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.
