This reanalysis found that the average soluble copper values more than doubled over the previously reported oxide copper values.  For intervals specifically within the high grade Diva Structure, the average soluble copper increased by over 500%. This is significant as the mineralization in the Diva Structure could potentially be processed either by heap leach producing cathode copper or by conventional milling producing a copper concentrate. Results comparing the acid soluble to the total soluble copper values have been tabulated and can be found under the Chapitos Project tab of the Company website. Holes DCH-041 to DCH-057 were assayed directly using the sequential leach technique and are included in the tabulation.\n\nIn other developments, drill...
