Zincore Metals Confirms High Priority Copper Targets on AZOD

 Zincore Metals Inc. (TSX:ZNC,BVL:ZNC) confirmed three areas on the Company’s 100%-owned Accha Zinc Oxide District (AZOD) as high priority copper targets, resulting from exploration carried out with First Quantum Minerals.

As quoted in the press release:

…three areas on the Company’s 100%-owned Accha Zinc Oxide District (“AZOD”) have been confirmed as high priority copper targets as the result of exploration carried out with First Quantum Minerals (“First Quantum”). The two companies have been conducting work at Zincore’s AZOD properties with the goal of confirming the potential for copper targets originally identified during an extensive regional reconnaissance exploration program carried out in late 2012. Zincore’s 50,000 hectare AZOD property package is located in the prolific Yauri-Andahuaylas copper belt, near GlencoreXtsrata’s Las Bambas and First Quantum’s Haquira projects.

Zincore Metals Inc. CEO and President, Jorge Benavides, said:

These results provide further evidence of the copper exploration potential we have always believed exists within our AZOD property package beyond the zinc oxide project we are most often associated with. Despite being located in an area with prolific copper mining and project development activities, the copper potential of the AZOD property package was un-tested until after we discovered the first indications of Dolores in 2009. Our initial exploration work at Dolores was successful and helped us to secure a strategic partnership with First Quantum to first explore Dolores and later, the entire AZOD property package.
