Viento

Copper

Ownership:Earning 100%
Location:North Central Peru
Deposit type:Cu-Mo Porphyry

The Viento project is located north of Lima and targets a series of mineralized breccia pipes containing significant high grade molybdenum and copper mineralization with associated silver-gold values.

Surface exposed high grade copper mineralization saw limited production up to 1975. Historical drill results (vertical holes), returned intersections of 0.52% Cu, 0.25% Mo with 11.4 g/t Ag over 334 metres, 0.63% Cu, 0.40% Mo over 116 metres and 0.35% Cu, 0.35% Mo over 184 metres. Surface channel samples collected by Pembrook support the high historical grades returning 0.59% Cu and 0.20% Mo over 36 metres and 45 metres respectively.

Geological and geophysical surveys completed in 2010 supports the presence of a large porphyry target adjacent to the known breccias pipe. Drilling with multiple drills is planned for the second quarter.
