Andina Copper Exploration Update

ANDC · Price
Executive Summary
- Andina Copper reports over 2,200 m of diamond drilling completed at the Cobrasco Central target, with three holes intersecting significant copper‑molybdenum mineralization.
- Surface exploration at Cobrasco East has yielded stream sediment Cu values up to 245 ppm and float rock chip Cu grades as high as 0.71 %, indicating additional anomalous zones for follow‑up.
- The company is advancing geophysical work (drone LiDAR, aerial magnetotelluric and ground IP surveys) and expanding sampling programs across the 1,500 ha northern block.

- Additional holes: CDH004 drilled to 900.25 m; CDH005 to ~700‑900 m (planned).
-
Total drilling completed to date (2025‑2026 campaign): ≈2,275 m.
-
Surface Exploration – Cobrasco East
- Stream sediment sampling: 54 samples across 2nd/3rd order streams; Cu up to 245 ppm, Mo up to 1.11 ppm.
-
Rock chip sampling: 10 in‑situ outcrop chips (generally subdued) and float samples with Cu up to 0.71 %.
-
Geophysical & Remote Sensing Work
- Ongoing high‑definition drone LiDAR and aerial photogrammetry survey over the northern 1,500 ha block; second phase planned for southern block.
-
Planned airborne magnetotelluric (AirMT) surveys across the entire concession, complemented by ground induced polarization (IP) surveys targeting identified zones.
-
Future Work
- Follow‑up drilling and sampling of anomalous Cu‑Mo intervals in Cobrasco East.
- Geochronology studies on mineralized breccias to clarify relationship with the Mande Batholith.
Notable Quotes
- “Our comprehensive 2026 exploration programme is rapidly advancing our understanding of the Cobrasco system, and early drilling results are encouraging for the delineation of a major copper deposit.” – Joseph van den Elsen, President & CEO.
