Thick, High-Grade, Surface Enrichment Zone Extends at La Verde

Canada NewsWire

DKP063 returns 62 m grading 0.91% CuEq¹ (0.70% Cu, 0.30 g/t Au) from 20 m, within 398 m grading 0.45% CuEq from surface

Highlights

The La Verde porphyry discovery has delivered another round of high-grade, near-surface copper-gold drill results, supporting the Company's objective of integrating La Verde into the Costa Fuego copper-gold (Cu-Au) Project, located on Chile's coastal range at low elevation.

Three high-grade intersections from shallow depths headline the latest Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling at La Verde, supporting the continuity of wide mineralised zones across the deposit . Significant intersections include:

DKP063 recorded 398 m grading 0.45% CuEq (0.35% Cu, 0.12 g/t Au) from surface Including 62 m grading 0.91% CuEq (0.70% Cu, 0.30 g/t Au) from 20 m depth

Which included 12 m grading 1.00% CuEq (0.66% Cu, 0.49 g/t Au) from 20 m depth

And included 34 m grading 1.00% CuEq (0.80% Cu, 0.27 g/t Au) from 42 m depth

DKP075 recorded 132 m grading 0.57% CuEq (0.45% Cu, 0.16 g/t Au) from 24 m depth (partial) Including 42 m grading 0.70% CuEq (0.57% Cu, 0.19 g/t Au) from 96 m

Assays are still outstanding for the remaining 177 m, results expected shortly

DKP064 recorded 126 m grading 0.45% CuEq (0.38% Cu, 0.08 g/t Au) from 54 m depth Including 26 m grading 0.70% CuEq (0.60% Cu, 0.13 g/t Au) from 108 m

Assays from 22 drillholes (two Diamond Drill (DD), one DD tail and 19 RC) remain pending, providing a steady flow of results as assay turnaround time improves from two accredited laboratories.
