⚒️ During the quarter under review, the Company’s team of Geologists continued the extensive task of re-logging and re-interpretation of the geological system at the Llahuin Copper/Gold/Moly Project, following the results of over 20km of historical diamond core.
The geological re-interpretation work shows scale, as a substantial structurally controlled porphyry/breccia system is evident across the whole central deposit, which may continue across the other two deposits Cerro De Oro and Ferrocarril.
This is why, whilst the re-interpretation work is extensive and a significant process, it is extremely important and considered a positive for the Llahuin Project, as it will add to the ability to scale up on open pit and deeper underground targets to materially add to the copper endowment of the project.
A best result of 440m at 0.75% CuEq (inc 208m at 1.2% CuEq from 2m depth) was previously intersected in drillhole DDLLA021 at the Central Porphyry.
Rockchips at Colina2 show many high grade copper oxide targets with a best result of 3.04% Cu (3.88% CuEq) and 9.2g/t Ag in the northwest of the project area.
The Llahuin and Colina2 Projects sit within the newly recognised NW metallogenic domain which also hosts the giant Los Pelambres Copper Mine (Figure 1).

⚒️ On 8 November 2022, the Company reported a substantial 1.9km long copper in soil anomaly (+800ppm Cu) identified along the Cerro-Ferro trend, interpreted as one large system, with indicated width of 200m to 300m with a peak value of 1.4% Cu.

⚒️ On 29 November 2022, the Company reported a substantial copper in soil anomaly identified in the Southern part of the Llahuin Project with a peak value of 0.19% Cu. The anomaly has a similar footprint to the Central Porphyry which has not been previoulsy been drilled.
