Nathan Tribble P.Geo, Director commented: “The Chapais Property is well situated in a prolific region that has produced over 1 billion pounds of copper and 1 million ounces of gold. It’s exciting to see the large CARDS AI generated targets within favorable rock types that were host to the historic Perry and Springer mines adjacent to our land package. During this new supercycle of electrification metals this is a fabulous project that should gain a lot of attention here in short order.”
Dinesh Kandanchatha, Chairman & Interim CEO commented: “As we engage with our strategic review, the management team of Windfall is looking to maximize the value of the company’s resource assets. With the demand for Copper and other base metals, Windfall is looking to develop this asset with the right operational partner.

Geological & Historical context
- – The Chapais area is host to four past producing mines which from 1953 to 1991 producing well over 1 billion pounds of copper and 1 million ounces of gold (Sigeom, MRN and Figure 1)
– The Chapais property is located in the upper part of the stratigraphic volcanic sequences of northeastern Abitibi volcanic belt, where the ultramafic Cumming Complex intrudes mafic and felsic rocks of the Waconichi Formation and mafic rocks of the upper Roy Group.
– Mineralization on the Chapais property may be of Opémiska style copper-gold vein type, particularly given its proximity to the Springer and Perry mines. The mineralized veins of the Springer mine are restricted to fracture networks contained in the ophitic parts of the gabbroic Venture sill, which continues into the Chapais property.
