GoldMining Commences 1,200m Drilling Program at Yarumalito Gold-Copper Project
Event summary
- GoldMining has started a 1,200m core drilling program at its Yarumalito Gold-Copper Project in Colombia.
- The program aims to test a refined geological model and expand the mineralized P-1 porphyry unit.
- Historical drill intercepts include 257m at 0.50 g/t Au and 0.1% Cu, 250m at 0.51 g/t Au and 0.13% Cu, and 141.4m at 0.77 g/t Au and 0.09% Cu.
- The project has an existing inferred mineral resource estimate of 66.3 million tonnes at 0.58 g/t Au and 0.09% Cu.
The big picture
GoldMining's drilling program at Yarumalito is strategically significant as it aims to expand the mineralized P-1 porphyry unit in a region known for major gold-copper discoveries. The project's proximity to Collective Mining's Guayabales project and Aris Mining's Marmato mine underscores its potential in Colombia's prolific Mid Cauca belt. The success of this program could enhance GoldMining's portfolio and market positioning in the gold-copper sector.
What we're watching
