Questcorp Mining conducting IP survey at North Island Copper Project, British Columbia
Questcorp Mining Inc. [CSE: QQQ; OTCQB: QQCMF; FSE: D910] reported the start its 2026 induced polarization (IP) survey at its 1,168-hectare North Island Copper Project located near Port Hardy on northern Vancouver Island, British Columbia.
The 10-15 line-km IP program is being conducted by Peter E. Walcott & Associates Limited of Coquitlam, British Columbia.
The 2026 IP survey is designed to confirm and refine historical geophysical targets associated with the Marisa Zone porphyry copper system and to support the development of follow-up drill targets.
In 1992, two of five diamond drill holes completed to test a 1991 IP chargeability anomaly intersected copper mineralization, including: 0.078% copper over 56.39 metres (DDH92-01) and 0.041% copper over 70.71 metres (DDH92-03). Both intercepts were encountered within altered quartz diorite, with DDH92-03 reporting increasing copper grades at depth.
The current survey lines will follow the historical survey azimuth and will be positioned midway between the 1992 IP lines to enhance data resolution across the target area. Historical and newly acquired datasets will be integrated to generate updated chargeability and resistivity elevation models, as well as pseudosection interpretations. The objective is to improve subsurface targeting precision ahead of a potential drill program.
“The North Island Copper Project represents a compelling porphyry copper target with demonstrated historical mineralization,” stated Saf Dhillon, President and CEO. “This IP program is a disciplined step toward refining our geological model and advancing toward drill-ready targets. With our recent financings completed, the Company is well positioned to execute its planned exploration programs while maintaining a prudent approach to capital deployment.”
The company cautions that a Qualified Person has not verified the historical exploration data referenced in this release.
