Aldebaran Resources reports results from two holes at Altar copper-gold project

Aldebaran Resources reporst additional results from two holes at its ongoing drilling campaign at the Altar copper-gold project in San Juan Province, Argentina. Hole ALD-22-222 was drilled in an area with no previous drilling and was designed to test a favourable geophysical signature coincident with a strong, multi-element talus fines geochemical anomaly at surface. Drill hole ALD-22-222 was terminated at 1,226.00 m depth. Hole ALD-22-223 represents a 500 m step out from previously drilled hole ALD-22-221 and was designed to test a geophysical anomaly in an area of favourable geological and geochemical information gleaned from nearby shallow drilling. Hole ALD-22-223 was terminated at 1,287.50 m depth. The Company notes that its CuEq formula has changed from previous press releases and that the updated CuEq formula incorporates estimated recoveries for all reported commodities. Highlights: ALD-22-223: 1,167.50 m of 0.48% CuEq from 120 m depth; Including 418.00 m of 0.67% CuEq from 848 m depth; Hole ended in mineralization. ALD-22-222: 25.30 m of 0.40% CuEq from 196.70 m depth; 48.00 m of 0.27% CuEq from 248 m depth; 378.00 m of 0.46% CuEq from 848 m depth; Hole ended in mineralization. John Black, CEO commented: "Anytime you intersect over a kilometre of good-grade mineralization, it’s exciting. In the case of hole 223, it’s very encouraging as the mineralization starts near surface and is in an area with no previous drilling. This opens a very large area for potential resource expansion and demonstrates that the Altar deposit, while already very large, has the potential to become significantly larger."
