Lunahuasi Geology Presentation summary
14 Sep, 2025Exploration highlights
Phase 3 drilling at Lunahuasi has delivered some of the world's highest copper-gold grades, with multiple holes intersecting significant mineralization, including bonanza gold and silver values over substantial widths.
High-grade intersections are present in all directions, with no zonation observed, indicating a rare combination of large size and high grades.
Notable results include 86.6m at 4.39% CuEq, 205.35m at 5.08% CuEq, and intervals with over 30% CuEq, as well as gold values up to 47.2 g/t and silver up to 1,450 g/t.
The deposit remains open in all directions, with most holes ending in mineralization, suggesting significant upside potential.
The geological model suggests current drilling may only cover a small part of the overall system.
Project and regional context
Lunahuasi is part of the Vicuña district, located near major mines and deposits such as Los Helados, Filo del Sol, and Josemaria, with established infrastructure in the region.
The Los Helados deposit, nearby, contains 510 Mt at 0.72% CuEq (Indicated) and 8.3 Blbs Cu (Inferred), highlighting the district's large-scale potential.
The regional geology features multiple mineralization styles, including high, intermediate, and low sulphidation systems.
The current mineralized volume at Lunahuasi is at least 900m x 400m x 960m, with high sulphidation vein systems and porphyry targets identified.
Technical approach and innovation
The Phase 3 drill program was expanded from 20,000m to 25,000m, testing long, mid, and short-range targets, with directional drilling and real-time data acquisition.
Advanced geological core scanning, mineral mapping, and XRF analysis are integrated into the workflow, enhancing data quality and interpretation.
A state-of-the-art data management system enables near real-time monitoring and integration of drill and geological data.
Copper equivalent calculations are based on $3.00/lb Cu, $1,500/oz Au, $18/oz Ag, and 80% metallurgical recoveries.
