The Huiniccasa project is a recently discovered, large polymetallic skarn-porphyry system located 350 kilometres southeast of Lima. Pembrook has completed preliminary mapping, sampling and ground magnetics, the results of which indicate the presence of a large magnetite skarn (>1,000 by 500 metres) with associated copper-silver-zinc-molybdenum and iron mineralization with large deposit potential. The skarn mineralization is developed within calcareous rocks in contact with a granitic intrusive body and is characterized by a garnet and magnetite assemblage in a series of stacked mantos and pods ranging in thickness from a few metres to 120 metres and can be traced for up to 1,000 metres.
The results from a ground magnetic survey suggest that the mineralized skarn horizon continues over a strike length in excess of 2 kilometres under colluvial cover and flanking a prime porphyry target located immediately to the east. A second magnetic skarn target has been identified several kilometres to the north, further enhancing the potential of the project. The Huiniccasa skarn porphyry target has the potential for discovery of a major polymetallic (Cu-Ag-Zn-Mo-Fe) deposit. In 2011 the Company plans on obtaining its phase-2 drill permit which will allow the construction of an additional 1 kilometre of new road to access the porphyry target and the south skarn targets for drilling in the fourth quarter.
