Early Mineralised Porphyry Intersections Prove Encouraging At Aurora Project
CRANBROOK - DLP Resources Inc. reported on drillhole A23-009 on the Aurora porphyry copper-molybdenum project in southern Peru. Results for the first eight drillholes, A22-001, A22-002, A22-003, A23-004, A23-005, A23-006, A23-007 and A23-008 were released previously.
Drillhole A23-009 was drilled approximately 868m SE of drillhole A23-007. A23-009 intersected significant copper mineralization throughout the hole to a depth of 709.55m where it ended in copper and molybdenum mineralization. The most significant mineralized intervals included: 0.32% CuEq* over 790.15m (0.27% Cu, 0.0095% Mo and 2.39g/t Ag) from 0.40m to 790.15m; 0.44% CuEq* over 314.00m (0.37% Cu, 0.0144% Mo and 2.86g/t Ag) from 303.00m to 617.00m; and 0.59% CuEq over 56.00m (0.52% Cu, 0.0144% Mo and 3.46g/t Ag) from 561.00m to 617.00m.
Ian Gendall, President and CEO, said, "A23-009 was drilled on a step out of 868m to the SE of A23-007. This is the first hole drilled by DLP on the SE side of the Aurora project. We are extremely encouraged with the intersection of copper mineralization in A23-009 on this SE side and we will continue to drill on this side during the next six months. A23-010 is currently in progress to a depth of 1000m. The early mineralized porphyry intersections observed in A23-010 to a current depth of 800m are very encouraging. Results are expected later this month.”
