New Discovery at La Huerta South Sees Grades on Surface Above 10% Copper

[{"type":"text","content":"New Discovery at La Huerta South Sees Grades on Surface Above 10% CopperHALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA / ACCESS Newswire / June 19, 2025 / Axo Copper Corp. (TSXV:AXO) (\"Axo\", \"Axo Copper\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that regional exploration and target generation has yielded high grades on surface, with multiple samples returning greater than 10% copper, in a new discovery ~3km away from the main La Huerta Trend and Las Marias.\"These new high-grade samples at surface provide further evidence driving our thesis that La Huerta could contain multiple high-grade copper structures, beyond the main La Huerta Trend that hosts Las Marias,\" said Jonathan Egilo, President and CEO. \"Additional work is underway to make this a drill-ready target, and we expect to test La Huerta South with initial drilling in the back end of Q3.\"Surface Grab and Trenching ResultsThe La Huerta South area represents a region roughly 3km southwest of the Las Marias historical workings and the main La Huerta Trend (see Figure 2). Recent regional exploration work is comprised of mapping, grab sampling, and channel sampling which has resulted in numerous showings of elevated copper grades at surface. Whereas the main La Huerta Trend is characterized by an intrusive dyke with a NE-SW strike orientation, copper mineralization at La Huerta South has been found within N-S faults hosted in andesitic volcanic rocks.We currently see two broad trends at La Huerta South (see Figure 1). One has an expression that has so far been defined by a N-S strike of ~1,000 metres. This has yielded standout results through samples such as 7.0% Cu at sample LHS-3528, 10.8% Cu at LHS-3494, and 10.5% Cu at LHS-3367, with numerous other showings above 2.0% Cu. Copper mineralization is hosted in chalcopyrite and bornite.North of the aforementioned N-S fault, lies an antithetic structure with an E-W strike expression that currently extends ~500m along strike. Mineralization is also predominantly chalcopyrite and bornite, hosted within a fault through andesite. Samples in this E-W structure are highlighted by 3.6% at LHS-15808, and 2.6% at LHS-1244.FIGURE 1: SURFACE SAMPLE AND TRENCH RESULTS AT LA HUERTA SOUTH FIGURE 2: RESULTS FROM LA HUERTA SOUTH ARE ~3KM AWAY FROM LAS MARIAS Table 1: Select Surface Sample Results from La Huerta South Sample IDTypeFromToIntervalCopperGold(1) mmm...
