Asperin Hill: Porphyry Copper-Gold Prospect
A 45-meter drill hole was completed on the Asparin Hill target, approximately 700 meters west of the Valderama Zone, to test an area of gossanous quartz-alunite boulders, also site of the strongest geochemical anomalies on the project, a coincident circular topographic depression some 300 meters in diameter, and a broad magnetic anomaly. This intersected dacitic rocks with intense porphyry-related alteration, including biotite alteration, plus disseminated and veinlet chalcopyrite mineralization. Both are characteristic of porphyry copper systems. Future work at Pan de Azucar will focus on the Asparin Hill porphyry copper-gold target and a partner will be sought to fund this work.
