Altiplano Minerals Ltd. (TSX-V:APN) (OTCQB:ALTPF) (FWB:9AJ1) (“APN” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update for January’s activities of its Farellon Copper-Iron-Gold Project at the Historic Farellon Mine, near La Serena Chile.  The Company has completed the initial 2,000 tonne bulk sample of Cu-Fe-Au vein material.  To date, the Company has shipped a total of 867.19 tonnes of the bulk sample material for processing.
As quoted in the press release:

CEO John Williamson stated, “Since commencement of the Farellon Project we have targeted an average grade of greater than 2% Cu as a benchmark for proceeding with a second larger 5,000 tonne bulk sample.  Initial results for processing of the Farellon bulk sampling material have been very encouraging as our grab sampling, chip sampling, drilling and bulk sampling so far have all confirmed that Farellon has the Cu grade to warrant further testing with an emphasis on grade control, costing and mining parameters to facilitate a technical report.  Once all of the bulk sample material has been processed, we will determine next steps.”
