/CNW/ -
Libero Copper
& Gold Corporation
(TSXV: LBC)
(OTCQB: LBCMF) (DE: 29H) announces 2021 work programs, including a total of 12,000 metres of
drilling to advance the Big Red, Big Bulk, Esperanza and Mocoa porphyry copper projects.
Highlights
Esperanza, in San Juan,
Argentina
– Surface work is starting immediately followed by
5,000 metres of drilling commencing in April focused on the large 2.0-kilometre by 1.2-
kilometre surface alteration footprint and stepping-out from the discovery hole that
intercepted 387 metres of 0.78% copper equivalent from surface through the end of
hole.
Big Red, in BC's Golden Triangle – Surface mapping, sampling and IP commencing in
June, followed by 5,000 metres of drilling following up the 2020 greenfield porphyry
discovery on the periphery of a greater than one kilometre in diameter porphyry
footprint.
Big Bulk, in BC's Golden Triangle – 2,000 metres of drilling commencing in August to
test interpretations indicating that the target is a much larger calc-alkaline porphyry
system tilted on its side with higher grade mineralization in a discreet mineralized phase
not targeted by historic drilling.
Mocoa, in
Colombia
– Focus on drill permitting, community engagement and creation of
long-term relationships.
"Our 2021 plan is a significant step forward in Libero's strategy of year-round value creation
achieved through drilling in multiple jurisdications while operating with a a future looking mentality. At
both Esperanza and Big Red we are following up on discoveries with significant targets, solid
grades, and mineralization from surface. At Big Bulk we are looking to make a new discovery based
on drilling new interpretations. Finally, we will be leveraging management and local team experience
in developing projects in
Latin America
to ensure sustainable project development to unlock the value
of Mocoa," comments
Ian Harris
, Chief Executive Officer. "We look forward to advancing our project
pipeline of copper porphyry deposits in mining-friendly jurisdictions that have the potential to become
significant future mines."
