Western Metallica Resources Vice Presidentof Exploration Giovanni Funaioli joined Steve Darling from Proactiveto shared updates regarding the company's exploration activitiesat the Luz Maria and Cana Brava 1 targets.
Funaioli revealed that Western MetallicaResources is currently conducting geophysical and field mappingactivities at these projects, building upon previous work thatidentified strong magnetic anomalies coincident with large alterationfootprints characteristic of Andean copper-molybdenum porphyrysystems.
The company plans tocomplete approximately 16-line kilometers of pole-dipole InducedPolarization (IP) geophysical surveys in the near term. These surveysaim to identify areas of sulphide-rich mineralization and potentialblind intrusions beneath altered Cretaceous sedimentary rocks andrecent colluvium.
Funaioliemphasized that the acquisition of geophysical data is supported by anin-house geophysicist with extensive experience in exploring forporphyry and intrusion-related systems in the Andes region. Thisgeophysicist is responsible for daily quality control of the data, aswell as processing and modeling.
Simultaneously, Western Metallica Resources is conductingsystematic portable-XRF soil data acquisition to vectorize thedistribution of copper (Cu) and molybdenum (Mo) at the surface. Thisis complemented by pole-dipole IP geophysical data acquisition toidentify sulphide-rich and/or resistivity anomalies, indicatingpotential mineralized bodies beneath sedimentary and recent colluvialcovers.
The ongoing field programsaim to extend mapping and sampling beyond the main creeks wheremineralized intrusive outcrops have been found to date. This isintended to confirm the presence of significant and continuouscopper-molybdenum porphyry mineralization with a higher level ofgeological confidence and across a broader alterationfootprint.
Western Metallica Resources believes that integratingthis large dataset will provide a comprehensive understanding of theprospects' potential, supporting the next phase of scout drillingexpected to commence by Q3-2024.
