Herencia Resources plc. commenced the proposed 3,000 metre Reverse Circulation (RC) drill program on 6th December 2017 at the prospective Pastizal copper lease adjacent to the Picachos tenement near Andacollo in central Chile. The drilling program consisting of 22 holes for some 2,400 metres of RC drilling tested the newly acquired Pastizal tenement abutting the Picachos lease. The program was below the planned 3,000 metres and completed earlier than expected on 29 December 2017 as the limestone and chert containing copper mineralization was closer to the surface than assumed. Following the recent geological review of the copper properties, the Company planned the drilling program to test under the current mine workings at Pastizal, Montenegro and Pastizal Norte. Previous drilling conducted in 2015 on the adjoining Picachos tenements, which hosts the same mantos mineralisation as Pastizal, intercepted mineralisation in 28 of the 29 drillholes with broad zones of medium grade copper interspersed with high grade copper intercepts within the mantos zones.
