Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – August 21, 2024) – New Destiny Mining Corp. (TSXV: NED)(the “Company” or “DUTCH“) provides a further update on the 2024 exploration program at the Treasure Mountain project, near Princeton, BC.

Drilling continues at the Treasure Mountain property with six holes completed to date totaling 1060 metres. All holes were drilled in the Railroad area of ​​copper-silver mineralisation.

Hole 6 (TMN24-06) targeted a prominent magnetic anomaly revealed in regional survey data and located just north of the Railroad Zone. The magnetic high anomaly measures approximately 1 km in diameter and is interpreted to be caused by an intrusion at depth. The target is a potential mineralized porphyry intrusion that could be the feeder to the Railroad Copper Zone (Figure 1).

A mineralized zone was intersected from 19.33 to 26.93 (7.6 meters) characterized by disseminated, vein- and breccia-hosted chalcopyrite and pyrite (1-2% each). The mineralized zone is adjacent to a 7.3 m interval of altered porphyry dike. The hole was drilled to a total depth of 429.3 m and intersected multiple altered felsic porphyry dikes. A total of 24 intervals or 70.6 m in length (16% of the hole) consisted of altered felsic porphyry. The results confirm the presence of porphyry intrusion associated with the magnetic anomaly.

Hole 6 was also drilled below a copper soil anomaly that reached the boundary of a 2015 soil survey and contained values ​​up to 730 ppm (Figure 2).

Hole 7 targets another area of ​​anomalous soil copper (values ​​up to 112 ppm copper) southeast of the Railroad quarries (Figure 2). An attempt to excavate this area in 2019 failed due to swampy soils, so the anomaly remained untested. Malachite copper mineralization is present in the road cut near the planned position of this hole.
