Frequently Asked Questions
Is 0.81% Cu considered high-grade for a copper project?+
0.81% Cu is a solid grade for near-surface, open-pit copper mining and is generally above the marginal economics threshold for many jurisdictions. The depth of 39.5m makes it economically favorable for early-stage development.
What does 'mineralization remains open' mean for investors?+
Open mineralization indicates the copper body extends beyond the area tested by drilling, suggesting more tonnage could be discovered with further exploration and potentially increasing resource estimates.
Why is the 30-year gap since the last drill program significant?+
Modern drilling, geophysics (IP), and metallurgical techniques are significantly more efficient than historical methods, so Getty's new program may unlock value previously unrecognized and de-risk the asset.
When should investors expect an updated resource estimate?+
The company has 14 holes pending assays; typically, a formal resource estimate requires compilation and modeling of results, which could take several months after assays are received.
