COMPANY OVERVIEW & UPDATE
Any successes or challenges you’d like to share?
The company completed a limited drill campaign and successfully expanded the mineralization at the Terry porphyry copper discovery. In addition, several target areas located southeast of the Terry porphyry copper discovery were drill tested.
The field season was a success, however, COVID-19 impacted the summer field program. Positive cases were promptly identified and were isolated onsite until they tested negative.
A wildfire started from a lightning strike several km east of the camp which was spotted by our helicopter pilot. Libero sent four employees with two people from the Barrington River placer mine along with helicopter support to suppress the wildfire. The fire was successfully brought under control by the Libero team. Local phone lines were down during the fire, so messages were relayed from the camp satellite system to the BC Wildfire Services and others working in the area to coordinate the suppression of other fires near Telegraph Creek.
Libero was able to donate helicopter time to the Tahltan Cultural and Literacy Camp allowing kids to have an ariel view of the Three Sisters in the Stikine River.
