Vancouver,
British Columbia, Canada -- September 21, 2021 -- InvestorsHub
NewsWire -- CAVU Mining Corp. (CSE:
CAVU) (OTC:
CAVVF) (FSE: 8NQ) ("CAVU" or the "Company"), is pleased to
provide an overview of the 2021 drilling campaign on the Hopper
copper-gold project located in the Yukon. The Hopper project is in
the traditional territory of the Champagne and Aishihik First
Nations.
Highlights
- The skarn, now named "Copper Castle",
mineralized footprint expanded from 433,000
m2 to 507,000 m2, a 16%
increase
- Visual inspection indicates mineralized skarn
horizons intersected in every hole at Copper
Castle
- Mineralized margin of a porphyry intrusion
intersected from surface to 200m depth through testing of three
complementary datasets with one
hole
- Drilling results are expected to be returned
from MS Analytical Langley
soon
The footprint of
mineralization at Copper Castle increased by 16%, after CAVU's
inaugural drill campaign. Mineralization at Copper Castle occurs
over a strike length of 1350m.The holes targeted skarn extensions,
geophysical targets, and undrilled showings. Copper Castle remains
open to all directions but the north, where it is cut off by the
Hopper intrusion where the Company has discovered porphyry
mineralization.
"We are very
happy with the results of the drilling on the Hopper," stated Jaap
Verbaas, CEO of CAVU. "Despite border restrictions and supply chain
issues, which are amplified in Canada's north, CAVU drilled 1119m
in six holes. The first five holes increased the footprint of
Copper Castle considerably. The sixth hole intersected the
low-grade shell normally found around mineralized porphyry cores.
This hole represents a major development on the project as it
proves the occurrence of a mineralized porphyry. These holes lay
the foundation for a larger program in 2022 during which we will
vector towards the center of the porphyry target and further
increase the Copper Castle
footprint."
Copper Castle
skarn exploration
Five holes were
drilled in the Copper Castle skarn in 2021. The holes were designed
to test certain geophysical targets such as EM and magnetic targets
while at the same time infilling and extending the mineralized
envelope. As a result, the mineralized footprint of the skarn
increased considerably, and the company expects this will increase
further to the south, west and
east.

chalcopyrite skarn in HOP21-DDH-02 at 79.15m
(bottom).
Hopper porphyry
exploration
HOP21-DDH-06 was
collared in a porphyry target (Figure 2) and designed to test three
separate datasets (magnetic, induced polarization,and soil
geochemistry). The result identified which datasets are best
utilized for targeting shallow porphyry mineralization. The hole
intersected chlorite altered (propylitic) monzonite locally cut by
vein-controlled potassic alteration and mineralized porphyry dykes.
Mineralization includes minor vein-hosted to disseminated
chalcopyrite (average <0.3% chalcopyrite from 0 - 200m), the
latter overprinting primary mafic sites. Potassic alteration is a
marker for high-temperature alteration in porphyry centers. The
three intended datasets were successfully tested and give the
company a clear strategy for porphyry exploration. The alteration
and mineralogy indicates that HOP21-DDH-06 intersected the margin
of a Cu-Mo porphyry system, proximal to a porphyry
center.

About the
Hopper
The Hopper is a
road accessible porphyry-skarn project in southern Yukon. The
