Herencia Resources plc announced that the initial Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling at the Pastizal copper project in central Chile, reported copper assays from the 25 holes drilled of up to 4.13% including other high grade near surface copper (Cu) mineralisation. In particular: The initial RC drilling of 25 holes for 2,400 metres demonstrated that the copper mineralised zones within the limestone and chert were near surface when compared with the copper zones identified at the adjacent Picachos lease; and The copper mineralisation intercepts suggest further expansion of the zones are possible at depth and along strike. Significant copper assay results include: PZ17051- 4 m at 1.47% Cu from 31 m downhole; PZ17057 - 4 m at 2.72% Cu from 52 m, and 3 m at 4.13% Cu from 59 m; PZ17063 - 4 m at 2.21% Cu from 16 m, 5 m at 1.69% Cu from 32 m, and 2 m at 3.03% Cu from 60 m; PZ17064 - 3 m at 1.94% Cu from 19 m; PZ17065 - 3 m at 1.39% Cu from 15 m; and PZ17066 - 3 m at 1.44% Cu from 32 m. Highlights: Copper-silver mineralisation located beneath thin cover (some 20 metres) at Pastizal has been significantly extended to the north of the Montenegro mine by recent shallow RC drilling. The extended footprint of the Pastizal mineralisation is around 1.4 kilometres long along a South East-North West fault system from the Montenegro Mine, through Pastizal, to the Pastizal North targets. To date three (3) additional sub-parallel mineralised faults have been identified at Pastizal Norte. Highest values include up to 4.13% Cu and 49.03g/t Ag (59-62m in hole PZ17057); up to 2.21% Cu and 4.20g/t Ag (16-20m in hole PZ17063), and, 3.03% Cu and 34.30g/t Ag (60-62 m in hole PZ17063) identified near surface at Pastizal Norte and Pastizal. Several copper mineralisation intercepts were at shallow levels highlights the excellent potential for open pit mining to take place in Pastizal. Copper-silver mineralisation remains open to the east, where the extension and continuity of South East-North West faults from Picachos to the south need to be tested, In addition, the copper-silver mineralisation is also open to the north, where 200 metres of unexplored South East-South West faults would increase any economic potential at Pastizal.
