Algo Grande Copper Corp. initiated the second phase of its drill program at the 100%-owned Adelita Project in Sonora, Mexico, in June 2026. The company is targeting the expansion of the Cerro Grande copper, silver, and gold skarn discovery.
Drilling commenced on June 9, 2026, at the Cerro Grande target by Major Drilling Group International. The initial hole, planned to a depth of 500 metres, aims to extend the discovery approximately 100 metres north of the Phase I drill footprint.
The 8,000-metre program focuses on expanding the Cerro Grande discovery along a 2.5-kilometre corridor defined by magnetic surveys and geochemical studies. It also includes maiden drill programs at the Cerro Potrero South skarn and Las Trancas epithermal targets.
The Adelita Project is situated within the prolific Arizona-Sonora copper belt, covering 5,895 hectares. The company suggests a potential porphyry system at depth, indicating a classic skarn-porphyry mineralization model.
