Picha

Overview

Moquegua department, 5,900 hectares.
Tertiary volcanic and intrusive rocks.
Cu veins and conceptual Cu Manto targets.

Exploration works

  • 156 chip/rock samples (or 231 chip/rock samples, ?) and 12 soil and 13 stream samples.
  • Exploration potential large epigenetic, polymetallic (Cu(Ag-Pb-Zn) bulk tonnage deposit
  • Five zones, located in the northern part of the property were identified; Cumbre Coya, Cobremani,
  • Maricate, Fundicon and Huancune zones
  • Mineralization; NE structures, quartz-carbonate veinlets (<1 cm wide); tectonic breccia;
  • Most zones are reported less than 30 m in width.
  • Erratic Mineralization.

Results:

Cumbre Coya Zone (Cu-Ag-As-Pb-Zn)

  • North-northwest trending copper-quartz veinlets discovered within an area measuring 100X150 m.
  • Assays <1.65%Cu, 880 ppm Ag, 4.6% Pb, 0.62% Zn.
  • Cobrenani Zone (Cu-Ag-As)
  • Several old adits, open cuts, dumps, quart=copper veinlets (< 1 cm in diameter),
  • Mineralization sporadic over a strike length of 100 m.
  • Assays </=12.0% Cu, 169 g/t Ag, low Pb-Zn, no gold.

Maricate Zone (Cu-Ag-As)

  • Two Cu-Pb-Zn showings, some old Spanish underground workings, galena and chalcopyrite mineralization hosted within andesite volcanic rocks.
  • Mineralization consist of quartz-copper veins (<1 cm wide) occupying an N50degree shear zone.
  • Assays </=11%Cu, 119g/t Ag, 12% Pb and <1.0% Zn.

Fundicon Zone (Mine)

  • Six old adits driven into <0.4 m wide copper vein zone hosted in andesite volcanic flows.
  • Uranium hosted within Mesozoic sandstones.

Huancune (Cu-Ag)

  • Small open pit exposes a narrow quartz-carbonate vein hosted within unaltered andesite volcanic rocks .
  • Return up to 3.8% Cu and 12 g/t Ag.
