Atacama Copper Corporation (ACOP) has commenced a trenching program at its wholly-owned El Cofre Project.

A total of approximately 3,000m across 18 trenches and channel sampling lines is designed to follow up on previously identified mineralized structures discovered in geochemical and mapping surveys of the property.

The program is expected to take approximately 4 weeks to complete and the first results of sampling with initial XRF analysis are expected during May 2022 and laboratory assays in June 2022.

“This program is the first phase of a more extensive program of work on the copper-gold project,” said Gino Zandonai, CEO of Atacama Copper.

“It is designed to gather additional targeting information to compliment the historical work mapping, geochemistry and geophysical surveys that identified a number of high-priority target zones across the property to define the best drilling targets of the copper and gold mineralization,” he added.

Atacama Copper Corporation is a resource company focusing on the acquisition, exploration, and development of copper properties in Chile.

The company is committed to advancing the exploration and development of the Placeton, Caballo Muerto and El Cofre projects, while concurrently looking to increase its asset portfolio through the acquisition and development of other high-value copper exploration, development, and production opportunities in Chile.

Atacama Copper Corporation (ACOP) remained unchanged at $0.24 at 2:27 PM ET.
