(\"Aldebaran\" or the \"Company\") (TSXV:ALDE)(OTCQX:ADBRF) is pleased to report results for the final holes from the 2023/2024 field campaign at the Altar copper-gold project in San Juan, Argentina. All holes intercepted significant mineralization, expanded the mineralized footprint, and will provide valuable information for the upcoming mineral resource estimate scheduled for H2 2024.HighlightsALD-24-150EXT1,229.50 m of 0.55% CuEq from 10.00 m depthIncluding 742.90 m of 0.69% CuEq from 377.10 m depthIncluding 345.00 m of 0.85% CuEq from 470.00 m depthHole ended in mineralizationExtension of historic holeALD-24-245735.00 m of 0.50% CuEq from 244.00 m depthIncluding 202.55 m of 0.66% CuEq from 577.25 m depthHole ended (prematurely due to winter weather conditions) in mineralizationALD-24-062EXT1,043.00 m of 0.37% CuEq from 118.00 m depthIncluding 729.00 m of 0.43% CuEq from 122.00 m depthHole ended in mineralizationExtension of historic holeALD-24-244592.00 m of 0.27% CuEq from 469.00 m depthHole ended in mineralizationJohn Black, Chief Executive Officer of Aldebaran, commented: \"The Altar project continues to grow. These holes expand the mineralized footprint laterally and at depth, with ALD-24-150EXT demonstrating the higher-grade potential at Altar. With the 2023/2024 field campaign behind us, we're now looking at the next stage for the Altar project. Since the last resource estimate was produced on the project in 2021, we have completed more than 63,000 m of drilling and made a major discovery in the Altar United zone. With all this additional information in hand, we expect a significant increase when we complete a mineral resource update in the second half of 2024. Also, in H2 2025 we plan to produce the first PEA on the project. Both studies will demonstrate the size and scale of the Altar project.\"Dr. Kevin B. Heather, Chief Geological Officer of Aldebaran, commented: \"The 2023/2024 campaign continues to deliver significantly long runs of interesting mineralization that both fill gaps in our drill hole coverage (ALD-24-150EXT and 245) and expand the mineralized footprint (ALD-24-062EXT and 244). With all drill holes now reported, we have positioned the pr...
