Algo Grande Copper Finds New Copper Mineralization in Mexico
Algo Grande Copper has identified new copper and gold mineralization located 3km south of Cerro Grande at its Adelita Project in Mexico. Additional targets across the property also show copper presence.
Algo Grande Copper Corp. has reported new findings of copper and gold mineralization at its 100%-owned Adelita Project in Sonora, Mexico. The company has identified a new skarn zone at the Potrero South target, approximately 3 kilometers south of the previously known Cerro Grande discovery.
Prospecting at Potrero South revealed mineralization exposed over 300 meters at surface, with rock samples assaying above 3% copper. The company also confirmed copper mineralization across multiple target areas, including Potrero South, Las Trancas, Cerro Grande Northwest, La Molina, and Mezquital.
Additionally, the company is awaiting assay results from its Phase I drill program, which aimed to expand and better define mineralization within the Cerro Grande skarn system. Preliminary results from hole AG_GC_002 had previously confirmed the discovery of three previously unknown high-grade skarn horizons, with mineralization extending to a depth of 390 meters.
In total, five high-grade skarn horizons now define the Cerro Grande mineralized system. According to the company, the Adelita Project demonstrates a district-scale skarn system with multiple centers of mineralization, dominated by copper but with potential for gold and silver by-products.
Enrico Gay, CEO of Algo Grande, stated that all data from the Adelita project points to a rich geological system with multiple types of mineralization, and that the new, undrilled skarn zone represents a new high-grade copper-gold-silver opportunity.
