White Cliff Minerals (ASX:WCN) powers into Hulk with copper veins still open at Danvers

In the unforgiving latitudes of Nunavut, Canada, White Cliff Minerals (ASX:WCN) is quietly piecing together what could be a company-making copper discovery at its 100%-owned Rae Project—an effort that’s starting to bear fruit with extensive sulphides intercepted across all step-out drill holes.

The standout intersection came from hole DAN25008, with a jaw-dropping 175 metres of visually identified sulphides starting just 7 metres downhole and ending still in mineralisation.

While assays are pending, Managing Director Troy Whittaker believes the result speaks volumes:

“a massive 175m of continuous sulphides that ended in what we believe to be copper mineralisation”.

Highlights:

• DAN25008: 175m of sulphides from 7m, ended in mineralisation

• DAN25005: 91m from surface of sulphides including high chalcocite content

• DAN25007: 71m zone from 61m depth plus multiple other mineralised intercepts

• Extensive veining of chalcocite and bornite visually confirmed across drillholes

With assays expected in the next 3–6 weeks, it’s the structure—not just the numbers—that’s turning heads.

The company’s growing confidence in the mineral system is underpinned by strike and dip continuity aligning with historical shallow drilling and emerging structural understanding.

Adding to the intrigue is the Hulk target, now being drilled following the Danvers program.

Hulk is no ordinary wildcat—beneath it lies a basin-wide geophysical conductor across a massive ±150km² footprint.

This is classic elephant-hunting territory, and White Cliff Minerals is betting on a sediment-hosted copper system that echoes the style and scale of the Central African Copperbelt.

The story isn’t just underground. White Cliff also confirmed copper mineralisation at surface—4.7 kilometres along strike from Danvers—bolstering confidence in the broader NE/SW structural corridor and suggesting the mineral system could have considerable lateral extent.

One grab sample, V749909, showed 20% chalcocite visually.

Whittaker summed up the significance neatly:

“The true extent of the region’s copper potential is now becoming increasingly clear… [and] the structural plumbing… is now proven fertile with significant depth extent.”

With the rig turning at Hulk, assays in the lab, and surface sampling hinting at more to come, White Cliff is closing in on a rare opportunity: a district-scale copper system hiding in plain sight.

The next few weeks could well define the company’s trajectory for years to come.
