Magna Mining CEO Jason Jessup stated: "The acquisition of the Baldwin Copper Patents is in line with our strategy to further consolidate the Shakespeare Property and acquire prospective properties that have potential synergies with our existing Shakespeare Mine project. The most recently reported diamond drilling on these claims was in the 1950's. Ursa Major Minerals Inc. (a subsidiary of Magna Mining) flew an airborne VTEM survey in 2015, which identified a strong EM anomaly on the Baldwin Copper Patents. Follow-up work will be completed later in 2021. The claims are located 600m west of our Springer Showing where Magna samples have returned assays up to 7.97% Cu, 0.54 g/t Au and 27 gpt Ag* on surface in 2018."
