Bellhaven Copper & Gold Inc. (TSXV:BHV) provided updates from activity at the La Mina Project and outlined plans for 2013.

As quoted in the press release:

The La Garrucha porphyry gold-copper target is approximately 700m east of Bellhaven’s 100% controlled La Cantera deposit (~1M oz of gold in inferred resources – see resource details below). The next phase of drilling at La Garrucha includes 6 holes totaling approximately 2,000 metres, to commence during the first quarter of 2013. The Company has already secured surface access and drilling permits for the initial 2013 drill program at La Garrucha.

Bellhaven’s CEO, Patrick Highsmith, said:

The last round of drilling at La Garrucha ended with +1.0 g/t gold in the bottom of hole LME-1047, so the drill is moving there this month to follow up that result. Garrucha is a known porphyry gold-copper system that appears to be the heart of the La Mina district as we currently understand it.
