Aurora Project Confirms Copper Mineralization In Eastern Sector
CRANBROOK, BC - DLP Resources Inc. reported on drillhole A24-016 on the Aurora porphyry copper-molybdenum-silver project in southern Peru. Results for the first fifteen drillholes, were released over the last few months. Drillhole A24-016 was drilled off the same drill platform as A24-015 towards the northwest and intersected copper-molybdenum and silver mineralization throughout the hole to a depth of 1080.15m. The top of the hole from 0m to 89.00m intersected 0.48% CuEq in mineralized hornfels and the lower 216.15m (864m to 1080.15m) intersected 0.82% CuEq in mineralized hornfels and early quartz-eye-feldspar-biotite porphyry.
A24-016 ended in molybdenum mineralization and the most significant mineralized intervals included: 1) 0.32% CuEq* over 1080.15m (0.15% Cu, 0.0318% Mo and 1.41g/t Ag) from 0.00m to 1080.15m. 2) 0.48% CuEq over 89.00m (0.31% Cu, 0.0003% Mo and 20.03g/t Ag) from 0.00m to 89.00m. 3) 0.24% CuEq over 535.00m (0.18% Cu, 0.0082% Mo and 1.75g/t Ag) from 329.00m to 864.00m. 4) 0.82% CuEq over 216.15m (0.09% Cu, 0.1397% Mo and 0.62g/t Ag) from 864.00m to 1080.15m.
Ian Gendall, President and CEO, said, "A24-016 confirmed shallow copper mineralization in the eastern sector and we continue to expand the footprint of copper-molybdenum and silver mineralization at Aurora. Two drill rigs are currently drilling A24-017 and A24-018 in the northeast and southwest zones and we expect to extend copper-molybdenum mineralization in these areas. Results for A24-017 and A24-018 will be available for release in late September and early October."
