HIGHLIGHTS
Drilling at the Tandayama-America Porphyry Copper-Gold Target at Cascabel is currently intersecting intense visible chalcopyrite2 copper sulphide mineralization within a quartz-diorite intrusion.
The mineralization intersected at Tandayama-America is very similar to the 'QD10' quartz-diorite source intrusion at the Alpala deposit on Cascabel 3km to the south. At Alpala, the QD10 source intrusion is almost wholly responsible for the presence of the high-grade core of the deposit which boasts
Rig 5 is drilling the first hole at Tandayama-America, TAD-20-001, and is at a current depth of 595m. Drilling initially intersected visible chalcopyrite copper sulphide mineralization from 55m depth, with significant increase in chalcopyrite abundance occurring from 327m. At 524.5m depth, drilling passed into a zone of intense visible chalcopyrite copper sulphide mineralization within a quartz-diorite intrusion.
Detailed core logging across the quartz-diorite intrusion intersected so far in TAD-20-001 estimates chalcopyrite percentages of up to 4 % by volume with associated porphyry style total quartz vein abundance of up to a measured 35 % by volume.
The Tandayama-America target characterized by coincident Cu-Mo-Au soil geochemical highs centred upon outcropping mineralization in Tandayama and America creeks, which remained untested previously due to the high demand of drilling rigs at the Alpala Deposit.
