Regional Copper Potential
Thunder Copper is located in Canada, North America. The surrounding region has historically demonstrated a very high potential for copper endowment and is very proximal to other copper properties. Physical setting (very high elevation, moderate relief, continental climate) shapes access, seasonality, and operating costs. Geologically, the area is dominated by Basic volcanic rocks, under moderately thick lithosphere with thin sedimentary cover in a Meso- and Cenozoic Orogen tectonic province—factors that inform both deposit style and development complexity.
Drill Intercepts
Reported results (Copper) average very low grade, very long, and very deep. The most recent intercepts are benchmarked against a global copper database.
