LA HUECA PROJECT - news must be imminent.
13th August 2020 drilling was at 91 metres.
Drilling operations underway at La Hueca Project utilising one man-portable drill rig. Initial drill hole LHD-20-001 at current depth of 91m. This hole is designed to test depth extent of outcropping porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum mineralisation at Santos-Lindero Zone, La Hueca Target 6.
The highest priority ‘’Target 6’’ is defined by a 2km by 1km north-northeast trending dioritic intrusive complex with coincident Cu and Cu/Zn soil geochemistry, with a distinct central high priority drill target area at Santos-Lindero where outcropping porphyry style B-type quartz veins occur within the “Kfs Diorite”, which lies coincident with Cu, Mo, Cu/Zn, and Mo/Mn soil geochemical anomalies occurring at confluence of primary north-northeast and secondary east-west regional structures.
At Santos-Lindero the Kfs Diorite hosts B-type quartz – chalcopyrite ± bornite veins associated with secondary biotite hydrothermal alteration and zones of >1% Cpy/Py ratio, within a halo zone (500m x 400m) of Sericite-Epidote-Chlorite hydrothermal alteration. This geological setting is consistent with that of a preserved and mineralised porphyry Cu-Au-Mo system at depth. Integration of existing datasets with the 3D geochemical modelling performed by Fathom GeophysicsTM further supports this, having determined the potential for mineralisation to extend to approximately 500m below surface.
