North Island Copper Property

Target Rich - Ripe For Discovery

NICP, is an exploration-stage covers 8 known documented copper-silver skarn type mineral occurrences, just north of the past producing BHP Island Copper Mine as well as showings of porphyry copper type mineralization in the island intrusives. The main access to the North Island Copper Property is via the Vancouver Island Highway 19 to a series of branch highways and logging roads west of Port Hardy that lead to Coal Harbour on Rupert Inlet.

  • BHP’s past producing Island Copper mine produced about 1227 million kilograms of f copper, 35,268 kilograms of gold, 360,800 kilograms of silver), 32 million kilograms of molybdenum and 236 kilograms of rhenium from 367 million tonnes of ore.
  • Island Copper lies 7.5km to the SE from NICP.
  • Northisle Copper and Gold Inc. is actively exploring several deposits and zones to the west of NCIP, with mineral resources currently defined at two of their deposits Red Dog and Hushamu. These two zones lie 15km to 31km to the west from NICP in the same suite of rocks.
  • The area has excellent infrastructure with a hydro line running through the property, maintained logging roads and a long mining history.

NICP has two main targets: auriferous base metal skarns associated with Quatsino limestones in the east and porphyry copper mineralization associated with the Island Intrusions in the west.

Questcorp is focussing on the Marisa porphyry target in the west where an historic induced polarization (IP) survey and follow up drilling met with initial success. Two of the five holes drilled into the chargeability high intersected significant copper mineralization to depths of 80 metres.

Hole DDH92-01 intersected 0.078% copper over 56.39 metres, including 0.171% copper over 16.17m, while DDH92-03 intersected 0.041% copper over 70.71 metres in an altered quartz diorite. Copper grades were increasing with depth in DDH92-03. These values were never followed up.

Next phase of exploration will be a 3D IP survey and then an initial drill program.
