The Canadian Minera Abrasilver confirmed the discovery of copper In its project La Coipita, in the province of San Juan (west) in Argentina, where it has been associated with the Canadian company Teck Resources.
While the neighboring country has several red metal reserves, which stressed the company of this finding was the quality of the element.
Abrasilver reported in a statement that the results of the drilling tests “have confirmed a important interception of high law copper mineralization, which represents a new discovery that includes a well -developed secondary enrichment zone, within a large -scale porphy system ”.
Coipita is a project of 70,000 hectares of Copper, Gold and Molybdenum In Calingasta (San Juan), next to the border with Chile.
In January 2024, Abrasilver and Teck established a joint society to explore the Coipita.
By virtue of that agreement, the Coipita drilling program is funded and operated entirely by a subsidiary of Teck Resources.
“These results confirm the presence of A well developed porphyed system with great potential. With piercing and operated perforation entirely by Teck, we believe that This discovery represents a great advance to release the value of this little explored district, located in an important cupriferous strip ”said John Miniotis, president and executive director of Abrasilver.
The altitude of the property ranges between 3,500 and 4,500 meters above sea level.
The project is within the so -called Miocene belt of Argentina and Chile, which houses numerous important deposits, such as Sun of the Sun, Los Azules, El Indio, Veladero, Easter Lama and El Pachón.
