EuroPacific Metals, led by CEO Karim Rayani, has announced an expansion of its drilling program at the Miguel Vacas mine area. The company will extend an additional drill hole to a depth of 350 meters, targeting the high-grade zone below the fourth hole where a mineralized section was previously intersected. This new hole will also explore an area approximately 80 meters north, where earlier results revealed a 22.8-meter section grading 2.76% copper, including a 9.0-meter interval grading an impressive 7.49% copper. Rayani explained the decision to extend the program, aiming to test the 'fresh' mineralization below the oxidized rich material in the same section as hole EBMV004, which encountered a wide mineralized section. The mineralized system at Miguel Vacas extends for at least 2 kilometers along strike and remains open at depth, including an 80-meter supergene blanket containing copper carbonates, phosphates, and oxides transitioning to a sulphide assemblage primarily composed of chalcopyrite and pyrite. With 10 holes totaling 1,060 meters completed to date, this expanded drilling program underscores @europacificmetals' commitment to thoroughly exploring and developing the Miguel Vacas copper deposit, with the goal of uncovering substantial resources and enhancing the project's overall value. #mining #exploration #copper
