Mundoro Capital begins drilling Dos Cabezas

MUNDORO COMMENCES DRILL PROGRAM ON VALE OPTIONED PROJECT IN ARIZONA

Mundoro Capital Inc. has commenced a drill program at its Vale-optioned project, Dos Cabezas, located in Cochise, Ariz. The drill program is planned for 3,000 metres to test five target areas with five drill holes. These five drill holes represent a rare opportunity in Arizona of untested porphyry copper systems.

Highlights of the targets

  • The five target areas for drill testing during this drill program are (i) two pediment-covered targets, (ii) Mescal Canyon, (iii) Mineral Park and (iv) Casey Copper Canyon. These areas have been selected out of multiple target areas ranked as prospective for covered and near-surface porphyry copper deposit systems within the Dos Cabezas project. The two pediment targets are testing identified geophysical anomalies 100 per cent undercover by postmineral alluvium.
  • The Mescal and Mineral Park targets are within zoned hydrothermal alteration with quartz-sericite-pyrite veining that has been mapped for approximately 700 metres along the surface, with copper oxide occurrences, local magnetite skarns and correlative magnetic anomalies.
  • The Casey Copper Canyon target is along a strong regional magnetic anomaly trending northwest to west-northwest. The Casey Copper Canyon target is interpreted as an intrusive-related, magnetite-bearing skarn.

Regional setting

The Dos Cabezas project is located in southeast Arizona, United States, approximately 150 kilometres east of Tucson. Dos Cabezas covers 58 square km (5,800 hectares) within the Dos Cabezas mountains and covers part of the Laramide porphyry copper belt. The majority of production in Arizona is related to the Laramide porphyry copper belt, which hosts world-class deposits such as Morenci, Safford, Miami-Inspiration, Sierrita, Silver Bell, Resolution and others. Arizona was responsible for 66 per cent of U.S. production of copper in 2018.

The Dos Cabezas project is near the historic Teviston, Silver Camp and Mascot mining districts. Immediately to the northwest of Mundoro's land package is the Spike E Hill porphyry system. With the exception of the Spike E Hills near Willcox, historic mining and exploration focused on gold/silver/base metal veins and substantial amounts of high-grade copper ore shipped directly to smelters.

The Dos Cabezas mountains contain Laramide volcanic centres which generated intrusives, breccias and expression of volcanoclastics, ranging from andesitic to rhyolitic in composition. These volcanics have been deposited on Cretaceous-aged sedimentary units consisting of siltstone, sandstone, conglomerates and carbonates. The sedimentary package is unconformably deposited on Proterozoic granitic and metamorphic rocks. Laramide dikes, intrusive bodies and breccias crosscut the above units, giving rise to areas of alteration and potential metal deposition.

Discussion of target areas

Pediment targets -- Two drill targets have been identified under shallow alluvial cover southwest of the Dos Cabezas mountain range. Both target areas are located along the inferred covered path of a major west-northwest-striking structural zone known as the Apache Pass fault zone. This structure is locally mineralized where exposed on the surface. Two magnetic anomalies have been identified from a project-wide aeromagnetic survey conducted in May, 2022. The magnetic anomalies are located under shallow pediment cover.

Mescal Canyon -- This target is an area of approximately 700-by-600-metre outcropping quartz-sericite-pyrite veining identified during the 2022 mapping program. Additionally, copper occurrences associated with chalcopyrite-bearing veining and local magnetite skarns correlate with a copper plus molybdenum geochemical anomaly identified from 2022 chip sampling program. This target correlates with a broad magnetic anomaly identified from the project-wide aeromagnetic survey conducted in May, 2022. No evidence of any historic drill testing has been located within the target area.

Mineral Park -- Several outcropping magnetite skarns ringing a central monzonitic intrusive were identified during the 2022 field mapping program. Chip sampling has identified anomalous copper and gold values associated with this target area. The Mundoro conducted aeromagnetic survey shows magnetic anomalies associated with outcropping skarns. No evidence of any historic drill testing has been located within the target area.

Casey Copper Canyon -- This target area is on the edge of the Mescal Canyon target. A large west-northwest magnetic anomaly has been identified from the project-wide aeromagnetic survey. The 2022 field mapping has identified outcropping magnetite skarns and west-northwest mineralized structures that correlate with this anomaly. The aeromagnetic survey and forward modelling show this anomaly continuing at depth along mapped structures. No evidence of any historic drill testing has been located within the target area.
