Drilling
commenced at Pepas Prospect.
London, November 21st 2024. Orosur Mining Inc. ("Orosur" or the
"Company") (TSXV/AIM:OMI),
is pleased to announce an update on the completion of the
acquisition of Minera Monte Aguila SAS ("MMA") and the progress of
exploration activities at the Company's Anzá Project ("Project") in
Colombia.
As announced on September
10th 2024, the Company signed a definitive, binding
Share Purchase Agreement ("SPA") for the acquisition of MMA, that,
once completed, would see the Company returning to 100% ownership
of the Anzá Project, in return for deferred, production based,
consideration.
The Project comprises a number of
granted exploration licences and applications on the prolific
Mid-Cauca belt of Colombia, approximately 50km west of Medellin.
The total licence package previously under joint venture currently
totals some 175km2 in area, however the size of the Project will
increase substantially post completion with the addition of new
applications held by MMA.
As announced on October
17th 2024, following approval of the SPA by the TSX
Venture Exchange, the parties began the process of completion,
largely involving the exchange of necessary documentation, and the
lodging of a variety of notices and company accounts with
regulatory bodies in Colombia and Canada. This process is expected
to complete in the next few weeks.
In the meantime, the Company has
reassumed activities at the Project and control of the site,
including reoccupation of the main camp at APTA, where Company
staff will be based and all drill core from drilling programs will
be logged, cut and sampled prior to being submitted to a laboratory
in Medellin for analysis.
Prior to this, the Company has for
some months been preparing for resumption of field work, focussing
on a planned drill program at the Pepas prospect in the north of
the Project area. The drilling contractor mobilised to site last
week and drilling has now commenced at Pepas.
A small drill program is planned at
Pepas, with six or seven holes for a total of roughly 800m.
This program is expected to take approximately six weeks to
complete.
The objective of this program is to
better understand the orientation and litho-structural controls of
high-grade gold mineralisation intersected in three previous holes
drilled by the Company's former JV partner from the same drill pad
in 2022.
Drill hole PEP-001 was commenced in
June 2022. Assay results from PEP-001, announced on September
6th, 2022, showed high grade gold mineralisation from
surface, with the hole returning a composite intersection of 150m @
3.0g/t Au from surface.
Two additional holes were then
drilled from this same pad, with results announced on October
21st 2022, with PEP-005 returning 35.5m @ 2.12g/t Au and
PEP-007 returning 80.55m @ 3.05g/t Au. (Figure 1).
Several later holes were drilled at Pepas from
different distant pads that did not intersect substantial
mineralisation. The nature of gold mineralisation in these first
three holes therefore remained unresolved.
Figure 1. Drilling and
geological plan, Pepas Prospect
The first hole of this new drill
program will be collared near an abandoned artisanal tunnel
containing high grade gold mineralisation (tunnel A, Figure1,
results announced October 22nd 2024) and drilled toward
the North West to intersect the mineralisation identified in hole
PEP-001, but from the opposite direction. The location and azimuth
of the next holes will then be adjusted on the basis of geological
information obtained from this "scissor hole" so as to define the
nature of this mineralisation and provide guidance for later
definition drilling.
Orosur CEO Brad George commented:
"The commencement of drilling at
Pepas is the culmination of a long commercial process that sees
Orosur return to 100% ownership of the Anzá project. Previous
drilling and recent sampling show Pepas has developed into an
impressive target. We eagerly anticipate results in coming
weeks."
