Among the highlights, hole FCD-24-082 delivered 118.3 metres (true width 68 metres) grading 0.3% copper and 1.14 grams silver per tonne from the Prada breccia at 168.9 metres depth. The hole included a higher-grade interval of 22.5 metres (13 metres true width) at 0.5% copper and 1.4 grams silver.
The same hole intersected 109.4 metres (63 metres true width) at 0.4% copper, 0.007% molybdenum and 1.24 grams silver from the Boomerang breccia. This included 40.1 metres (23 metres true width) grading 0.8% copper, 0.02% molybdenum and 2.3 grams silver from 459.1 metres depth.
“This result not only confirms mineralization at depth but also showcases continuity within known breccias,” Cartier said.
The $2.7 billion capex project contains 4.2 billion lb. copper, 74.6 million lb. of molybdenum and 15.5 million oz. of silver, according to a measured and indicated resource in a 2023 preliminary economic assessment…
