Algo Grande Copper reports assay results from Cerro Grande Skarn drill program

Algo Grande Copper Corp. has reported assay results from the first phase of its drilling program at the Cerro Grande Skarn target in Sonora, Mexico. The four-hole, 1,998-meter program confirmed the continuity and expansion potential of high-grade skarn mineralization.

The results indicate that mineralization extends beyond previously known limits, suggesting significant expansion potential at depth and over a wider footprint. While one hole, AG_GC_001, did not yield significant results, holes AG_GC_002, AG_GC_003, and AG_GC_004 revealed multiple skarn mineralization zones, confirming the system's continuity both laterally and vertically.

Notably, hole AG_GC_003 returned the program's best intercept: 18.2 meters grading 1.8% copper equivalent (CuEq), including 3.5 meters of 3.9% CuEq. This confirms the presence of a high-grade skarn system. The program identified five skarn horizons, three of which were newly discovered. Additionally, drilling identified increased molybdenum values in associated intrusive intervals, indicating a metal zonation pattern typical of a porphyry-skarn system.

Algo Grande Copper CEO Enrico Gay stated that the results validate the company's thesis on Cerro Grande's potential as a large, high-grade skarn system. The company is now advancing towards Phase II drilling, aimed at expanding Cerro Grande's strike extent and testing additional skarn targets across the broader 6-kilometer corridor. The objective also includes advancing towards a potential porphyry source at depth.
