Pampa Metals Corp. advised that preparatory works for the follow-up diamond drill program designed to test the depth and lateral extension of known mineralization at Piuquenes are advancing, with camp setup and platform preparation nearing completion. Drilling is scheduled to commence in mid-January 2024, with assay results to follow shortly thereafter.

In November 2023, Pampa Metals assayed and re-logged Anglo-American's 2016 diamond borehole of 920.2 m length which had crossed the mineral zones previously drilled by Inmet Mining Corporation (IMC). These results were reported in a 5 December 2023 News Release and included: 558.2 m (362-920.2 m EOH) @ 0.38% Cu & 0.42 g/t Au & 2.4 g/t Ag (0.73% CuEq); Including: 130 m (362-492 m) @ 0.81% Cu & 0.6 g/t Au & 4 g/t Ag (1.31 % CuEq); 180 m (362-542 m) @ 0.71% Cu & 0.61 g/t Au & 3.8 g/t Ag (1.,22% CuEq); and 296 m (362-658 m) @ 0.5 % Cu & 0.5 g/t Au & 2".
