Getty Copper launches first major drill program in 30 years

Getty Copper CEO Ryan O’Regan joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company’s renewed exploration efforts in the prolific Highland Valley copper district of British Columbia, where Getty Copper has launched its first major drilling campaign in approximately 30 years. O’Regan highlighted the company’s nearly 25,000-hectare land package located adjacent to the historic Highland Valley mining camp, emphasizing both the historical resource base and the broader district-scale exploration opportunity. Getty Copper is currently focused on advancing the Getty North project while also evaluating additional opportunities at Getty South and several other high-priority regional targets. The company has initiated a 10,000-metre drilling program aimed at supporting metallurgical studies, improving geological understanding, and guiding future resource development decisions. Management believes the extensive historical database accumulated from previous exploration campaigns provides a strong platform for modern exploration efforts. O’Regan explained that Getty Copper is combining this legacy geological information with updated exploration technologies to identify potentially overlooked opportunities across the district. Discussing the broader market backdrop, O’Regan described copper as a compelling long-term commodity driven by growing demand linked to electrification and critical mineral supply chains. He also stressed the strategic advantage of operating within an established Canadian mining jurisdiction supported by infrastructure, skilled labour, and a long history of mineral development. The discussion also touched on the company’s treasury position, evolving drill strategy, and the positive long-term outlook for copper as governments and industry continue investing in critical minerals and energy transition initiatives. #gettycopper #gettycopper #tsxv #gtc #ryanoregan #GettyCopper #Copper #Mining #CriticalMinerals #BritishColumbia #Exploration #Drilling #CopperStocks #ResourceInvesting
