[{"type":"text","content":"Los Andes Announces Final Results of 2017 Drill Program at the Vizcachitas DepositResults Further Support the Continuity of Good Near-Surface Mineralisation in the Central Core and Support Extension of Higher Grades to the North of Current Central Core, Including the First Intersections of Bornite in the DepositVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 27, 2017) - Los Andes Copper Ltd. (TSXV: LA) (\"Los Andes\", or the \"Company\") is very pleased to announce the results of drill holes V2017-08, V2017-09B, V2017-10 and V2017-11. Following the results already published for the 2017 campaign, these results provide support to the extension to the north of the current central core, with some of the highest grade intersections in the deposit being encountered in V2017-10, the northernmost hole of this campaign. Results also provide further support to the continuity of higher grade mineralization near surface in the project's central core, over an area of 350 metres north-south by 400 metres east-west.The key results from these holes are:V2017-09B:77.6 m @ 0.52 % Cu, 153 ppm Mo and 1.3 g/t Ag (0.57 % CuEq) from 64.4 m downholeIncluding:22.0 m @ 0.60 % Cu, 248 ppm Mo and 1.4 g/t Ag (0.68 % CuEq) from 108.0 m downholeV2017-10:506.0 m @ 0.57 % Cu, 357 ppm Mo and 1.1 g/t Ag (0.67 % CuEq) from 486.0 m downholeIncluding:76.0 m @ 0.69 % Cu, 522 ppm Mo and 1.5 g/t Ag (0.84 % CuEq) from 514.0 m downholeIncluding within, 30.0 m@ 0.95 % Cu, 337 ppm Mo and 1.6 g/t Ag (1.05 % CuEq) from 558.0 m downhole88.0 m @ 0.70 % Cu, 278 ppm Mo and 1.4 g/t Ag (0.78 % CuEq) from 684.0 m downhole60.0 m @ 0.73 % Cu, 341 ppm Mo and 1.5 g/t Ag (0.83 % CuEq) from 924.0 m downholeIncluding within, 22.0 m@ 0.94 % Cu, 392 ppm Mo and 1.5 g/t Ag (1.05 % CuEq) from 924.0 m downholeCautionary Statement: All thicknesses from intersections from drill holes are down-hole drilled thicknesses. True widths cannot be determined from the information available.BackgroundHistorical drilling was carried out on the Vizcachitas project in three exploration campaigns during 1993, 1996/1997 and 2007/2008. However, the higher grade central core had only been drilled in the 1990's campaigns and with generally shallower drill holes, therefore not properly reflecting the potential of this core area. During 2014, a complete review of the historical information was performed to...
