NevGold Expands Zeus Copper Project in Idaho: A New Development in the Hercules Copper Trend
Vancouver, British Columbia, March 20, 2025 – NevGold Corp. (NevGold or the Company), a mineral exploration company with a focus on copper projects, is thrilled to announce the expansion of its Zeus Copper Project in southwestern Idaho. The Company has staked an additional 147 claims, adding approximately 1,000 hectares or 10 square kilometers to the project area.
Strong Geological Prospectivity
The newly staked claims exhibit strong geological prospectivity, aligning with the emerging Hercules Copper Trend in the region. NevGold’s previous news releases from 2024 and 2025 have highlighted numerous geological similarities between the Zeus Copper Project and Hercules Metals Corp.’s (Hercules Metals) copper porphyry discovery at the Hercules Project. These similarities include comparable soil survey geochemical results.
Geochemical Surveys and Drill Programs
The Company’s geochemical surveys and drill programs at Zeus have identified anomalous copper, molybdenum, and gold values. These findings suggest the presence of a large-scale copper system. The recently expanded project area now covers a total of 1,744 hectares or 17.44 square kilometers.
Impact on Local Communities and Economy
For local communities in the area, the expansion of the Zeus Copper Project could mean increased economic opportunities. The potential development of a copper mine could lead to job creation, infrastructure improvements, and revenue for local governments. Moreover, the mining industry is known for its significant contributions to the economy, both in terms of employment and tax revenues.
Global Implications
On a larger scale, the expansion of NevGold’s Zeus Copper Project adds to the growing momentum of the copper industry. Copper is an essential metal used in various industries, including construction, manufacturing, and renewable energy. With the increasing demand for copper in the context of the global energy transition, the discovery and development of new copper deposits are crucial.
Conclusion
NevGold’s expansion of the Zeus Copper Project in Idaho represents an exciting development in the emerging Hercules Copper Trend. The discovery of strong geological prospectivity and the potential for a large-scale copper system could lead to significant economic opportunities for local communities and contribute to the global copper industry. As the Company continues its exploration efforts, the potential impact on both the local and global scale is worth monitoring.
