Orestone Mining (TSXV: ORS) announced it has started exploration work on its Resguardo copper-gold porphyry project in northern Chile.<\/p>\n

In a press release, Orestone said that a geophysical contractor has been mobilized to conduct a 10 line kilometre<\/g> induced polarization\/resistivity geophysical survey or IP at the property.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Resguardo project is located in the Middle Tertiary porphyry copper belt, which hosts Codelco’s El Salvador and Potrerillos mines<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n

According to the company, the program will consist of 5 lines of 2 kilometres each designed to better define the presently identified IP chargeability anomaly and to test for a potential extension to the southwest. <\/p>\n

“The present IP chargeability anomaly has been defined by two lines over a 1000 metre strike length and a width of 300-600 metres starting at a depth of 200 metres with values of 15-30 mv\/V,” the miner’s release states. <\/p>\n

The Resguardo project is located 90 kilometres northeast of the city of Copiap\u00f3 and covers 29 square kilometres of mining concessions. <\/p>\n

Orestone reports that copper-gold mineralization at the property occurs as disseminations and fracture coatings within a 50-100 metre<\/g> wide vertical fracture zone along a strike length of 1500 metres<\/g>, open to the southwest.<\/p>\n

Historically, copper and gold grading 1-2% and up to 0.60\u00a0g\/t respectively were mined in a shallow open pit measuring 150 x 60 metres<\/g> and several tunnels 50 metres<\/g> below surface<\/g>.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
