The company anticipates of up to 1,000-metre NQ core size diamond drill program of 5 holes that will test at least 4 mineralized zones. Diamond drilling has been contracted to Geo-Operanciones Ltda, of Copaipo, Chile.
Targets were generated from previously conducted exploration programs, which included geological mapping, rock sampling, and a geophysical survey.
The Carmelita property has long history of artisan mining. Previous exploration completed resulted in Copper grades of up to 4.8%, Gold grades of up to 2.16g/t and Silver grades of up to 85.9g/t, grades greater than 10,000 ppm of Lead and Zinc were also assayed during the 2007 exploration program.
There is a potential for widespread porphyry or IOCG (Iron Oxide Copper Gold) style mineralization as well as a smaller, higher grade structurally controlled shear zone hosted copper oxide mineralization.
The project will be supervised by Stephen Kenwood P.Geo, a qualified person under National Policy 43-101.
