Key Technical Findings
关键技术发现
- Delineation of a continuous body of high-grade porphyry Cu-Au mineralization from surface to depths of greater than 800m at Piuquenes Central.
- High grade Cu-Au mineralization remains open to depth and to the north-east.
- Confirmation of a multi-phase porphyry system, with strongly developed A type quartz stockwork veining hosting extensive chalcopyrite and bornite mineralization carrying significant copper and gold grades.
- Abundant bornite mineralization encountered both centrally and within the outer margins of the porphyry system, highlighting significant potential for an underlying bornite rich core to the deposit.
- Low average arsenic content reported in assays.
- 在皮克内斯中心描绘了从地表到深度超过 800 米的连续高品位斑岩铜金矿化体。
- 高品位铜金矿化区仍然向深部和东北方向开放。
- 证实了多相斑岩系统，发育强劲的 A 型石英矿脉中含有大量的黄铜矿和硼砂矿化层，具有显著的铜和金品位。
- 斑岩系统的中心边缘和外缘都遇到了丰富的硼砂矿化作用，这凸显了该矿床底层富含硼砂岩的巨大潜力。
- 化验中报告的平均砷含量低。
Property Wide Upside Potential
物业广阔的上行潜力
Pampa Metals' mineral tenure extends for over 3km to the north of the Piuquenes Central porphyry Cu-Au deposit, with minimal exploration conducted over the area to date. The underlying geology is almost entirely masked at surface by thin transported cover, with no exploration drilling having been completed under this cover.
Pampa Metals的矿产使用权延伸到皮乌克内斯中央斑岩铜金矿床以北的3公里以上，迄今为止，对该地区的勘探很少。地表的底层地质几乎完全被薄薄的运输覆盖层所掩盖，在这个掩护下没有完成任何勘探钻探。
Isolated outcrops of advanced argillic alteration have been mapped up to 3.5 km northeast of the Piuquenes Central system. (Fig. 1).
已经绘制了位于皮乌克内斯中央系统东北3.5公里处的晚期泥炭蚀变的孤立露头的地图。（图 1）。
At Piuquenes East, sheeted and locally stockworked fine grey quartz-sulphide veins have been mapped at surface in an area of rare outcrop. These veins are similar in character to veins encountered in some of the gold-rich Miocene porphyries in Chile.
在 Piuquenes East，已在稀有露头区域的地表绘制了薄片和当地储存的细灰色石英硫化物矿脉图。这些矿脉的特征与智利一些富含黄金的中新世斑岩中遇到的矿脉相似。
Porphyry districts typically contain multiple mineralized centres, and the Company considers it extremely encouraging to have already delineated a highly mineralized system, with a second highly promising target also outlined within a substantially talus covered property package that has been subject to minimal exploration.
斑岩区通常包含多个矿化中心，该公司认为，已经划定了一个高度矿化系统非常令人鼓舞，而另一个非常有前途的目标也是在一个几乎没有勘探的塔卢斯覆盖的房地产项目中概述的。
Current Activities
当前活动
Following completion of its maiden drill program at Piuquenes, the Company is now focused on the integration of recent drilling data with historical information. Concurrent work programs include geological modelling, grade and lithology interpretation aided by multi-element geochemical data, and reprocessing and interpretation of historical geophysical data.
继Piuquenes的首次钻探计划完成后，该公司现在专注于将最近的钻探数据与历史信息相整合。并行工作计划包括地质建模、由多元素地球化学数据辅助的等级和岩性学解释，以及历史地球物理数据的再处理和解释。
Metallurgical testing and mining concept studies for Piuquenes Central are also being considered.
皮克内斯中央的冶金测试和采矿概念研究也在考虑之中。
Preparations are underway for the next field season, which will include further drill evaluation of the Piuquenes Central deposit, the initial drill testing of Piuquenes East, field mapping and further geophysics if required.
下一个油田季节的准备工作正在进行中，这将包括对Piuquenes Central矿床的进一步钻探评估、对Piuquenes East的初步钻探测试、实地测绘以及必要时进一步的地球物理学。
Joseph van den Elsen, Pampa Metals President and CEO commented: "We are very pleased to have reported extraordinary, long intervals of primary copper and gold mineralization from our maiden drill-program at Piuquenes Central. Our initial drilling has extended the depth and lateral extensions of mineralization at Piuquenes Central and confirmed a highly mineralized multi-phase porphyry system which remains open to depth and to the north-east. The Piuquenes project is a Company making asset and we look forward to more fully delineating the size and grade potential of this first deposit and concurrently testing a second undrilled, outcropping porphyry already identified at Piuquenes East. We see the potential for a cluster of deposits and will continue to advance several other nearby targets with surface exploration and geophysics."
Pampa Metals总裁兼首席执行官约瑟夫·范登·埃尔森评论说： “我们很高兴地报告说，我们在Piuquenes Central的首次钻探计划中发现了非同寻常的长时间原生铜和金矿化过程。我们的初步钻探扩大了Piuquenes Central矿化的深度和横向延伸，并证实了高度矿化的多相斑岩系统，该系统仍然向深度和东北方向开放。Piuquenes项目是一家创造资产的公司，我们期待更全面地描述第一个矿床的规模和品位潜力，并同时测试已经在Piuquenes East发现的第二块未钻探的露头斑岩。我们看到了矿床群的潜力，并将继续通过地表勘探和地球物理学推进附近的其他几个目标。”
Historical Exploration - Piuquenes Central
历史探索-Piuquenes Central
The Piuquenes copper-gold porphyry project covers ~1,880 ha in the San Juan Province of Argentina, adjacent (to the north) with the Altar copper-gold porphyry project (Aldebaran Resources Inc.) and approximately 190 km west of the city of San Juan. Other large porphyry copper projects in the San Juan Miocene porphyry belt include, El Pachón (Glencore), approximately 30 km to the south, the operating Los Pelambres copper mine (60% Antofagasta plc) in Chile, and Los Azules (McEwen Mining) 50 km to the northeast. Since its discovery, the Piuquenes project has remained privately held.
Piuquenes铜金斑岩项目占地约1,880公顷，位于阿根廷圣胡安省，与阿尔塔铜金斑岩项目（Aldebaran Resources Inc.）相邻（北部），位于圣胡安市以西约190公里处。圣胡安中新世斑岩带的其他大型斑岩铜矿项目包括位于向南约30公里处的埃尔帕洪（Glencore）、智利正在运营的洛斯佩兰布雷斯铜矿（60％的安托法加斯塔公司）以及东北50公里处的洛斯阿祖尔斯（麦克尤恩矿业）。自发现以来，Piuquenes项目一直是私人持有的。
The first evidence of copper oxides at Piuquenes was reported in 1970 by Compañia MInera Aguilar SA, who subsequently completed the first exploration program between 1973-1975. Between 1995 and 1997, Inmet Mining Corporation (IMC) completed a heli-magnetic/radiometric survey, surface geology, rock and soil geochemistry, ground magnetics, PD-IP and eight diamond drillholes (P1A to P8A) for a total of 1,894.2m. Subsequently, in 2015-2016, Anglo American Argentina (AAA) completed detailed 1:2,500 geology and geochemistry, 17.8 km of gDAS24 deep 3D PD-IP/NSMT and a 920.2 m diamond drill hole (PIU16-DDH01).
阿吉拉尔公司在1970年报告了皮乌克内斯铜氧化物的第一个证据，该公司随后在1973年至1975年间完成了第一次勘探计划。1995年至1997年间，Inmet矿业公司（IMC）完成了日磁/辐射测量、地表地质学、岩石和土壤地球化学、地磁学、PD-IP和八个钻石钻孔（P1A至P8A），总面积为1894.2米。随后，在2015-2016年，英美资源阿根廷分部（AAA）完成了详细的 1:2,500 地质学和地球化学、17.8 千米的 GDAS24 深度三维PD-IP/NSMT和一个920.2米的金刚石钻孔（PIU16-DDH01）。

ABOUT PAMPA METALS
关于 PAMPA 金属
Pampa Metals is a copper-gold exploration company listed on the Canadian Stock Exchange (CSE:PM), Frankfurt (FSE: FIR), and OTC (OTCQB: PMMCF) exchanges.
Pampa Metals是一家铜金勘探公司，在加拿大证券交易所（CSE: PM）、法兰克福（FSE股票代码：FIR）和场外交易所（场外交易代码：PMMCF）交易所上市。
In November 2023, the Company announced it had entered into an Option and Joint Venture Agreement for the acquisition of an 80% interest in the Piuquenes Copper-Gold Porphyry Project in San Juan Province, Argentina.
2023年11月，该公司宣布已签订期权和合资协议，以收购阿根廷圣胡安省皮乌肯斯铜金斑岩项目80％的权益。
Sampling Procedure and QAQC
采样程序和 QAQC
PIU01-2024DH, PIU02-2024DH and PIU03-2024DH drill holes were collared with a PQ drill bit, reduced to HQ and, sequentially, to NQ as the drill hole progressed deeper.
PIU01-2024DH、PIU02-2024DH 和 PIU03-2024DH 的钻孔是用 PQ 钻头进行钻孔的，随着钻孔的深入，这些钻孔被缩减到总部，并依次减少到了 NQ。
Drill core was extracted from the core tubes by the drill contractor under the supervision of Pampa Metals, marked for consistent orientation and placed in core boxes with appropriate depth markers added. Full core boxes were then sealed before being transported by Pampa Metals to the Piuquenes core-cutting facility in Barreal, San Juan. Core was processed, quick logged, checked for recovery, photographed, and marked for assays. Core trays were weighed before being cut using a diamond saw by Pampa Metals. Pampa Metals supervising geologist double-checked the selected two-metre sample intervals, placing the samples in sealed bags and ensuring that the same side of the core was consistently sampled. Reference numbers were assigned to each sample and each sample was weighed. The core trays with the remaining half-core were weighed and photographed and stored at the Pampa Metals facility in Barreal. From Barreal samples were sent to the ALS preparation facility in Mendoza, an accredited laboratory which is independent of the Company. Prepared samples were then sent to the ALS laboratory in Lima, Peru where they were routinely analyzed by method gold fire assay 30 gr and AAS (AA-Au23), multi-element 4-acids (ME-MS61) and 4-acid copper overlimit (Cu-OG62).
钻探承包商在Pampa Metals的监督下从岩心管中提取了钻芯，标记了方向一致，然后放置在岩心盒中，并添加了适当的深度标记。然后，装满的岩芯盒被密封起来，然后由Pampa Metals运送到位于圣胡安巴雷亚尔的皮乌克内斯切芯工厂。对核心进行了处理、快速记录、检查是否恢复、拍照并标记了化验。在使用Pampa Metals的金刚石锯切割岩芯托盘之前，先对芯盘进行了称重。Pampa Metals监督地质学家仔细检查了选定的两米采样间隔，将样品放入密封袋中，并确保岩心同一侧的采样始终如一。为每个样本分配了参考编号，并对每个样本进行了称重。对装有剩余半芯的岩芯托盘进行了称重和拍照，并存放在巴雷亚尔的潘帕金属工厂。来自Barreal的样本被送往门多萨的ALS制备设施，这是一个独立于公司的认可实验室。然后，制备好的样本被送到秘鲁利马的ALS实验室，在那里通过30克金火法和AAS（AA-Au23）、多元素4酸（ME-MS61）和4酸铜超限（Cu-OG62）进行常规分析。
1291 drillhole samples were analyzed, in addition to 140 controls (~ 11%) comprised of 47 blanks, 47 duplicates and 46 standards distributed according to the Sampling Plan and QAQC protocol prepared by Pampa Metals. The blanks consisted of silica samples collected from the Gladys mine in northern Chile (Calama). Duplicates were field control samples and comprised of 1/2 of the original sample and 1/4 of the drill core, whilst CDN-CGS-29 was used as a certified standard sample.
分析了1291个钻孔样本，此外还分析了140个对照组（约11％），其中包括根据Pampa Metals制定的抽样计划和QAQC协议分发的47个空白、47个副本和46个标准。这些空白包括从智利北部的格拉迪斯矿（卡拉马）采集的二氧化硅样品。副本是现场对照样本，由原始样本的 1/2 和 1/4 的钻芯组成，而 CDN-CGS-29 被用作认证的标准样品。
The QAQC demonstrated compliance with the established protocol, with most controls within acceptable ranges. Only copper in the blank samples reached a low level of concern, albeit within an acceptable percentage of samples, likely due to the presence of some samples with high copper content. An updated sampling protocol is in the process of being prepared and presented to the laboratory for use in future programs.
QAQC 表明符合既定协议，大多数控制措施都在可接受的范围内。尽管样品的百分比在可接受的范围内，但只有空白样品中的铜含量达到了较低的关注水平，这可能是由于存在一些铜含量高的样品。最新的采样协议正在编制之中，并已提交实验室，供将来的计划使用。
