Peru 0001: An Exciting Cu-Au-Ag Porphyry Opportunity in Apurimac
Nestled in the highly prospective Andahuaylas-Yauri belt of Peru’s Apurimac region, Peru 0001 is a promising 500-hectare copper-gold-silver (Cu-Au-Ag) porphyry system with remarkable potential.
Drilling conducted in 2003 revealed an exciting discovery: all three holes ended in mineralization, underscoring the system’s untapped promise. The final 80 meters of hole 2 delivered an average of 0.40% Cu, 0.08 g/t Au, and 4 g/t Ag—an impressive indication of grade continuity.
Compelling magnetic data hints that the system extends beyond the drilled area, highlighting a significant 1 km x 0.5 km untested anomaly to the north. This anomaly, interpreted as porphyry mineralization within quartzite host rocks, remains an enticing exploration target.
Adding to the excitement, copper grades in hole 3 increase with depth, barely scratching the magnetized body, suggesting even richer mineralization lies below. Meanwhile, hole 2 revealed a shallow supergene copper zone, further enhancing the property’s near-surface potential.
With strong indications of untapped resources and multiple high-priority targets, Peru 0001 represents a standout opportunity in one of Peru’s most productive mining belts.
