Lampa (Near Drill Project)
The Lampa Gold Project is 4,800 hectares in size and located within a highly prospective structural corridor in southern Peru. Known deposits/mines in the same corridor include: Arasi (high sulphidation epithermal gold), El Cofre (low sulphidation epithermal silver), Pinaya (gold-copper porphyry), Berenguela (silver carbonate replacement) and San Judas (The geology comprises a predominantly sedimentary package of shales and slates of the Ananea Formation (Upper Silurian-Lower Devonian age) overlain by sandstones and quartzites (Jurassic age) and intruded by small stocks of diorite-tonalite and sills of quartz feldspar porphyry. On the west flank of the property, late andesite lava flows and agglomerates of the Tertiary-age cover the sedimentary package. The shales and slates of the Ananea Formation are host to important vein gold deposits in the Oriental Cordillera which are the source of the gold in the placers of the Madre de Dios.
The Company’s field teams have outlined a 4 by 2 kilometre belt of gold bearing quartz veins hosted by sandstone and quartzites. Individual veins have been mapped for lengths of over 300 metres, with thicknesses in the range of 0.60 to 1.00 metres and evidence of numerous small-scale historical workings. The veining is epithermal and comprises vuggy quartz, with abundant iron oxides (after sulphides). Forty-four rock chips samples have been analyzed from this program, with the highest gold value 6.96 grams per tonne (“g/t”). The veins are also anomalous in cobalt, arsenic and bismuth.
