At Yerbas Buenas iron ore venture revealed copper and gold potential

Freehill Mining has recognized potential copper and gold mineralization in the wake of completing an induced polarization (IP) review over its leader Yerbas Buenas venture in Chile.

The district has various high quality copper and gold activities and Freehill's IP study at Yerbas Buenas focused on potential wellsprings of copper mineralization. "The finishing of the IP review is a critical advance forward in checking the nearness of what we accept is an extensive sulfide structure that may have the copper and gold mineralization ordinarily found at surface in the territory," Freehill CEO Peter Hinner said. In the wake of looking into survey information, Freehill's group recognized "tolerably solid chargeability inconsistencies" in the task's north.

As per the organization, the shallow segment of the oddity is situated close to a ravine where it is trusted the chargeable material perhaps found close surface. Moreover, high resistivities are related with both the chargeability oddity in the north-east piece of the framework and with the vast majority of the solid irregularities in the northern part. "A huge break in resistivities promptly west of the major attractive irregularities is demonstrative of a noteworthy structure or contact," the organization expressed. Mr Hinner said Freehill is as of now arranging a boring system to start in the June quarter to test the sulfide structure. "Finding this expansive IP oddity so near other copper and gold mineralization is an incredible advancement and generously improves the venture's potential for gold and copper mineralization," he included. The disclosure of copper and gold potential at Yerbas Buenas helps the ventures known prospectively, with the underlying concentration at the undertaking being high-grade iron metal mineralization. Preliminary mining at Yerbas Buenas has been in progress mid-2017, with metal sold to Compania Minera Del Pacifico, which claims a close-by pellet feed plant. A boring effort was done at Yerbas Buenas to solidify an iron metal asset at the undertaking. Tests are unavoidable however starter Davis Tube separator and XRF investigation on an example conveyed to Compania Minera Del Pacifico returned 69.43% iron. Penetrating additionally uncovered 170m of "adequately consistently high-grade material", which was struck beneath just 15m of sand spread. "Yerbas Buenas is getting down to business as a noteworthy Chilean magnetite venture with set up offtake understandings and outsider handling alternatives accessible to us just 30km from site," Mr Hinner said. "We anticipate refreshing investors with results from the ongoing drill battle and geophysics study," he included.
