INTERCEPT OF 4.7% COPPER OVER 11 METRES IN LATEST DRILL HOLE INTO EL PILAR PORPHYRY, CUBA HIGHLIGHTS – pXRF Readings 29m @ 2.05% Cu from 151m, incl 11m @ 4.70% Cu with 1m interval @ 17.37% Cu “PDH-052A has shown highly encouraging porphyry style copper mineralization and now we are seeing this associated with diatreme breccia hosted mineralization occurring together, increasing the quantity of mineralization from multiple overprinting hydrothermal events. We are now confident that the system is growing to the SE, where no drilling to date has occurred, and where we are seeing both high grades and widths of mineralization expanding. The intersection of high grade copper mineralization in sulphides in the southern part of the El Pilar prospect confirmed by the pXRF readings gives us great encouragement for the potential of this prospect. Given the drillhole terminated in chalcopyrite in a fault zone, the porphyry remains open at depth, and future drilling will be aimed at targeting the core of the porphyry body”. Exploration Director Christian J. Grainger (PhD) Assays have also been received from seven additional holes in the overlying gold-copper oxide deposit. HIGHLIGHTS: Gold Domain PDH-041_ 15m @ 2.10g/t Au from surface 6m @ 1.19g/t Au from 20m Copper Domain PDH-041_ 5.5m @ 0.6% Cu from 48m PDH-042_ 25m @ 0.9% Cu from 45m PDH-043_ 5m @ 0.81% Cu from 84m PDH-045_ 16m @ 0.71% Cu from 4m PDH-046_ 6m @ 0.78% Cu from 53m "The continuing high copper grades in the El Pilar oxide deposit will be reflected in the MRE for the proposed Nueva Sabana gold-copper mine when published in January 2024, and reinforce the Company’s confidence in commencing construction of the low cap-ex mine in May/June 2024, which is expected to show outstanding returns on funds invested.” Chairman, Brian Johnson #ASX #Copper #Gold #Cuba
