DLP Resources Announces Receipt of the Environmental Permit for Thirty Drill Sites on the
Aurora Porphyry Copper-Molybdenum Project, Peru
&
Stakes 4600 Ha in the Paleocene Porphyry Copper Belt of Southern Peru
Cranbrook, British Columbia, (Newsfile Corp. – May 17, 2022) DLP Resources Inc. (“DLP” or the
“Company”) (TSXV:DLP) (OTCQB:DLPRF) is pleased to announce that it has received the permit for the
environmental assessment study submitted for thirty drill sites on the Aurora Project. Receipt of this
permit now allows DLP to finalize preparation of drill sites and commence drilling once the water usage
permit is received within the next month.
During the past three months DLP has been actively looking for new copper opportunities in southern
Peru and has claimed 4600 hectares in a very prospective part of the Paleocene porphyry copper belt
which hosts the major porphyry copper mines in Peru (Figure 1). The new Esperanza project is located
~35km SW of the Cerro Verde Mine in Arequipa, and less than 10km south of E29’s – Flor de Cobre
Project and 10km NE of the Arikepay porphyry copper-gold project of Candente. Copper oxide
mineralization and ferrimolybdite (hydrous iron molybdate mineral) were discovered in outcropping
andesitic rocks on the Esperanza property and further mapping and sampling will commence (Figure
2).
Ian Gendall, President & CEO of DLP commented: “We are extremely grateful for the dedicated effort
of our Peruvian team and Environmental Consultants who have facilitated the smooth transition from
application to permit issuance by the Government Authorities within three months of its application.
DLP has a good working relationship with the Parobamba community, and we look forward to working
together in exploring the copper-molybdenum potential at Aurora.
The new Esperanza Project was surprisingly on open ground in the very prospective porphyry copper
belt of southern Peru and visual indications of both copper and molybdenum mineralization during a
reconnaissance visit was extremely encouraging. We look forward to exploring the ground in more
detail over the coming months”.
