Sendero Resources Provides Strategic and Exploration Update at the Penas Negras Project, Argentina

Executive Summary
- Sendero Resources announces completion of Phase I (3,126 m core drilling, extensive geophysical work) and outlines a Phase II drill program (~3,600 m) slated for Q1 2026 to test a newly modeled porphyry‑epithermal target in the Vicuña Belt.
- Phase I generated multiple intercepts of gold‑copper mineralization (e.g., 256 m @ 0.53 g/t AuEq, 364 m @ 0.51 g/t AuEq).
- The company has integrated regional datasets into a predictive discovery model that identifies a 3 km × 2 km structurally‑defined target area and supports a pipeline of future exploration targets on its 211 km² land package.
Key Details
- Phase I Summary:
- 3,126 m core drilling in eight holes.
- 715 km airborne magnetics/radiometrics; 10 km² IP lines; 211 km ground magnetics surveys.
-
Results demonstrated both porphyry and epithermal mineralization signatures.
-
Highlighted Intercepts (Phase I):
- Hole PNDH‑001 (La Peña) – 226 m @ 0.22 g/t AuEq from surface*.
- Hole PNDH‑002 (Tamberías) – 168 m @ 0.22 g/t AuEq from surface*.
- Hole PNDH‑003 (La Ollita) – 256 m @ 0.53 g/t AuEq from 84 m*.
- Hole PNDH‑004 (La Ollita) – 266 m @ 0.52 g/t AuEq from 96 m**.
- Hole PNDH‑05 (La Ollita) – 300 m @ 0.36 g/t AuEq from 122 m**.
-
Hole PNDH‑06 (La Ollita) – 364.2 m @ 0.51 g/t AuEq from 33.8 m**.
-
Data Integration & Modeling:
- Consolidated historic and recent geophysical, geochemical, spectral, drilling, trenching, and structural data into an integrated database.
-
Developed a mineral‑systems‑based geological model highlighting a gold‑copper porphyry system with high‑sulfidation epithermal affinities within the Mogotes structural corridor.
-
Phase II (Q1 2026) Plan:
- ~3,600 m of drilling targeting the newly defined 3 km × 2 km tract that exhibits favorable structural, alteration, and geophysical signatures.
-
Objective: advance Peñas Negras toward a discovery capable of redefining the Mogotes corridor.
-
Strategic Context:
- Project sits in central Vicuña Belt, adjacent to world‑class copper‑gold discoveries (Filo del Sol, José María, Lunahuasi).
-
Land package totals 211 km² with additional option to earn 100 % interest on eight adjoining concessions covering 91.7 km².
