Operating Activities

Lana Corina Copper and Molybdenum Project

Drilling Continues to Intersect Significant Copper Mineralisation

During the Quarter, the Company completed the Phase 2 drilling program at the Lana Corina Copper and Molybdenum Project in Chile (“Lana Corina” or the “Project”).

The Phase 2 drilling program was designed to expand the mineralised footprint at the Project, which remains open in all directions and at depth. The significant results from the Phase 2 drilling program (ASX announcement 16 January 2023) include:

  • 104m @ 0.74% Cu & 73ppm Mo (0.81% CuEq) in CMLCD001 from 155m3;
  • 257m @ 0.95% Cu & 81ppm Mo (1.10% CuEq) in CMLCD002 from 170m4;
  • 173m @ 1.05% Cu & 50ppm Mo (1.09% CuEq) in CMLCD003 from 313m5;
  • 81m @ 1.06% Cu & 145ppm Mo (1.16% CuEq) in CMLCD005 from 302.1m6; and
  • 113m @ 0.60% Cu & 122ppm Mo (0.68% CuEq) in CMLCD009 from 331m7.

Geochemical Survey Identifies Multiple Surface Targets at Lana Corina

The Company completed a soil geochemical survey at the Vista Montana Prospect within the Lana Corina Project, resulting in the identification of five new high-priority targets within a >3km-long copper alteration zone defined by the geochemistry survey (Figure 1). This increases the overall strike length of the Cu-mineralised trend at Lana Corina to over 3km.

Figure 1: Plan view of the northeast sector, Vista Montana Prospect, of the Lana Corina Project, showing copper mineralisation detected in soil-geochemistry sampling program over a strike distance of >3km.

The soil geochemistry program was undertaken on a 50m x 100m grid and consisted of 321 samples in total. The results indicate that the overall pattern of the Cu, Cu + Mo, Cu/Mn and alkali elements suggest a copper bearing alteration zone is present at Vista Montana and is over three times the size of the Lana Corina mineralised zone defined from drilling to date (Figure 2).
