VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / February 23, 2023 / Faraday Copper Corp. (" Faraday " or the " Company ") (TSX:FDY)(OTCQX:CPPKF) is pleased to announce the results from three drill holes at its Copper Creek Project, located in Arizona, U.S. ("Copper Creek"). The three holes were drilled to confirm either continuity of high-grade mineralization or the potential extension of known mineralization outside of the open pit mineral resource.

Highlights

Paul Harbidge, President and CEO, commented "The results from our ongoing Phase II drill program continue to improve our confidence in the continuity of the high-grade mineralization within the open pit resource and confirm extensions to depth."

Drill hole FCD-22-018was collared north of the Copper Knight breccia and drilled to the southwest, testing the Copper Prince breccia and surrounding areas. This high-grade mineralization occurs as chalcopyrite breccia cement within Copper Prince. Mineralization remains open at depth and is interpreted to be connected to the massive sulphide mineralization reported in the news release dated January 17, 2023 (Figures 1 and 2).

Drill hole FCD-22-017was collared north of the Copper Knight breccia at the same drill pad as FCD-22-018 but was drilled to the northeast. This hole was drilled into the granodiorite host rock where no previous drill data existed. Disseminated mineralization was intersected grading 0.24% copper over 19.62 m from 98.18 m. This interval occurs at the margin of the pit shell used for the Mineral Resource Estimate and has the potential to convert waste to ore.

Drill hole FCD-22-010was collared north of the Holly breccia and drilled to the south. The hole intersected pyrite-cemented breccia from approximately 158 m to 220 m. In addition, several breccia intervals of 0.5 m to 3 m widths contain pyrite and minor chalcopyrite between 241 m and 263 m. While no significant copper mineralization was returned, based on sulphide zonation, chalcopyrite is expected to increase with depth and therefore the lower Holly breccia remains a target.

Next Steps

Phase II drilling continues and is focussed on three objectives:

Fifteen drill holes have been completed and the results for six holes have been released to date. The assay results for additional completed drill holes will be released as they are received, analyzed and confirmed by the Company.

Sampling Methodology, Chain of Custody, Quality Control and Quality Assurance

All sampling was conducted under the supervision of the Company's geologists and the chain of custody from Copper Creek to the independent sample preparation facility, ALS Laboratories in Tucson, AZ, was continuously monitored. The samples were taken as ½ core, over 2 m core length. Samples were crushed, pulverized and sample pulps were analyzed using industry standard analytical methods including a 4-Acid ICP-MS multielement package and an ICP-AES method for high-grade copper samples. Gold was analyzed on a 30 g aliquot by fire assay with an ICP-AES finish. A certified reference sample was inserted every 20 ^th sample. Coarse blanks were inserted every 20 ^th sample. Approximately 5% of the core samples were cut into ¼ core and submitted as field duplicates. On top of internal QA-QC protocol, additional blanks, reference materials and duplicates were inserted by the analytical laboratory according to their procedure. Data verification of the analytical results included a statistical analysis of the standards and blanks that must pass certain parameters for acceptance to ensure accurate and verifiable results.

Company Name Change

Recently I had the privilege of being a panelist on an Arizona Capitol Times webinar titled “The Future of Career and Technical Education in Arizona.” People from all across the great State of Arizona tuned in for a discussion on the history of CTE and where we see it heading in the future. One aspect that merits more discussion is the “why” behind the creation of Arizona’s Career Technical Education Districts (CTEDs) and how we are fulfilling promises made to voters and taxpayers.

When CTEDs were created in 1990, vocational education in Arizona was mostly traditional shop and home economics classes offered in high schools. Educators at the time in Arizona’s largest school district, Mesa Public Schools, realized vocational education needed to improve in order to meet the demands of industry and ensure students were qualified and prepared to enter the workforce. This meant increasing the quality of these programs with equipment, supplies, and training that met the latest industry standards, training that would be too expensive for one school or district to provide on its own. They pursued legislation allowing districts to pool resources by forming one technical district, a plan which would have to be approved by voters, “for the purpose of improving CTE offerings and serving students more cost-efficiently.”

This is how and why the East Valley Institute of Technology – Arizona’s first CTED – was born. After the legislation passed, voters in 10 East Valley school districts agreed to tax themselves to create EVIT, a CTED that would provide higher-quality career training in a cost-efficient way to better prepare students for employment in the modern workforce. (Voters in the Cave Creek Unified School District agreed in a 2018 election to also join the EVIT CTED.)

Legislation allowed EVIT to build central campuses featuring the latest equipment and technology that students residing in any of the member districts could attend. It also afforded high schools in partnering districts to still offer some vocational classes, known as CTED satellite programs. Like the state’s other 13 CTEDs, EVIT receives funding through local, state and federal sources based on student enrollment. The EVIT CTED levies a property tax of 5 cents per $100 of secondary net assessed property valuation and also qualifies for basic state aid to fund its central campuses. The EVIT CTED’s member school districts receive pass-through dollars from the CTED to support their satellite CTE courses.

CTE is one component of public education in which outcomes can be measured immediately. Students take state skills assessments to verify their attainment of technical knowledge and skills in a particular occupation or industry, and most programs prepare students to take a professional certification or licensing exam such as the Certified Nursing Assistant exam through the Arizona Board of Nursing or the Cosmetology exam through the state Board of Cosmetology. We are also required to track the placement of our students in college, the military, or jobs related to their training after they graduate from high school. But none of these outcomes are possible if students don’t persist from the first course of a program to the next.

In the EVIT CTED, we see large numbers of students enrolling in the first course of satellite programs, but not persisting to the second course in the program. The number of students declines further from the second course to the third. We also see this pattern to a lesser extent in some of our central campus programs. This does not improve CTE, is not providing CTE in a cost-efficient manner, and does not help build a workforce for Arizona industries in dire need of skilled workers and professionals. It does not meet the promises that were made to taxpayers.

The EVIT Governing Board has begun addressing this issue by taking a closer look at which central campus programs should continue to be offered and whether to approve new satellite programs in our school districts, especially if those programs are already offered at a central campus. It does not make sense, and is poor stewardship of tax dollars, to continue expanding or duplicating programs in which students do not persist to a viable outcome. Our taxpayers deserve better and students deserve better.

Career and technical education is a wonderful thing when it is done right. It raises graduation rates by keeping students engaged in learning that is relevant to them. It gives students a leg up on being prepared for the workforce and college. For students who do not intend to go to college, CTE is their preparation for employment upon graduation from high school. But expanding CTE so more students can be placed into electives, students who may have no intention of making that elective their career path, is not the promise we made to our communities and taxpayers over 30 years ago. It does not match the “why” for which CTEDs were created.

Dr. Chad Wilson is superintendent of the East Valley Institute of Technology, a Career Technical Education District serving students who reside in the Apache Junction, Cave Creek, Chandler, Fountain Hills, Gilbert, Higley, J.O. Combs, Kyrene Elementary, Mesa, Queen Creek, Scottsdale, Tempe Elementary and Tempe Union districts.

For 11 years, Stafford Swearingen has been a fixture at Bothwell Regional Health Center, serving in many volunteer roles. He joined the Bothwell Foundation Board of Directors in 2011 and held terms as vice president and president. In 2019 Swearingen was appointed to the Bothwell Board of Trustees yet remained on the foundation board as trustee liaison.

After moving out of state in December, Swearingen left his trustee position; however, he is still a Bothwell Foundation board member.

Lauren Thiel-Payne, foundation executive director, said Swearingen’s decade-long leadership has been instrumental in the foundation’s success and plans, citing his genuine warmth, community connections and desire to lead by example.

“Stafford is so welcoming to everyone and is an amazing asset to our board,” she said. “His knowledge of Sedalia — the history, community, businesses, really everything, has been so beneficial to me as well as the hospital. He also is the first to volunteer for an event, participate in new ideas and be there to lend a helping hand.”

Over the past 18 months, the foundation has focused on growing its volunteer base by moving away from multiple events to increasing awareness of the health center, creating giving programs that anyone can participate in and thereby increasing the amount of support the foundation provides Bothwell. Thiel-Payne said one of Swearingen’s greatest accomplishments on the board has been his involvement in that transformation.

“Stafford wholeheartedly believed in the need to elevate the foundation and promised to recruit six new board members and help recruit six committee chairs,” she said. “He has stayed true to his word and helped us accomplish those goals.”

Swearingen said making the decision to change the direction of the foundation was easy and means ensuring the future of Bothwell Regional Health Center.

“Our hospital cannot survive in its current form without a thriving, growing and prospering foundation to financially support it,” he said. “Bothwell’s payer mix, which is the percentage of revenue that comes from private insurance, government insurance and self-pay patients, and the changing employment picture dictate an alternate source of funds for the hospital to continue to provide the services needed to keep our patients close to their homes and families.”

The foundation is a nonprofit organization formed in 2005 to assist Bothwell Regional Health Center and provide resources to keep health care local, state-of-the-art and close to home. In 17 years, more than $4.5 million has been given to Bothwell by the foundation through fundraising, special events and sound investments.

The foundation’s new structure has added six volunteer-led committees, including Special Prospects, Annual Giving, Community Relations, Employee Giving, Business Relations and Planned Giving. Adding in existing Wear Red for Women and Lub Dub committees, foundation volunteers now total more than 100. With a team that includes just one full-time and one part-time paid foundation staff members, recruiting volunteer talent and resources is critical to the organization’s ability to create awareness and raise funds.

“For the foundation to thrive, we have to have a strong volunteer base,” Thiel-Payne said. “We rely on volunteers to drive our committees, help share our message with the community and support our mission. We wouldn’t be here without our volunteers.”

While COVID-19 placed incredible financial strains on Bothwell for the last three years, Swearingen is confident Bothwell is in good hands.

“These people are the best,” he said. “The current leadership team, hospital and foundation boards, employees and volunteers are doing everything they can to ensure that those who need medical care are going to receive the best care they can deliver with the resources available. We simply need this hospital to flourish if our community is to grow and thrive.”

While Swearingen and his wife, Gena, now live in Cave Creek, Arizona, it doesn’t mean he won’t still be involved in the community and the foundation as a board member.

“It has truly been an honor to serve on the foundation and trustees’ boards and give back to an institution that has done so much for my family when needed,” he said. “Now, I’m just a regular Joe, but hopefully still contributing and making a difference.”
