El Cobre
Location: Veracruz, Mexico
Mineral : Copper & Gold
The El Cobre Property covers approximately 11,860 hectares and hosts copper-gold porphyry mineralisation over a strike length of at least four kilometres.
To date, five copper-gold porphyry centres have been discovered along an approximately 4-5km trend, stretching from the Norte Zone down to Encinal in the southeast. These zones are defined by distinct Cu-Au soil anomalies, discrete, positive magnetic features, a broad IP chargeability anomaly, and drilling.
Location
El Cobre is located adjacent to the Gulf of Mexico approximately 75 km northwest of the city of Veracruz in the state of Veracruz, Mexico. Veracruz is a major port city and naval base with an international airport.
The Property can be accessed easily from Veracruz via the Veracruz-Alamo Highway (HWY 180) and the Tinajitas-Palma Road. A network of secondary and dirt roads provide access to most of the Property.
Geology: Copper-Gold Porphyry
The altered porphyritic diorite intrusive suite along with disseminated and stockwork-vein style base and precious-metal sulphide mineralization observed at the El Cobre Project, is consistent with a porphyry copper-gold-silver-molybdenum (Cu-Au+/-Ag+/-Mo) deposit model. Distinct Pb-Zn-Ag-Au soil anomalies, coincident with quartz vein float and clay and sulphate (acid-sulphate) altered volcanic rocks may represent a younger (or a higher-level) intermediate to high sulphidation epithermal mineralization episode.
