Southern Hemisphere Mining's drilling program at Llahuin project

Southern Hemisphere Mining Limited (ASX:SUH) has contracted R Munoz Drilling to commence a drilling program at its flagship Llahuin Copper-Gold-Moly Project in Chile. The program, set to begin in early October, aims to increase the current 680kt CuEq resource ahead of a JORC resource update in H2 2025.

Executive commentary on drilling program

The drilling program is designed to delineate the deeper core of the large Cerro-Ferro porphyry deposits to increase tonnes at higher grades and establish economic parameters for mining studies. We are also advancing the Curiosity Copper-Gold Porphyry target with a possible deep diamond hole once target depth refinement studies are completed. Regular updates will be provided during the drilling, with first results expected in mid-November.
