Episode notes
Surface Grades Signal Large Depth Potential
- Coppernico found continuous high-grade copper at surface, including 155 m averaging ~0.5% copper and sections up to ~3% over tens of meters.
- Ivan Bebek says surface mineralization sitting beside an intrusion signals strong depth potential for a large system.
Sombrero Mirrors A Prolific Copper Trend
- Sombrero sits on the Andahuaylas-Yauri trend near known large mines and shows widespread skarn/porphyry copper mineralization.
- Bebek links erosional windows through volcanic cover to exposed copper and the potential scale comparable to regional mines.
Do Detailed Surveys Before Drilling
- Pause costly drilling to do thorough surveys and mapping before committing to widespread drilling.
- Coppernico completed geophysics and surface studies to target drill sweet spots and will resume drilling soon.
