Indico Resources Ltd.: Update on Drilling Campaign at Ocana Porphyry Cu-Mo-Au Project
November 02 2012 - 7:00AM
Marketwired Canada
Indico Resources Ltd. ("Indico" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:IDI)(OTCQX:IDIFF)
is pleased to provide an update on the Phase 2 drilling campaign at the Ocana
Cu-Au-Mo porphyry in Southern Peru. The Phase 2 programme is testing the maximum
thickness and grade of sulphide and oxide supergene mineralization intersected
by two holes in Phase 1, delineating higher-grade hypogene zones that occur
mainly within the breccia target at the centre of the system, and delimiting the
southern and eastern edges of both hypogene and supergene mineralization.
To date, 2017 metres of the planned 4400 metre minimum have been completed in 6
holes from 5 platforms spaced roughly 200 metres apart (Figure 1). Drilling is
on schedule to be completed by early December. All holes reached their target
depth or were continued deeper due to encouraging mineralization. For logistical
reasons, several holes targeting hypogene mineralization have been drilled ahead
of the peripheral holes that mainly target supergene oxide mineralization.
However, based on intersections in three of the holes (OCADH004, 5 & 6), the
supergene oxide target limit has been expanded into the centre of the system.
All assay results are pending.
