Canadian Critical Minerals (CCMI) is intensifying its focus on the Bull River Mine (BRM) project near Cranbrook, British Columbia. As a high-grade advanced underground copper mine in the province, BRM features extensive underground infrastructure. Its location benefits from existing amenities like roads, power supply, rail access, and proximity to mining communities.
Resource Estimates and Deposit Characteristics
The BRM project encompasses both Indicated and Inferred Resources with notable average thickness. The deposit is primarily composed of sulphide-bearing quartz carbonate veins, rich in minerals like pyrite, pyrrhotite, and chalcopyrite. Classified as a Churchill-type vein copper-silver deposit, BRM’s resource size and grade profiles exceed typical expectations for such deposits, with potential for expansion.
Recent Drilling Programs Highlight Expansion Possibilities
The 2021 drilling program at BRM yielded promising results, indicating the possibility of extending the mine’s resources. The drilling focused on exploring the depth and strike extensions of the vein systems, with all intersections meeting or exceeding mining width requirements.
