Acquisition Of Significant New Tenement Package Adjacent To Lana Corina

Culpeo Minerals Limited (“Culpeo” or the “Company”) (ASX:CPO, OTCQB:CPORF) is pleased to announce the acquisition of an 80% interest in the Fortuna Project, approximately 10km north of its existing Lana Corina Copper and Molybdenum Project in the highly prospective Coastal Belt of Chile.


HIGHLIGHTS

  • Complementary acquisition of 80% interest in the Fortuna Project increases copper exploration landholdings by 300% in the highly prospective coastal metallogenic belt of Chile.
  • No upfront consideration, with trailing monthly payments over a five-year period totalling US$600,0001.
  • Untested Fortuna Project hosts multiple broad zones of copper mineralisation outcropping at surface, measuring 1,000m in length and 500m in width (Figure 1).
  • Historical channel sampling at surface returned wide, high-grade zones including:
    • 150m @ 1.31% CuEq2;
    • 102m @ 1.25% CuEq; and
    • 173m @ 0.86% CuEq.
  • The Fortuna Project is highly complementary to Culpeo’s Lana Corina Project, which returned drill intersections of 257m @ 1.10% CuEq3, 173m @ 1.09% CuEq4 and 169m @ 1.21% CuEq5.
  • The new concessions are fully granted, allowing rapid exploration.

Culpeo Minerals’ Managing Director, Max Tuesley, commented:

“The coastal metallogenic belt that hosts the Lana Corina Project, is a highly prospective district, proven by our discovery of the significant outcropping copper and molybdenum mineralisation at the Lana Corina Project.

“Knowledge gained over the past 18 months during exploration drilling programs at Lana Corina and the identification of widespread copper at Vista Montana, coupled with our understanding of the wider regional controls of mineralisation, has enabled us to identify multiple additional projects and secure favourable exploration areas for the Company with the Fortuna Project.

“Our exploration team continue to look for opportunities to create and accelerate shareholder value, evidenced by this significant increase to our copper footprint within the region”.

Fortuna Project

The Fortuna Project concessions are located 10km north of Lana Corina and consist of four additional prospects: La Florida, El Quillay, Vaca Muerta and Piedra Dura (Figure 2). Extensive outcropping copper mineralisation and historic mining operations are present throughout the project area (Figure 3).

Nine Mile samples up to 18.27% Cu at Wedge

NINE MILE METALS ANNOUNCES XRF HIGH-GRADE RESULTS UP TO 18.27% COPPER FROM THE UPCOMING DRILL AREA AT THE WEDGE PROJECT, BATHURST, NEW BRUNSWICK

Nine Mile Metals Ltd. has released XRF (X-ray fluorescence) results for volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) mineralization grab samples collected from the coming drill area on the Wedge VMS project in the world-famous Bathurst mining camp (BMC) in New Brunswick, Canada. Discovered in 1956, Cominco operated the Wedge mine between 1962 and 1968, producing 1.5 million tonnes of predominantly copper ore. At the time of closure (head pillar collapsed), only the upper portion of the deposit was mined. The expectation is that the lower 60 per cent plus remains untouched based upon recent drill testing and extends at depth with the 3-D modelling.
