Libero Completes Initial Work Program at Big Red in the Golden Triangle
Libero Completes Initial Work Program at Big Red in the Golden Triangle
VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--October 31, 2019--Libero Copper &
Gold Corporation (TSX-V: LBC, OTCQB: LBCMF) is pleased to announce completion of
the initial work program at the Big Red property in the Golden Triangle in British Columbia,
Canada. The work program included reconnaissance prospecting over a large area, continuous
rock chip samples from mineralized outcrop, core drilling and a ZTEM electromagnetic airborne
survey. A five-year area-based exploration permit for geophysics and drilling was received in
September.
Reconnaissance sampling has discovered visually exciting targets at the northern extent of the
Copper Bowl target and at the Terry target, five kilometres to the northeast of Copper Bowl
along the northern edge of the magnetic high.
Libero completed two holes of the planned drill program with a total of 588 metres drilled. Early
onset of severe winter weather conditions prevented the Ridge high grade gold target from being
drilled. Ridge will now be drilled in July 2020. Two holes were drilled in the Copper Bowl
porphyry gold-copper target. From a visual review of the core, mineralisation appears to be
associated with quartz-pyrite and banded carbonate-chlorite veins. Libero will release all results
once received, compiled and interpreted, early in the new year.
The technical information contained in this news release has been reviewed and approved by
Libero’s Executive Vice President of Exploration, Leo Hathaway P.Geo., who is a Qualified
Person as defined under NI 43-101
About the Big Red Porphyry Gold-Copper Property
Big Red comprises 20 contiguous claims totalling 26,000 hectares in northwestern British
Colombia, 45 kilometres southwest of Telegraph Creek along the Glenora Road. Big Red lies
within the Golden Triangle 70 kilometres north of Galore Creek and 100 kilometres west of Red
Chris.
The Golden Triangle is a geological province of prodigious gold and copper mineralisation and
host to some of Canada’s most famous mines, including Premier, Red Chris, Snip, Brucejack and
Eskay Creek. Within the Golden Triangle porphyry copper and gold, epithermal gold and silver
and volcanogenic massive sulfide styles of mineralisation have all been recognised. At Big Red
all three of these styles exist, indicating that a large mineralised system has been preserved from
erosion. The primary porphyry gold-copper targets are peripheral to a distinct large magnetic-
high feature and coincide with a radiometric potassium anomaly, copper, gold and molybdenum
anomalies and a mapped Jurassic aged porphyry intrusion. Please see Libero’s flickr site for

About Libero Copper & Gold
Libero holds a collection of porphyry deposits throughout the Americas in prolific but stable
jurisdictions. The portfolio includes both exploration properties such as Big Red, a new gold
discovery in the Golden Triangle, Canada, and high-quality deposits with significant resources
but without any fatal flaws or significant holding costs. The Tomichi deposit in the United States
and the Mocoa deposit in Colombia, both contain large inferred mineral resources. In total, the
Mocoa and Tomichi properties contain 7.9 billion pounds of copper and 1.1 billion pounds of
molybdenum. These assets are being advanced by a highly disciplined and seasoned professional
team with successful track records of discovery, resource development, and permitting in the
Americas.
