Chief Executive Officer, Glenn Poole, commented:
“The latest high grade drill intercepts from Peru highlight the prospectivity of the area, this maiden drill progam only beginning to test true potential of the project.
The primary exploration focus will now shift to our York Harbour Copper project as we prepare to get the geophysics and drilling activites underway. The second half of this year is set to be an exciting period for the company as we look to grow the potential of what is an already very promising asset.”

Firetail holds a Binding Option Agreement for the acquisition of up to 80% of the York Harbour Project2 via a staged earn-in. The Project is a Cyprus-type volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) copper exploration project covering 189 contiguous claims (~47km2) of highly prospective geology, hosting the historic, high grade York Harbour Copper Mine.
The proposed York Harbour acquisition provides an advanced exploration project that complements Firetail’s existing portfolio of copper and battery metals projects. York Harbour was undeveloped and underexplored, however increasing battery and electrification metals commodity demand has brought this prospective project back into focus.
