[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / January 10, 2024 / Pampa Metals Corp. (\"Pampa Metals\" or the \"Company\") (CNSX:PM )(FRA:FIR) (OTCQB:PMMCF) is pleased to advise that it has identified an additional zone of undrilled and outcropping porphyry related quartz-vein stockworks coincident with geophysical and geochemical anomalies at the Piuquenes Porphyry Copper-Gold Project. Piuquenes East Stockwork Zone Since optioning the Piuquenes Porphyry Copper-Gold Project (refer 30 November 2023 News Release) the Company has completed a comprehensive review of the project's technical data base which includes: Detailed Surface Geology and Geochemistry (1:2500); Geophysics - Deep 3D PDIP & NSMT (17.8km gDAS24); Airborne magnetic/radiometric survey; and 2,800m of well-preserved historical drill core. This review, complemented by Pampa Metals' recent drillcore re-logging, field validation and preparatory works for follow-up drilling, has led to the identification of three additional areas of undrilled porphyry intrusives at the Piuquenes Project (refer Figure 2). One of these zones, referred to as the Piuquenes East prospect, is located immediately proximate to the mineralized Altar North Porphyry held by Aldebaran Resources. The Piuquenes East prospect is characterized by outcrops of sinuous and banded dark gray quartz veinlets covering an area of 100 x 200m hosted within an altered intermineral porphyry. Alteration is typical of that commonly observed in the epithermal-porphyry transition zone of fully preserved, high level porphyry systems. The mapped stockwork zone is associated with a 400 x 300 m copper-gold soil-rock geochemical anomaly, and co-incident intermediate chargeability and intermediate-high resistivity anomalies in Electrical (IP) Geophysics. Joseph van den Elsen, the Company's President and CEO, stated: \"We are very encouraged by the identification of additional porphyry targets located within a district scale cluster of large, highly mineralized copper-gold porphyry deposits (Altar-Piuquenes porphyry cluster). Adding to the significant intervals of high-grade copper-gold mineralization reported in limited drilling at Piuquenes Central to date (refer 5 December 2023 News Release), the identification of these additional high-quality porphyry targets clearly demonstrates the potential for multiple discoveries within the wider ...
