Exploration and development company West Mining has received the necessary exploration approval required to start its first-ever exploration programme for the Blue Cove copper project, in Newfoundland.

The programme will consist of geological mapping, prospecting, grid establishment, soil geochemistry ground magnetometer and induced polarisation/resistivity surveying.

West says its geological team will mobilise to the property by the end of the week.

Three priority areas, Blue Cove, Ryles Barrisway and the Hilltop have been identified from previous prospecting on the property and these areas will be the focus of the bulk of the exploration work. Property-wide prospecting will also be undertaken to identify new areas of interest. The Blue Cove copper property has never seen a serious exploration programme and the company’s initial field efforts will help to guide future programmes.

West also owns the 9 000 ha Kena project, in south-eastern British Columbia.
