Where rocks meet reason
A copper district is an argument made of evidence. This is that evidence, explained in plain language.
Understanding the geology is understanding the opportunity
Sediment-hosted copper systems are not read from a single drill hole. They are read from stratigraphy, structure, mineralogy and alteration — together, across a district.
The Learning Centre sets out how those elements work at Koocanusa, so that the project can be judged on the same evidence our own geologists use.
