The leach cap and soil anomaly are located adjacent to a ground magnetic low and are situated near the intersection of a major north-northeast striking fault structure with numerous northwest striking quartz veins with copper oxides. Intersecting major faults is a common, if not essential, structural control for the emplacement of copper-gold porphyries in the region (Figure 1).\n \n\n The presence of strongly anomalous copper in soil on the flanks of the leach cap is an important positive indicator supporting the potential for a mineralized porphyry deposit at the Cuprita project. The highest copper in soils values identified to date occur southeast of the outcropping leach cap (Figure 1). Much of the soil anomaly exhibits soil values more 300% above the expected background levels of the area. In addition, the leach cap and soils anomaly are coincidental with a ground magnetic low which is a common indicator associated with mineralized systems in the region, where hydrothermal processes have replaced the magnetic minerals.\n \n\n The presence of a leach cap at Cuprita is exceptionally encouraging in a regional context. Leach caps are a key feature of intact porphyry systems in this region (Figure 2, Conceptual Model). Recirculation of acidic fluids from the buried porphyry below often leave a bleached or iron oxide “rusty” appearance on surface. The leach cap identified by Nobel geologists exhibits classic hydrothermal alteration similar to that found above a buried porphyry. The presence of copper oxides, quartz veins and remanent sulfides indicates potential for mineralization under the leach cap, which fits the classic geological model for the region.\n \n\n Geological mapping has also identified a large area of tourmaline breccias covering much of the target, also considered an additional favorable pathfinder, ch...
