Copper Lake Provides an Update on Gold Potential on Its Marshall Lake Copper-Zinc-Silver Massive Sulphide Property, Northwestern Ontario
MWN-AI** Summary
Copper Lake Resources Ltd. (TSXV: CPL), a Canadian mineral exploration company, has announced promising updates regarding the gold potential of its Marshall Lake property, located in northwestern Ontario. Following an assessment launched to explore the precious metals potential, the company has identified several new gold geochemical anomalies, benefiting from the current high gold prices. Historically, some surveys had overlooked gold analyses, prompting this renewed focus to identify new areas for exploration.
The Marshall Lake property hosts significant copper, zinc, and silver resources, and the company aims to simultaneously advance exploration of high-grade copper-zinc-silver zones while evaluating gold opportunities. CEO Terry MacDonald emphasized the property’s substantial historical drilling success and significant gold anomalies that have yet to be thoroughly explored, citing potential for multiple deposits akin to Noranda-style Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) camps.
Recent analyses include results from both a lake sediment survey conducted in 1981 and a soil sampling survey from 1991, revealing several areas with elevated gold values ranging from 10 to 200 parts per billion (ppb). The findings suggest that follow-up work is warranted in these anomalous areas to better assess their mineralization potential.
Copper Lake holds an 82.97% interest in the Marshall Lake project, which comprises 233 claims and 52 mining leases, along with additional claims staked in 2018 and 2020, covering approximately 220 square kilometers. The project is strategically located near infrastructure, enhancing its accessibility for year-round operations. As the company progresses with its exploration programs, the management is optimistic about the potential for new discoveries at Marshall Lake, particularly in light of the historic data that remains unexamined.
MWN-AI** Analysis
Copper Lake Resources Ltd. (TSXV: CPL) has recently updated the market regarding its Marshall Lake property, revealing promising gold potential in addition to its known copper-zinc-silver grades. The identification of several gold geochemical anomalies not only adds considerable value to the property but also aligns with the broader bullish trend in gold prices, making this an opportune moment for investors to consider the stock.
The company’s efforts to reassess previous surveys, particularly those that had not fully analyzed gold potential, highlight a proactive approach to uncovering value. The historically significant drill results, which date back when gold prices were significantly lower, indicate a robust underlying mineralization that new technological applications could enhance. The potential to discover additional deposits within the Marshall Lake area, likened to a Noranda-style VMS camp, suggests extensive upside for the company.
With ongoing exploration efforts focusing both on the confirmed copper-zinc-silver intersections and the newly discovered gold anomalies, Copper Lake is strategically positioned to increase its resource base significantly. The distinguishing feature here is that some of these anomalies correlate with other promising geological indicators, such as mercury, which are commonly associated with gold deposits.
For investors, this update serves as a strong signal to closely monitor Copper Lake’s upcoming exploration activities. Given the current market environment’s favorable sentiment towards gold and strategic positioning in a historically mineral-rich region of Ontario, this could be an opportune entry point. Stakeholders might consider not only the short-term effects of exploration success but also the long-term potential that might arise from a successfully delineated resource across multiple precious and base-metal targets at Marshall Lake.
In conclusion, investors looking for exposure to the exploration and development sector in resource-rich Canada should keep Copper Lake on their radar as it embarks on an exciting exploration phase that could yield substantial rewards.

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - October 29, 2025) - Copper Lake Resources Ltd. (TSXV: CPL) (FSE: W0I) ("Copper Lake" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that further to its news release on October 9, 2025, the Company has identified a number of additional compelling gold geochemical anomalies on its Marshall Lake copper-zinc-silver volcanogenic massive sulphide property (the "Property"), located in northwestern Ontario. The gold anomalies identified emerged from an ongoing assessment of the precious-metals potential at Marshall Lake, undertaken to capitalize on the current high gold price. In some surveys, gold analyses were either not undertaken, were minimal in number, or if completed, were not followed-up on. The objective of this study was to identify new areas prospective for gold, silver and base-metal mineralization from the Marshall Lake database, to assist in future exploration targeting.
The follow-up exploration work on these anomalies will be done in conjunction with the ongoing exploration of the property which is currently focusing on the high-grade copper-zinc-silver intersects in the Teck Hill-Gazooma and Gazooma North-RM-Lease on the western areas of the property (see news release dated February 21, 2025).
Terry MacDonald, CEO commented: "The Marshall Lake property is a large property in a prolific mining area. The property has several zones where there have been some very good drill results over significant widths - some of these dating back decades when the price of gold was $45 per ounce, including these gold anomalies and historic gold drill results that have not been followed up. While we will continue with exploration at the Conductive Centre on the Billiton deposit area, these other zones we are accessible year-round and give us the opportunity to apply the most current geophysics to these areas, and to follow up on the premise that Marshall Lake could be a Noranda style VMS camp with several deposits. We are eagerly looking forward to this next work program and to following up on the promising gold zones."
An examination of the Property's geochemical database revealed two surveys that yielded positive results for gold; these include a lake sediment survey and a soil sampling survey as documented below.
Historic Geochemical Survey Results:
Lake Sediment Survey, Dungarvon Resources Ltd., 19811
A lake sediment survey was completed by Dungarvon Resources over the western portion of Marshall Lake on the Property, in the winter of 1981. The survey covered a large area located to the east of the Billiton deposit (see Figure 1). The Billiton deposit hosts a historical resource of 2.2 MT at 4.20% zinc, 1.34% copper & 2.05 oz/ton silver2.

Three significant areas with anomalous gold were defined by the survey (see Figure 2). Grid A includes several small gold anomalies with values ranging from 10 to 65 ppb Au. Grid B contains the highest gold values and is the most extensive of the gold anomalies in terms of area. Anomalous gold values for Grid B range from 15 to 200 ppb Au. The Grid C anomaly contains gold values ranging from 10 to 70 ppb Au. Notably, this anomaly coincides with a prominent mercury anomaly (Hg), a common pathfinder element associated with gold mineralization.

Samples of lake bottom sediment were collected with a cylindrical free-fall sampler at intervals of 30 metres along north-south oriented lines, spaced 328 metres apart over grids A, B and C. Samples comprised a combination of organic gels and non-organic matter, resembling clays in composition. Water depths ranged from 0.6 to 8.0 metres with a total of 421 samples of lake-bottom sediment collected during the survey.
Soil Sampling Survey, Dungarvon Resources Ltd., 19813
A soil sampling survey was completed by Dungarvon Resources in 1991, in the same area of the Property as the lake sediment survey summarized above. A total of 1,131 soil samples were collected in efforts to define prospective target areas on land, peripheral to the large gold anomalies yielded by the lake sediment survey.
Several gold-in-soil anomalies were outlined by the survey, with the most prominent being Anomaly 1 (see Figure 2). Anomaly 1 contains several elevated gold-in-soil values in an area with dimensions of 300 metres by 800 metres and oriented in a north-south direction. Gold values within Anomaly 1 contain 17 sites with gold values ranging from >5 to 100 ppb Au. In addition to gold, this anomaly contains high values for Cu, Pb, Zn and Ag. The author of the report documenting these results stated that 'a local bedrock source for gold-in-soils was likely'.
Soil samples were collected with a soil auger and were collected in either the A or B soil horizons.
In the case of both the lake sediment and soil sampling surveys, there was no follow-up performed on the anomalous areas containing significant gold values. A follow-up is clearly warranted given that the anomalies represent new areas on the Property prospective for precious and base-metal mineralization, most significant of which are the targets beneath the waters of Marshall Lake.
