Tribeca Resources Defines Priority Drill Targets Across Large-Scale Porphyry-Epithermal System at Jiguata, Chile
Tribeca defines drill targets at Jiguata and begins community engagement for its maiden drilling program at the project.
Tribeca Resources Corporation (TRBC) has identified multiple high-priority conceptual drill targets at its Jiguata Project in northern Chile, specifically at La Soberana and Cetro Dorado. This definition relies on integrated 2026 geological, geochemical, and geophysical data, which includes soil samples, rock chips, hyperspectral analysis, magnetic surveying, and reprocessed IP and MT data.
The company identified four alteration centers: La Soberana (porphyry/epithermal), Cetro Dorado (lithocap-style), El Trono (advanced argillic), and Escudo Real (advanced argillic/porphyry). Tribeca has commenced community engagement in preparation for Phase 1 drill testing. Initial drilling is planned to commence at La Soberana, utilizing hole depths exceeding 700m at elevations of approximately 4600m. QA/QC protocols are in place with ALS Patagonia for assays and GlobalOre Advisory for spectral analysis.
Tribeca Resources Corporation’s latest announcement marks a logical progression from its July 2026 pre-drilling update, which initially identified La Soberana and Cetro Dorado as primary targets.
The company’s focus on community engagement represents a positive operational step for permitting in Chile, but the targets remain conceptual until tested by drilling. The market impact is expected to be neutral to slightly positive, as the news confirms management's exploration thesis but lacks the definitive drill results or capital raise needed to move the stock materially.
Tribeca Resources Corporation (TRBC) is a copper exploration company focused on northern Chile. Its flagship asset is the La Higuera Iron Oxide Copper-Gold (IOCG) Project, which includes the Gaby discovery. Approximately 10,000 meters of historical drilling have been completed, with mineralization defined over a 1.4 km strike length.
The company also holds other assets, including Jiguata, a porphyry/high sulphidation copper deposit, and Chiricuto, a porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum deposit, both held under purchase option agreements. Management is led by CEO Dr. Paul Gow, a Qualified Person with a track record in discovery.
