Esperanza (Porphyry Cu-Mo)

Summary

  • 5,000 ha property in the Paleocene magmatic arc.100% Forte Minetals
  • 2.8 x 1.7 km potassic zone is inferred from geological, geochemical, and geophysical patterns
  • Prospective for supergene-enriched and hypogene (sulfide) Cu mineralization
  • Untested by drilling
  • Porphyry footprint measuring 4.2 x 3.1 km is constrained by geologic mapping

Esperanza is located in the Paleocene belt of southern Peru which is well endowed with some of the world’s most prolific copper deposits.

Existing porphyry copper mines coupled with recent discoveries from exploration make this an optimal region for copper exploration, discovery, resource development and permitting.

Regional Setting – Paleocene Belt of Southern Peru

Esperanza is located in the Paleocene belt of southern Peru. The existing porphyry copper mines coupled with recent discoveries from exploration make this an optimal region for copper exploration, discovery, resource development and permitting.

  • Geophysical response aids interpretation of under- cover target resistive veneer maps Huaylillas colluvium.
  • Low resistivity represents deep weathering promoted by phyllic alteration.
  • Body with low magnetic susceptibility maps porphyry complex.
  • Geological patterns (alteration, veining)
  • Porphyry system is emplaced into Coastal Batholith.
  • Potassic zone exposed on edge of post-mineral cover

Target Identification

  • Exposure of debris from an eroded sericite-pyrite alteration zone indicates a porphyry centre buried beneath post-mineral volcanic cover.
  • Pre-depositional weathering of debris fragments indicates potential for supergene enrichment of the buried porphyry centre.
