[{"type":"text","content":"\nLos Andes Announces the Second Batch of Results for the 2017 Drill Program at the Vizcachitas DepositResults of Drill Hole V2017-02 Continue to Support Presence of Higher Grades in the Central Core Including an 88-metre Intersection of 0.60% Cu (0.72% Cueq)Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 9, 2017) - Los Andes Copper Ltd. (TSXV: LA) (\"Los Andes\", or the \"Company\"), is very pleased to announce the results of the bottom portion of drill hole V2017-01A and all of V2017-02. Following the initial results published on June 30, 2017, these results further confirm the presence of higher grade mineralization in the project's central core.The key results from the drill hole V2017-02 are:88.0 m @ 0.60 % Cu, 389 ppm Mo and 1.5 g/t Ag (0.72 % CuEq) from 680.0 m downhole            Including:            44.0 m @ 0.66 % Cu, 449 ppm Mo and 1.6 g/t Ag (0.79 % CuEq) from 724.0 m downhole22.0 m @ 0.53 % Cu, 103 ppm Mo and 1.0 g/t Ag (0.57 % CuEq) from 138.0 m downhole54.0 m @ 0.55 % Cu, 126 ppm Mo and 1.7 g/t Ag (0.60 % CuEq) from 222.0 m downhole            Including:            20.0 m @ 0.72 % Cu, 86 ppm Mo and 2.2 g/t Ag (0.77 % CuEq) from 222.0 m downholeAs reported on June 30, 2017, drill hole V2015-01A demonstrated the continuity of the higher grade mineralization intersected during the successful 2015/2016 drilling campaign. Hole V2015-01A is 150 metres to the north of drill holes V2015-03 and V2015-05. Drill hole V2017-02 is located on the same section as drill hole V2015-05 and V2015-03 and is 100 metres south of section for V2017-01A. The hole was drilled in a northwestern direction at an inclination of -65 degrees so that the hole is approximately 200 metres below drill hole V2015-05 on the section. The drill hole has demonstrated the continuity of grade between the drill holes and the importance of the early diorite porphyry in the mineralisation of the deposit. The drilling results to date now demonstrate the continuity of the higher grade early diorite porphyry over a strike length of 200 metres from drill hole V2017-02 to V2015-08.Cautionary Statement: All thicknesses from intersections from drill holes are down-hole drilled thicknesses. True widths cannot be determined from the infor...
