Algo Grande Copper Corp. Algo provided an exploration update on its 100%- owned Adelita Project in Sonora, Mexico. The update includes the successful completion of the Company's Phase I drill program at the flagship Cerro Grande Skarn and the results of a property-wide surface prospecting campaign, during which 49 rock samples were collected, including 19 samples grading above 1% Cu.
The campaign confirmed coppergoldsilver mineralization across multiple target areas, including Potrero South, Las Trancas, Cerro Grande Northwest, La Molina and Mezquital, and led to the discovery of a new skarn zone at Potrero South target, located approximately 3 km south of the Cerro Grande central discovery, with over 300 metres of surface exposure and samples exceeding 3% Cu. Additionally, the program successfully confirmed mineralization at targets generated through the Company's machine learning exploration program, including the emerging La Molina target. Phase I Drill Program: Assays Pending: All outstanding drill core from hole AG_GC_001, AG_GC_002 (450m-600m), AG_GC_003 and AG_GC_004 from the recently completed Phase I drill program have been delivered to ALS Hermosillo Limited: Core samples have been securely transported and logged, Sample preparation and geochemical analysis are underway.
Assay results are expected in the coming weeks. The Phase I program was designed to expand and better define mineralization within the Cerro Grande Skarn system, while testing the vertical and lateral continuity of previously identified outcropping high-grade copper-gold-silver mineralization within a 300m strike zone. In total, five high-grade skarn horizons now define the Cerro Grande mineralized system.
Intercepts from hole AG_GC_002 across these horizons returned more than 70 metres of cumulative mineralization, including 36 metres grading above 1% Cu. In parallel with drilling, the Company completed a successful property-wide prospecting geological mapping campaign in January. 19 rock samples with above 1% Cu, and an outstanding sample with 41.4% Cu; Identification of new mineral occurrences across the broader Adelita property; Discovery of an additional skarn occurrence located approximately 3 kilometers South from the Cerro Grande discovery, at the Potrero South target, with an outcropping extent of 300 metres at surface; Confirmation of mineralization on the northwest side of Cerro Grande, indicating that mineralization occurs on both limbs of the folded limestone unit hosting the Cerro Grande Skarn system; First reconnaissance campaign completed at the Las Tablas target, confirming mineralization and prospective geology in a previously underexplored area; Identification of tourmaline-breccias in the Mezquital Porphyry target area; Advancement of geological knowledge of the Las Trancas target including an outstanding sample with 41.4 % Cu, 1.97 g/t Au 1,570 g/t Ag; Identification of new priority target - La Molina, produced by Machine Learning algorithms, in an area with lack of geochemical and geophysical information.
