Marketwired
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA ("Global Hunter" or the "Company")
is pleased to announce final results from its recent drill program
totaling nearly 9,600 metres on Las Posadas shear zone at La Corona
de Cobre project, Chile. The purpose of the program was to in-fill
drill and further delineate the known copper oxide deposit;
determine the boundaries of the oxide deposit in three dimensions;
explore for possible extensions; provide sufficient core material
for final copper oxide metallurgical testing; and assess the
peripheral and deeper copper sulfide potential of the deposit below
the current National Instrument ("NI") 43-101 qualified copper
oxide resource and the oxide resource pit outline.
Highlights of the assay results include the following (complete
results can be found in Appendix A attached hereto):
- Hole LP- 82 encountered 10 metres of 2.14 percent copper;
- Hole LP- 85 encountered 52 metres of 1.75 percent copper,
- including 18 metres of 2.96 percent copper;
- Hole LP- 86 encountered 64 metres of 0.71 percent copper;
- Including 6 metres of 2.23 percent copper.
"We are very pleased with the positive results from our drill
program on Las Posadas, and now have the entire existing resource
drilled on 50 metre centres," stated Mr. Rod Husband President
& CEO of Global Hunter. "We plan to drill some of the
additional oxide targets in the coming months to increase the total
amount of copper oxide mineralization on the project and continue
to aggressively pursue engineering studies on Las Posadas."
The Company's technical team is currently compiling new maps and
cross-sections of Las Posadas deposit and these will be posted on
the Global Hunter website, www.globalhunter.ca, as they become
available. The Company also expects additional assay results to
become available shortly and release the data upon receiving
it.
A summary of the sampling handling, QA/QC program, sample
preparation and analytical methods are described in the Company's
previous news release pertaining to drill results.
