San Marco Field Crews Expand Gold-Copper-Molybdenum Porphyry System on the 1068 Project

San Marco Resources (TSX VENTURE:SMN) (“San Marco” or the “Company”) announces that results from ongoing geological mapping and prospecting have confirmed and expanded the size potential of Target #1068 in Sonora State, Mexico, elevating the target to project status.
San Marco field crews completed geological and alteration mapping, stream sediment and rock chip sampling and petrographic analyses of select samples on the 1068 Project, a porphyry Gold-Copper- Molybdenum system identified by the Company’s generative program.
Highlights from the program include:

• Mapping increased the phyllic alteration (quartz, sericite, pyrite) halo surrounding the potassic alteration core to 1000m X 450 m, and defined an internal zone of strong phyllic stockwork developed in the volcanic lithocap.
• The primary target remains hypogene (sulphide) copper-gold-molybdenum mineralization hosted in feldspar/quart/biotite porphyry.
• Initial exploration program complete
• Surface access rights secured over main targets
• Application for drilling approval from the Mexican Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT) in process.
• Project is deemed to be drill ready.

San Marco’s CEO, Bob Willis stated:

“We are very fortunate to have discovered a copper, gold, moly porphyry environment so early in our regional generative exploration program. Phase I exploration at Project 1068 is complete, however, ongoing detailed geological and structural mapping, additional petrographic analysis will continue. The system is large and robust but complete testing requires sampling below the lithocap. Drilling is the next logical step to confirm if 1086 is the significant new porphyry discovery it currently appears to be.”
