The Vancouver-based company's breakthrough drilling campaign has revealed exceptional high-grade copper intersections that represent a rare geological occurrence in Chile.The standout result from hole SMRD-13 delivered 6 meters of 12.0% copper from 594 meters downhole within a broader 26 meters of 4.1% copper, with mineralization consisting primarily of bornite and chalcopyrite hosted in sedimentary units. President and CEO Hayden Locke emphasized the pure copper nature of the discovery, noting \"that's all copper. There's no byproducts. There's no gold. There's no silver included in that.\"What makes this discovery particularly significant is its geological classification as a sediment-hosted manto system, which is exceptionally rare in Chile. VP Exploration Sergio Rivera, with four decades of Chilean copper exploration experience, compared the deposit to world-class systems: \"Sergio says he's never seen a deposit like this other than in very small areas in Chile. So his view is that it's much more analogous to the Kupfershiefer in Poland and Germany and then the African sedimentary copper basin.\"The drilling campaign has successfully defined high-grade mineralization across a 600-meter east-west by 1,000-meter north-south area, with further drilling indicating potential extensions to 1.4 kilometers by 1.2 kilometers. The company achieved a remarkable hit rate, with five out of seven drill holes intersecting high-grade mineralized zones across broad step-out spacing.Despite this exceptional discovery,...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/1wv-MFlQAgnm-ca64e5kK4984dZB0os8-HJdRVsI74M/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzEzNTcyLzE2MjM5/NTQyMDctYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
