late Cretaceous (76.0±1.1 and 83.7±1.9 Ma) granodiorite pluton, informally named the Hopper Pluton. The age of the Hopper Pluton places it in the same metallogenic episode as the Patton Porphyry, which is the mineralizing pluton at Western Copper and Gold Corporation's Casino porphyry copper-gold-silver-molybdenum deposit located 190 km to the north-northwest. The Casino deposit contains 8.9 million ounces and 4.5 billion pounds in proven and probable ore reserves (mill reserves of 965.2 million tonnes grading 0.204% Cu, 0.240 g/t Au and 0.0227% Mo and heap leach reserves of 157.4 million tonnes grading 0.036% Cu and 0.292 g/t Au).
