Halcones Precious Metals Intersects 3.91% Cu and 0.21 g/t Au Over 8 Metres at Carachapampa Project, Chile
13 11월 2023 - 10:19PM
Halcones Precious Metals Corp. (TSX – V: HPM) (the
“Company” or “Halcones”) is pleased to provide results from the
first hole of the ongoing exploration program at the Carachapampa
project (“Carachapampa or the “Project”). Carachapampa is located
in the prolific Maricunga belt approximately 180 km northeast of
the city of Copiapó with year-round road access. In the immediate
vicinity of Carachapampa are several large-scale operating mines
including La Coipa (Kinross) and Salares Norte (Gold Fields) hosted
in similar geology to Carachapampa.
Drilling Highlights:
The upper section of Hole
CAR23-015 returned 3.91% Cu and 0.21 g/t Au over 8
m from 151 m downhole at the Northwest target. This
intercept is approximately 60 m from the 0.55% Cu over 2m intercept
at the end of hole CAR23-012 (Figure 1; see press release dated
April 27, 2023). The return of assay results has been slow and
approximately 50 assays are currently outstanding from the bottom
of hole CAR23-015.
According to Ian Parkinson, CEO and Director of
Halcones, “High grade copper over a significant intercept is a
great start to our ongoing drill program. This program was designed
to follow-up on the successes of our previous work and that
momentum continues. The presence of high-grade copper coupled with
strong alteration and highly anomalous pathfinder elements over
greater than 100 m of core length indicates we have the potential
to make a significant discovery at Carachapampa.”
Halcones plans to drill an initial 5 holes in
the current drill campaign targeting the Northwest and Central
targets. Following receipt of data from the ongoing drill program,
next steps will be planned accordingly. This phase of drilling
plans for each hole to be approximately 300 m in length, which is
approximately double the depth of the previous campaign (see press
release dated April 27, 2023). The improved understanding of the
geology at Carachapampa has indicated previous drilling was likely
not deep enough.
Vernon Arseneau, P.Geo., COO and Director of
Halcones states, “In addition to the high-grade copper intercept,
drill hole CAR23-015 confirmed the presence of a significant
alteration zone typical of intermediate to high sulphidation Au-Ag
mineralized systems. More specifically, the presence of significant
widths and grades of covellite are reminiscent of other deposits in
the belt such as El Indio and Guanaco. The presence of high arsenic
and native sulphur defines what the Company interprets as a steam
heated zone associated with advanced argillic alteration including
covellite and orpiment. The presence of covellite and orpiment is
generally interpreted as evidence of proximity to a high
sulphidation feeder where the grade of Cu and Au usually increases.
The intense alteration in core from CAR23-015 aligns with outcrop
and colluvial samples taken previously by Halcones at surface.”
Intense alteration is observed over a core
length of greater than 100 m in hole CAR23-015 and is also
reflected at surface. The colluvial anomaly shows direct
correlation with anomalous multi-element values in holes CAR23-012
and CAR23-015, and it can be followed for over 500 m trending to
the southeast where it is undrilled.
Anomalous values of Pb-Zn-As-Sb and Ag are all
considered pathfinder elements in high sulphidation systems, and
the company plans follow-up drill testing of this significant
target.
Next Steps:
Assay results are expected to be steadily
received over the next 4 to 6 weeks. The Halcones exploration team
plans to spend time analysing these results before planning next
steps for Carachapampa.
