Herencia Resources plc announced that further surface sampling at its advanced Picachos Copper Project in central Chile, has identified high grade copper mineralisation in a number of new areas immediately adjacent to the proposed open pit mining operations. The extensive surface sampling program using the hand held XRF analyser and undertaken by company geologists focussed on mineralisation at 40M Shaft East, Flor del Bosque, La Ñipa, Santa Rosa and the southern tenement areas, following several parallel mineralised structures and three limestone-bearing sequences. Whilst these results are indicative of the presence of mineralisation in a selection of rocks at the surface, the high grade results in the 40M Shaft East area and mapping of additional mine workings confirm the continuity, at shallow levels, of the copper grades seen in diamond drill hole DDH14003 which returned 117m at 1.14% copper from 182m and which included higher grade intervals of 18m at 1.53% copper from 184m, 9m at 2.02% copper from193m, 16m at 1.50% copper from 213m, 10m at 1.95% copper from 254m, 10m at 2.00% copper from 268m and 11m at 2.21% copper from 288m.
