Lana Corina & Fortuna Project, Chile
Culpeo Minerals (ASX: CPO) has announced significant copper and gold assay results from surface trenching at the El Quillay South Prospect within its Fortuna Project in Chile. Results from the Phase 1 Trenching Program include notable intercepts such as 46m at 0.90% copper equivalent (CuEq) and 6m at 3.21% CuEq, confirming the presence of wide, high-grade copper mineralisation....
Project Summary
The Lana Corina Project is situated in the Coquimbo region of Chile, where near surface breccia hosted high-grade copper mineralisation offers walk up drilling targets and early resource definition potential. Lana Corina is a high-grade copper project, hosting multiple outcropping copper bearing breccia pipes associated with a well-mineralised porphyry intrusive. Drilling programs are targeting near surface copper mineralisation and extensions to the south.
Lana Corina is associated within a northeast-southwest orientated structural zone with >1,000m of strike and up to 400m wide. High grade copper mineralisation at Lana Corina is associated with three known copper bearing breccia pipes occurring in the upper levels of a large copper bearing porphyry system.
The high-grade breccia pipes identified to date outcrop at surface and extend to a vertical depth of over 200m at which point porphyry hosted, stockwork and sheeted vein style mineralisation extends deeper.
