[{"type":"text","content":"Sendero Resources Reports Final Analytical Results From 2024 Diamond Drilling Campaign at The Peñas Negras Project in The Vicuña District, La Rioja ArgentinaVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / October 10, 2024 / Sendero Resources Corp. (TSXV:SEND) (\"Sendero\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce results of the last two diamond drillholes from its maiden drilling program at its 100% owned Peñas Negras Project in the Vicuña District in La Rioja, Argentina.HighlightsPNDH007 (La Ollita) intersected porphyritic diorite with pervasive quartz-sericite-chlorite alteration. Hole abandoned at 95 m in-hole depth due to intense fracturing which precluded continuation of drilling. No significant assay results.PNDH008 (La Ollita) intersected andesite and diorite porphyry with pervasive propylitic and phyllic alteration. Analytical results indicate geochemically anomalous Au and Ag from surface to approximately 20 m in-hole depth, corresponding with argillic alteration. Copper is geochemically anomalous below the contact between argillic alteration and underlying phyllic alteration.About the ProjectThe Vicuña is a Miocene metallogenic belt in the southern Cordillera which links the prolific El Indio and the Maricunga Belt. Both porphyry (Cu-Au-Ag-Mo) and epithermal (Cu-Au-Ag) styles of mineralization are known at large scale (>550Kt Cu, 40t Au), including Filo del Sol (Filo Mining, TSE:FIL), Josemaria (Lundin, TSE:LUN), and Los Helados (NGEX, TSE:NGEX), and Caserones (Lundin) in the vicinity.The Peñas Negras project comprises 120km2 mineral claims in the Vicuña Belt, where previous work has outlined several Cu and Au anomalous showings and prospects. Exploration work by Sendero included airborne magnetics and gamma spectrometer survey, IP/Resistivity, soil geochemistry, geological mapping, which culminated in a 3126 m diamond drilling programme in eight holes testing 3 target areas.Analytical results from drill holes PNDH001 to PNDH006 have been previously disclosed in press releases 03 April 2024 and 1 May 2024.
