Nobel Resources Commences First Diamond Drilling Program at Cuprita Copper Project
Overview
Nobel Resources Corp. announced on January 16, 2026, that diamond drilling has commenced at its Cuprita copper project in Chile. According to the company, this marks the first ever diamond drill program on the highly prospective project. The drilling campaign follows a year of exploration surveys by Nobel's Chilean technical team, which the company said identified key geological and geophysical characteristics associated with mineralized porphyry copper systems in the region.
The Cuprita Project is comprised of 1,000 hectares and is strategically located in the prolific Paleocene porphyry copper belt of Chile, positioned near major deposits including El Salvador, Cerro Colorado, Spence, Sierra Gorda, and Fortuna.
Key Highlights
- First ever diamond drilling program initiated at the Cuprita copper project
- Located within the Paleocene porphyry copper belt in Chile
- Exploration surveys identified widespread copper mineralization in outcrops, including small scale mines, and extensive copper geochemistry anomalies
- Presence of an extensive leach cap, commonly associated with porphyry copper deposits in this region
- Extensive development of tourmaline breccia zones, a common pathfinder for porphyry copper projects in the region
- IP anomalies and magnetic lows associated with the target area, similar to low-pyrite porphyry copper deposits in the region
- Structural setting similar to major deposits, including El Salvador, Cerro Colorado, Spence, Sierra Gorda, and Fortuna
Strategic Context
Larry Guy, Chairman and CEO of Nobel, stated, "We are excited to commence 2026 with the initial diamond drilling campaign of the highly prospective copper porphyry targets at Cuprita. The work that the Nobel team has done outlines a compelling area with extensive copper mineralization and associated alteration at surface, with key characteristics typically associated with mineralized porphyry copper deposits in this region of Chile."
The company reported that its Chilean technical team conducted exploration surveys over the past year that revealed geological and geophysical characteristics indicating potential for a porphyry copper system. According to the press release, the project is located in a northeast structural corridor crosscut by northwest secondary faults, a structural setting similar to major regional deposits.
What to Watch Next
- Results from the inaugural diamond drilling program at Cuprita
- Further exploration updates on geological and geophysical findings
- Continued development of the copper project portfolio in Chile's Antofagasta Region
