Gold Hart Copper Reports High-Grade Geochemical Results at Nessa and Provides Tolita Drilling Update
Overview
Gold Hart Copper Corp. (TSXV: HART), announced positive results from its geochemical survey at the Nessa gold-copper-silver complex in Chile, confirming high grades across multiple samples. The company also provided an update on drilling at its flagship Tolita gold-copper-molybdenum-silver asset in the Vicuña District, where the drill has reached 900 metres and, according to the company, remains within the mineralized system of interest.
Gold Hart recently expanded the Nessa complex by approximately 3.3 times, from 4,100 hectares to a current land position of 13,500 hectares (135 km²). The follow-on geochemical survey was designed to confirm historic high grades, map pit geology, and investigate newly identified mining pits visible through satellite imagery.
Key Highlights
- 12 of 51 geochemical samples returned at least 1 g/t gold, with 6 samples containing at least 4 g/t and 2 samples exceeding 9 g/t gold
- 4 samples returned at least 100 g/t silver
- 12 samples returned at least 3,000 ppm copper, with 9 samples exceeding 5,000 ppm copper (re-analysis underway to determine exact values)
- Tolita drilling has reached 900 metres, with the company's preliminary interpretation indicating the hole remains within the mineralized system of interest
- Core intervals at Tolita show veins containing pyrite, chalcopyrite, bornite, and covellite, consistent with a porphyry-style environment
- Company plans to add a reverse circulation (RC) drill rig at Tolita to target a high-grade trench grading up to 52 g/t gold equivalent with 4% copper
Operational Context
The Nessa Complex is located west of Kinross' La Coipa Gold Mine and south of Codelco's El Salvador-Potrerillos copper mining and smelting complex. According to the press release, Nessa is also surrounded by Newmont, Solaris, JX Nippon, and Anglo American, and sits northwest of Rio2's Fenix Gold Mine.
At Tolita, the company reports that core continues to display encouraging characteristics, with multiple intervals showing strong hydrothermal alterations and mineralization. Gold Hart geologists recently observed veins with pyrite, chalcopyrite, bornite, and covellite, which the company states supports further deepening of the hole. The current target depth is 1,100 to 1,200 metres.
Rodrigo Díaz Tillería, P.Geo, Vice President, commented that while the focus remains on Tolita's large-scale porphyry potential, the asset also offers the opportunity to target and potentially prove a high-grade shallower component. The planned RC drilling is intended to test the highest-grade trench, which the company reports includes 2 metres at 10.40 g/t gold, 20 g/t silver, and 2.88% copper.
What to Watch Next
- Re-analysis results for high-grade copper samples from Nessa, expected within the coming week according to the company
- Continued diamond drilling at Tolita toward 1,100 to 1,200 metre target depth
- Mobilization of RC drill rig at Tolita to test high-grade near-surface targets
- Next phase exploration at Nessa including soil sampling, trenching, IP and magnetic surveys, and RC drilling
