(TSXV:PERU) has recently completed a significant 3,000-meter drill program at its Soledad project in Ancash, Peru, yielding promising results that could attract investor interest. The program, focused on the southern portion of the property, has resulted in two new discoveries and refined targets for future exploration.The first major discovery is the Estremadoyro breccia pipe, which hosts high-grade copper-gold-silver mineralization starting at the surface and remaining open at depth. Notably, this is the first instance of bornite mineralization found in the project's breccia pipes, potentially indicating higher-grade copper content. This discovery reinforces the ongoing potential of the breccia pipe story at Soledad.The second significant find is at the La Joya target, where drilling intercepted substantial silver mineralization within a high-sulfidation epithermal system. The best intercept returned over a kilogram of silver per tonne over a narrow interval, within a broader zone of 42 meters averaging 323 g/t silver. This discovery opens up new possibilities for a standalone precious metals opportunity within the broader Soledad project.In addition to these discoveries, the company has made progress in refining its Mega-Gold porphyry target. While not yielding immediate high-grade intercepts, the drilling program provided crucial information for vectoring towards potential porphyry targets, reducing the search space from 2.5 square kilometers to 1 square kilometer.Chakana's current focus is on expanding its existing high-grade resource from 6.7 million tons to approximately 10 million tons. The company believes that achieving this target could potentially support a mining operation, given the...","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}
