Algo Grande Copper reports Phase I drill results from Cerro Grande skarn

Algo Grande Copper Corp. announced results from its inaugural Phase I drill program at the Cerro Grande Skarn target in Sonora, Mexico. The program comprised four drill holes totaling 1,998 meters, designed to confirm high-grade skarn mineralization at depth.

The Phase I drilling confirmed mineralization extending beyond earlier drilling limits, suggesting potential for expansion both at depth and within a broader footprint. The company stated that the results confirm an outcropping, vertically extensive copper-silver-gold skarn system, with increasing evidence supporting a genetically related porphyry system deeper down.

Key intercepts included hole AG_GC_003, which returned 18.2 meters grading 1.8% copper equivalent (CuEq), including 3.5 meters grading 3.9% CuEq. The program identified a total of five skarn horizons, with three being newly discovered. Increased molybdenum values suggest a metal zonation pattern consistent with a porphyry-skarn system.

Enrico Gay, CEO of Algo Grande Copper, commented that the results validate the company's thesis that Cerro Grande Skarn has the potential to scale into a large, high-grade skarn system. The company is advancing towards Phase II drilling to expand the Cerro Grande footprint and test additional skarn targets along a corridor.

The drilling was conducted using diamond core drilling techniques, with core recovery exceeding 95% across all holes. The system remains open along strike and at depth, presenting opportunities for further expansion and discovery.
