Llahuin Copper Gold Moly Project

 The Llahuin Copper Gold Moly Project is an advanced Copper-Gold-Moly deposit of currently 680,000t CuEq in the expansion phase.

⚒️ Latest ASX Release from Llahuin

The program aims to add to the endowment of Llahuin from the current 680kt CuEq resource ahead of a JORC resource update in H2 2025.

The drilling program is designed to delineate the deeper core of the large Cerro-Ferro porphyry deposits (+2km strike) to increase tonnes at higher grades to add to the copper endowment towards establishing economic parameters for mining studies.

One key target hole is an extension of DDLLA004 which was drilled in 2013 to 644m, and lines up to the target zone north of Cerro for a lower cost extension to ~1,200m depth.

⚒️ Llahuin’s deposits are located close to the city of Illapel, in the Coquimbo Region, 250 kms north of Santiago in Chile, at an elevation of 1,300m, and 8km East of the large El Espino Copper-Gold mine development operated by Santiago listed copper producer Pucobre.

⚒️ In April 2024, the Company released encouraging results of recent 3D Geochemical Footprint Modelling and 3D Drone Magnetic inversion modelling at Llahuin. With an update in July 2024, of resource upgrade work having commenced at Llahuin with a progress report on the large Copper targets.

⚒️ The drilling program carried out in late 2023 saw first round results (incl. 156m at 0.51% CuEq) in January 2024 and all remaining results (incl. 76m at 0.44% CuEq) from February 2024.

The Company owns 100% of concessions covering approximately 14km².

For the latest on the Llahuin Project please see the news feed on this page.

The Llahuin Project, and surrounding prospects within the company’s tenure, have numerous targets to substantially grow the resources.

Initially concentrating at shallow levels, and then expand to economic depths.
