Aldebaran Resources reports results for drill holes at Altar Copper-Gold project

Aldebaran Resources reports results for five drill holes of the 2023/2024 field campaign at the Altar copper-gold project in San Juan, Argentina. The holes reported herein were all substantial step-outs to the north or south of known mineralization. The holes were designed to test the edges of known mineralization and expand the mineralized footprint within the large, conductive MT geophysical anomaly at the Altar project. All holes hit mineralization and successfully extended the mineralized footprint of the deposit. Highlights: ALD-24-235: 362.50 m of 0.34% CuEq from 3.90 m depth Including 78.00 m of 0.54% CuEq from 25.00 m depth; 357.80 m of 0.27% CuEq from 424.20 m depth including 110.00 m of 0.41% CuEq from 428.00 m depth; 410.50 m of 0.36% CuEq from 811.00 m depth Including 266.50 m of 0.45% CuEq from 955.00 m depth Including 182.50 m of 0.52% CuEq from 1,039.00 m depth; Hole ended in this mineralization. ALD-24-236: 1,133.70 m of 0.23% CuEq from 213.00 m depth. ALD-24-237: 129.50 of 0.20% CuEq from 95.50 m depth. ALD-24-238: 1,159.50 m of 0.24% CuEq from 42.00 m depth Including 53.85 m of 0.46% CuEq from 274.00 m depth, Including 91.50 m of 0.47% CuEq from 1,110.00 m depth. ALD-24-239: 77.10 m of 0.19% CuEq from 250.00 m depth; Adds mineralization to an area that was defined as waste in 2021 resource estimate; 353.00 m of 0.46% CuEq from 696.00 m depth Including 233.00 m of 0.59% CuEq from 816.00 m depth, Including 122.00 m of 0.65% CuEq from 927.00 m depth; Hole ended in mineralization. Mineralization hosted in rhyolite, which historically at Altar has been a poor host rock and only mineralized when it’s close to a mineralized porphyry intrusion. John Black, Chief Executive Officer of Aldebaran, commented as follows: “Drilling at Altar continues to grow the mineralized footprint of the deposit. With the drill holes reported today, we’ve extended known mineralization substantially to the north and south. To date, most of the reported drilling results from the 2023/2024 campaign have been from holes on the edges of the deposit where there was little to no drilling completed historically. While these holes may not be the most exciting from a grade perspective, they provide valuable information and are necessary to complete a resource update later this year. Moving forward, most of the remaining holes will focus on the core of the deposit, with a particular focus on growing Altar United and Altar East.”
