INFINITUM COPPER CORP. Infinitum Copper Corp. announced the commencement of diamond drilling at La Adelita project in Sonora and Sinaloa states in Mexico. The Infinitum Board of Directors has approved a two-phase, 9,000 metre diamond drilling campaign.
La Adelita Highlights: High-grade, copper-silver-gold project in Mexico; Three new discoveries of high-grade mineralization were made in the early part of the current program; Geophysical survey is underway; 9,000 metre diamond drilling program has started; Less than 7,300 metres of historical drilling; Adjacent to the closed Alamo Dorado Mine. The Company recently announced the discovery of three new zones of high-grade copper-silver-gold mineralization at La Adelita. The Cerro Grande Footwall, Pericos and Las Trancas discoveries all show indications of size potential and have returned high copper grades with variable silver, gold and zinc. Follow-up work including geophysics, trenching and drilling is planned at all three new discoveries investigating size and grade of the new showings.
Geophysics and trenching are both underway and assay results from the ongoing trenching program in the Las Trancas zone are still pending. Infinitum also announced last week that the field crews initiated a magneto-telluric geophysical survey. Survey conditions are particularly favorable at this time for the geophysical survey and it is hoped that the results will assist in targeting step-out drilling in the Cerro Grande - Pericos zones and the surrounding area.
Diamond Drilling Program: Phase 1 will consist of 3,000 metres of diamond drilling. These drill holes are targeting areas within and adjacent to the existing mineralized zones, plus some drilling on newly discovered zones such as Cerro Grande Footwall, Pericos and Las Trancas South. The 6,000 metre Phase 2 drilling program targets will be: Follow-up on targets suggested in Phase 1; Mineralization identified in the ongoing trenching program (results pending); Prospective anomalies generated in the magneto-telluric geophysical survey; Extensions of known zones.
