Overview

Los Andes Copper Ltd. is a Canadian exploration and development company focused on the exploration and development of the advanced stage Vizcachitas porphyry copper –molybdenum deposit in Central Chile.

summerThe deposit occurs in the same belt as several giant copper-molybdenum porphyry deposits including Río Blanco-Los Bronces (50 million tonnes contained copper), Los Pelambres (25 million tonnes contained copper) and El Teniente (75 million tonnes contained copper).

The Vizcachitas Property covers a porphyry copper-molybdenum system with alteration delineated over 3.0 km in a north-south direction and 1.5 km in an east-west direction. Within this altered zone is an area of strongly-leached capping, copper oxide and sulfide and molybdenum mineralization covering an area measuring approximately 1.5 km in a north-south direction and over 700 m in an east-west direction.

summerThe property contains a NI43-101 compliant indicated resource of 515M tonnes grading 0.39% Cu and 0.011% Mo (0.46%CuEq), and an inferred sulphide resource of 572M tonnes grading 0.34% Cu and 0.012% Mo at a 0.3% CuEq. cut-off. The resource was calculated based on historic and recent diamond drilling totaling 35,255m in 130 drill holes. Drilling is ongoing to fully delineate the deposit.

In addition to the drilling program, Los Andes has submitted samples to SGS Lakefield in Santiago for metallurgical testing. The results of these tests, in addition to the resource estimate will be used in a scoping study/preliminary economic analysis on the Vizcachitas deposit currently being carried out by AMEC International (Chile) SA.
