Indico Announces Phase 3 Drill Programme is Underway at the Ocana Copper Porphyry Project
January 27 2014 - 7:00AM
Marketwired Canada
Indico Resources Ltd. ("Indico" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:IDI) is currently
drilling the Phase 3 programme at Ocana, with seven holes completed to date,
totalling 620 metres. Visual mineralization in the holes drilled to date
supports the geological interpretation from previous drilling in late 2012.
Samples for these holes are currently at ACME laboratories preparation facility
in Lima, Peru. Geotec S.A., Peru mobilized the drill equipment to site in
mid-December, 2013.
The Ocana Property consists of 22 concessions covering 110.24 km2 and is located
on the northwest extension of the Southern Peru Porphyry Copper Belt, a trend
defined in part by the Toquepala, Quellaveco, Cuajone, and Cerro Verde Mines to
the southeast. Most recent exploration of the belt has resulted in discovery of
the Zafranal copper-porphyry deposit, located approximately 75 km to the
southeast of the Ocana Property.
This programme targets supergene mineralization and is primarily an infill
programme to tighten the current 200m drill spacing to 100m. A Hydracore 4000
man-portable drill rig is being used and should be able to complete the
programme by the end of March, 2014. Currently 32 holes are planned, totalling
3050 metres, and comprising mostly short, vertical holes to infill and further
delimit near-surface, flat-lying supergene mineralization. Soluble copper and
acid consumption tests indicate the supergene mineralization should be amenable
to low-cost, SX/EW heap-leach processing. Figure 1 shows the layout/density of
the planned holes and Figure 2 illustrates highlights from the Phase 2 drilling
in 2012. Additional maps and cross sections are available at our website
(http://www.indicoresources.com/s/Ocana.asp).
To close the programme, four additional longer holes (400 metres each) are
planned to test the eastern limits of the larger hypogene mineralization,
bringing the total to 4650 metres.
