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

Aldebaran Resources reports results for three drill holes from the 2023/2024 field campaign at the Altar copper-gold project in San Juan, Argentina. All three holes intercepted significant mineralization and expanded the mineralized footprint, with ALD-24-243 intercepting one of the longest contiguous runs of mineralization encountered on the property to date. All three holes will provide valuable information for the upcoming mineral resource estimate, scheduled for H2 2024. Highlights: ALD-24-243: 1,517.00 m of 0.55% CuEq from 325.00 m depth; Including 919.55 m of 0.66% CuEq from 527.00 m depth; Including 227.00 m of 0.79% CuEq from 930.00 m depth; Extends the mineralized Altar United porphyry to the North, well beyond previous interpretations; Hole ended in mineralization. ALD-24-129EXT: 1,047.00 m of 0.38% CuEq from 164.00 m depth; Including 116.30 m of 0.56% CuEq from 713.00 m depth; Fills in a gap in the drilling for the upcoming mineral resource update; Hole ended in mineralization; Extension of historic hole that was originally terminated at 513.00 m depth. ALD-24-165EXT: 986.00 m of 0.29% CuEq; Including 333.50 m of 0.41% CuEq from 633.00 m depth; Including 109.10 m of 0.60% CuEq from 851.00 m depth; Fills in a gap in the drilling for the upcoming mineral resource update; Hole ended in mineralization; Extension of historic hole that was originally terminated at 484.50 m depth. John Black, CEO of Aldebaran, commented: “Intercepting more than 1.5 km of continuous attractive grade mineralization in ALD-243 is a testament to the size and scale of the Altar project. This project is already very large, but with each additional drill hole, we grow the mineralized footprint. Since our last resource estimate in 2021, we’ve completed more than 60,000 m of drilling on the project and we’re very excited to see how much the overall mineral resource estimate will grow when we complete a resource update in H2 of this year.”
