Alianza Minerals Ltd. reported that it has acquired additional data pertaining to the Company's Yanac Copper Project in Peru. Yanac is a drill-ready copper porphyry project located 50 km northeast of the town of Chincha Alta and 60 km from the Pacific coast. The data obtained is from a five hole reverse circulation drill program totaling 1,135 metres conducted in 2005 under a joint-venture between the Japan Oil, Gas, and Metals Corporation (JOGMEC) and Phelps Dodge. One hole from the 2005 program returned 232 metres averaging 0.23% Cu and 0.015% Mo. Interrogation of the detailed drill log reveals that this hole was drilled largely within phyllic altered rocks leaving the enticing possibility that the potassic core of the system has not been properly tested. The data from the program will be further evaluated and incorporated into the existing database to target follow up drilling. Work on the property identified a 1.2 by 0.9 km target area consisting of copper-molybdenum soil geochemistry, chargeability and magnetics anomalies. This work was funded through an Alliance between Alianza's predecessor, Estrella Gold and Cliffs Natural Resources in 2011-2014. This defined a target area of porphyry style alteration and mineralization (pyrite-chalcopyrite-copper oxide-molybdenite) surrounded by a halo of quartz-pyrite veining. Chargeability anomalies suggest the porphyry target may extend at depth. A change in corporate direction at Cliffs resulted in termination of the alliance prior to the planned drilling.
