[{"type":"text","content":"Los Andes Announces Third Results of 2017 Drill Program at the Vizcachitas DepositResults of Drill Hole V2017-05 Extend Known Higher Grade Mineralization to the North and Drill Hole V2017-04 Continues to Support Presence of Higher Grades near Surface in the Central CoreVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 5, 2017) - Los Andes Copper Ltd. (TSXV: LA) (\"Los Andes\", or the \"Company\") is very pleased to announce the results of drill holes V2017-04, V2015-08Ex (extension of last year's V2015-08) and V2017-05. Following the results already published for the 2017 campaign, these results not only further support the presence of higher grade mineralization in the project's central core, but extend presence of high grade mineralization to the north of the existing central core, to areas categorized as either waste or low grade in the old geological model.The key results from these holes are:V2017-04:90.0 m @ 0.51 % Cu, 127 ppm Mo and 1.6 g/t Ag (0.56 % CuEq) from 92.0 m downholeIncluding:30.0 m @ 0.60 % Cu, 121 ppm Mo and 1.8 g/t Ag (0.65 % CuEq) from 142.0 m downholeV2015-08Ex: (from last year's bottom of 725.5 metres)26.0 m @ 0.50 % Cu, 441 ppm Mo and 1.1 g/t Ag (0.62 % CuEq) from 804.0 m downhole28.0 m @ 0.53 % Cu, 361 ppm Mo and 1.0 g/t Ag (0.64 % CuEq) from 946.0 m downholeV2017-05:28.0 m @ 0.55 % Cu, 234 ppm Mo and 0.9 g/t Ag (0.62 % CuEq) from 170.0 m downhole48.0 m @ 0.55 % Cu, 248 ppm Mo and 1.1 g/t Ag (0.63 % CuEq) from 212.0 m downhole18.0 m @ 0.53 % Cu, 151 ppm Mo and 1.2 g/t Ag (0.58 % CuEq) from 286.0 m downhole22.0 m @ 0.53 % Cu, 179 ppm Mo and 1.4 g/t Ag (0.59 % CuEq) from 368.0 m downhole80.0 m @ 0.53 % Cu, 285 ppm Mo and 1.9 g/t Ag (0.63 % CuEq) from 798.0 m downholeIncluding:36.0 m @ 0.59 % Cu, 183 ppm Mo and 2.1 g/t Ag (0.66 % CuEq) from 840.0 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 histor...
