Accesswire ·  06/12 04:36

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / June 11, 2024 / Alta Copper Corp. (TSX:ATCU)(OTCQX:ATCUF)(BVL:ATCU) ("Alta Copper" or "the Company") is pleased to announce it has filed a technical report titled "Cañariaco Copper Project NI 43-101 Technical Report & Preliminary Economic Assessment". The technical report for the 2024 Optimized Preliminary Economic Assessment ("2024 PEA") on its 100% owned Cañariaco Project ("Cañariaco" or the "Project") was filed and is available on SEDAR+ at and on the Company's website at .

Alta Copper Corp.(TSX(tsx):ATCU)(OTCQX:ATCUF)(BVL:ATCU)(以下簡稱“Alta Copper”或“該公司”)很高興宣佈,其已提交了一份名爲“Cañariaco Copper Project NI 43-101技術報告和初步經濟評估”的技術報告。該技術報告涉及其100%擁有的Cañariaco項目(以下簡稱“Cañariaco”或“該項目”)的2024年度優化初步經濟評估(以下簡稱“2024 PEA”)。該技術報告已經提交,並可在SEDA加拿大證券監管局+網站和公司網站上獲得。

Cañariaco is a world class porphyry copper project, located 102 km northeast of Chiclayo in Northern Peru. The 2024 PEA was prepared by Ausenco Engineering Canada ULC ("Ausenco"), AGP Mining Consultants Inc. ("AGP") and Whittle Consulting Pty. Ltd., ("Whittle"), respectively leading international engineering and mining consultancy firms.

Cañariaco是一個世界級斑岩銅項目,位於秘魯北部奇克拉約102公里處。2024年 PEA 是由國際知名工程和礦業諮詢公司 Ausenco Engineering Canada ULC(以下簡稱 Ausenco)、AGP Mining Consultants Inc.(以下簡稱 AGP)和 Whittle Consulting Pty. Ltd.(以下簡稱 Whittle)編制的。

Joanne Freeze, President and CEO, commented "We are extremely pleased with not only the robust economic results of our 2024 PEA but also the ESG improvements since 2011. Minimizing the overall footprint as well as impacts on watersheds, arable lands and local communities while maximizing value is a substantial accomplishment. While we are very pleased with the scale of operation providing a long-life, large scale copper project producing annual average copper of 158,000 tonnes per year in the first 10 years, we also look forward to the expansion opportunities of our mineral resource by way of further drilling."

Joanne Freeze,總裁兼首席執行官,評論道:“我們不僅對2024年 PEA 的強大經濟結果感到非常滿意,而且對2011年以來 ESG 改進也感到非常滿意。最大化價值,同時最小化整體印跡以及對流域、可耕耕地和當地社區的影響是一個實質性的成就。雖然我們對大型開多礦、年均銅產量爲158,000噸的規模操作非常滿意,但我們也期待進一步的礦產資源擴張機會,通過進一步鑽探實現。

Project Opportunities

項目機會

As listed below, there are several opportunities which could improve the economics and impact of the project and should be considered as the project continues along the development and permitting path:

如下列出了幾個有可能提高該項目經濟收益和影響的機會,應在發展和許可路徑上考慮:

Mineral Resource Expansion and Estimation

礦產資源擴大和估計

  • Additional drilling in several defined project areas of the Cañariaco property have the potential to:
  • delineate additional mineral resources;
  • support both an increase and/or expansion of known resources; and,
  • upgrade the portions of the mineral resources currently classified as Inferred to Indicated and/or Measured resources
  • Cañariaco項目的幾個項目區域可以進行進一步的鑽探,以:
  • 勾勒出額外的礦產資源;
  • 支撐已知礦產資源的增加和/或擴大;和,
  • 將當前被歸類爲推測礦產儲量的部分提升爲指示礦產儲量和/或測量礦產儲量

A review of deeper zones of the Norte deposit recently identified that 32 of 47 drill holes drilled to 400 metres or more bottomed in mineralization. DDH 07-135 bottomed in 0.55% Cu (over last 10 metres) at 721 metres and DDH 07-141 bottomed in 0.38% Cu (over last 10 metres) at 770 metres. Of the 32 holes drilled to depths between 400 and 770 metres, 27 drill holes intersected grades from 0.31 to 0.74% Cu.

最新發現,諾特礦牀更深的區域,47個鑽孔中有32個鑽孔底部都鑽到了礦化帶。DDH 07-135在721米處底部爲0.55%銅(最後10米),DDH 07-141在770米處底部爲0.38%銅(最後10米)。在400米到770米深度之間鑽探的32個孔中,有27個孔穿過了0.31至0.74%的銅級別。

Additional drilling is planned to be undertaken deeper on and laterally to the Norte deposit, laterally to and deeper on the Sur deposit as well as to the south of Sur on the Quebrada Verde prospect.

將計劃進行更深的諾特和南部廣場的鑽探以及南部廣場向南的Quebrada Verde地區的鑽探,以進行諾特優化和更好區分礦物質量及南部廣場礦的側向和深度增加。南部廣場的橫向深度極限完全不明確,迄今只鑽探了15個孔。針對Quebrada Verde地區可以用鑽孔測試大面積的改性侵入體,這個地區是與斑岩礦牀典型的地球化學和地球物理異常相吻合,目前沒有接受過鑽探試驗。

  • Drilling at Norte could extend or better define higher grade zones as well as to provide sufficient data to support potential upgrading of the portions of the mineral resources currently classified as Inferred to Indicated and/or Measured resources. Drilling at Sur is to identify lateral and depth extensions of the known mineralization which could increase the mineral resources substantially. The lateral and depths limits of the Sur deposit are completely unknown with only 15 holes drilled to date.
  • Quebrada Verde drilling will test extensive altered intrusive bodies coinciding with geochemical and geophysical anomalies which are all typical of porphyry deposits and are completely untested by drilling to date.
  • Norte的鑽探可以延伸或更好地定義更高級別區域,並提供足夠的數據來支持將當前被分類爲推測礦產儲量的部分提升爲指示礦產儲量和/或測量礦產儲量。南廣場的鑽探可以確定已知礦化的側向和深度延伸,這可能會顯着增加礦產資源的數量。南廣場的側向和深度極限完全不確定,迄今只鑽探了15個孔。Quebrada Verde的鑽探將測試大面積的改性侵入體,這個地區是與斑岩礦牀典型的地球化學和地球物理異常相吻合,目前沒有接受過鑽探試驗。
  • 礦山規劃

Mine Plan

通過額外的岩土力學鑽探,可以對坑壁進行優化設計,預計可以提高經濟效益,特別是如果能夠陡峭化一些採區的壁並降低其礦石產出比。

Additional geotechnical drilling could allow an optimization to the design of pit slopes which would be expected to improve economics especially if able to steepen some of the pit walls and decrease the strip ratio.

冶金試驗和回收技術

Metallurgical Test Work and Recovery Methods

增加整體試驗數據庫可以優化經濟參數。這可能會導致增加回收率,降低運營成本並提高濃縮品質。此外,進一步的浮選試驗應考慮像顆粒較大的浮選和/或空氣感應式浮選機之類的替代技術。

Increasing the overall testwork database could optimize the process parameters. This could result in increased recoveries, lower operating costs and improved concentrate quality. In addition, further flotation testwork should consider alternative technologies such as course particle flotation and/or air induction style flotation machines.

增加整體試驗數據庫可以優化工藝參數。這可能會導致回收率提高,運營成本降低,濃縮品質提高。此外,進一步的浮選試驗應考慮使用替代技術,例如粗粒子浮選和/或空氣感應浮選機。

美國投資者注意

Cautionary Note to US Investors
We advise U.S. investors that this news release uses terms defined in the 2014 edition of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM) "CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves", as incorporated by reference in Canadian National Instrument 43-101 "Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects", for reporting of mineral resource estimates. These Canadian standards, including NI 43-101, differ from the requirements of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as set forth in the mining disclosure rules under Regulation S-K 1300. Regulation S-K 1300 uses the same terminology for mineral resources, but the definitions are not identical to NI 43-101 and CIM Definition Standards. Regulation S-K 1300 uses the term "initial assessment" for an evaluation of potential project economics based on mineral resources. This study type has some similarities to a Preliminary Economic Assessment, but the definition and content requirements of an initial assessment are not identical to the definition and content requirements for a PEA under NI 43-101.

美國投資者注意事項
我們提醒美國投資者,此新聞稿採用了2014年加拿大礦業、冶金和石油學會(CIM)《礦產資源和儲量的CIM定義標準》第二版規定的術語,該標準已被加拿大43-101號全國行政法規《礦產項目披露標準》所收錄。這些加拿大標準,包括43-101號法規,不同於美國證券交易委員會(SEC)在S-k 1300規定下采用的礦業披露規則的要求。 S-k 1300規定下的礦產資源使用相同的術語,但其定義與43-101號法規和CIM定義標準並不完全相同。S-k 1300規定下使用“初步評估”這一術語來評估基於礦產資源的潛在項目經濟。這種研究類型與初步經濟評估(PEA)有一些相似之處,但是初步評估的定義和內容要求並不與43-101號法規下PEA的定義和內容要求完全相同。
