Culpeo Minerals Limited (Culpeo) (ASX:CPO, OTCQB:CPORF) has announced the successful completion of the Phase 1 Trenching Program at the El Quillay South Prospect, part of its Fortuna Project in Chile. The results include notable thick copper and gold assay results, with 46m at 0.90% copper equivalent (CuEq) among the significant findings. The company continues to focus on defining drill targets and extending mineralisation at El Quillay South, which remains open to the south. Additionally, preparations for upcoming drilling at the Vista Montana Prospect are underway.
These results continue to demonstrate the exceptional potential of the Fortuna Project. The significant correlation of the trench results with previously exploited mineralisation along the 3 km El Quillay structure underscores the extensive strike extent of this well mineralised system. The ongoing trenching at El Quillay South aims to rapidly define drill targets and extend mineralisation, particularly to the south. Culpeo Minerals remains committed to advancing its exploration activities across key projects, including ongoing trenching at El Quillay South in a Phase 2 program, a litho-geochemistry survey at La Florida, site clearance for the Vista Montana Prospect, and reconnaissance exploration of high-priority areas within the Fortuna Project.
Culpeo Minerals' announcement of thick copper and gold assay results from the Phase 1 Trenching Program at the El Quillay South Prospect in Chile reflects the company's commitment to copper exploration and development. The successful results highlight the significant strike extent of the mineralised system and the ongoing efforts to define drill targets and extend mineralisation. With preparations for upcoming drilling at the Vista Montana Prospect and continued exploration activities across key projects, Culpeo Minerals aims to increase shareholder value through the exploration, acquisition, and development of high-grade, near-surface copper systems. The company's strategic investments in Chile, a leading global copper producer, position it well to capitalize on the region's infrastructure and facilitate economic mining activities.
