[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 09, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Los Andes Copper Ltd. (\"Los Andes\" or the \"Company\", TSX Venture Exchange: LA) is pleased to provide an update on the geological mapping and geophysics work programs conducted on the Company’s Vizcachitas Project (“Vizcachitas” or the “Project”). The geological and geophysical work programs have demonstrated evidence of extensions to known mineralisation to the north, east and south-east of the current resources. Over the past months, a program of geological mapping, geochemical sampling and induced polarisation (IP) / resistivity and magneto-telluric (MT) surveys have been completed. The geological mapping has shown that the phyllic shell extends 750 metres to the north of the current resources, indicating the potential for mineralised systems to extend further north than currently drilled. The mapping also showed sheeted D‑type veinlets extending north around 1,000 metres towards Breccia Roja and to the east of the resources. Surface geochemical rock sampling confirmed that Breccia Roja and the area within the phyllic shell have the same geochemical signature as the area of the current resources. This indicates that the area is part of the same intrusive complex, and that the northern extension is likely associated with the same mineralising system as the area of the current resources. A total of 15 line-kilometres of IP / Resistivity and MT data were captured. The data shows good correlation to the current resource model reflecting the central core and intermineral intrusives. The conductive resistivity extends 750 metres to the north of last drill hole in the north, to the east of the current resources and also to the east along the Campamento fault that defines the southern limit of the deposit (see the presentation described below). The geological, geochemical and geophysical results all show the potential of extensions to known mineralisation to the north, east and south-east of the current resource estimate. This new data in conjunction with the historical data will be used to outline drill priorities that will be carried out as part of the Pre-Feasibility Study (“PFS”) drill program. A presentation has been prepared with further details on the geological mapping and geophysics work programs and is available on the Company’s website: https://www.losande...
