Executive Summary

  • PPX Mining Corp. has engaged Dr. Warren Pratt and Specialized Geological Mapping Ltd. to assist with the structural interpretation of the Igor project and review historical and recent drilling results.
  • The engagement aims to refine the structural model to identify and expand high-grade mineralization zones, leveraging Dr. Pratt’s prior work on the Callanquitas breccia zones.
  • The release highlights significant historical high-grade intercepts, including hole CA-25-24 intersecting 49.5 g/t gold and hole CA-24-07 intersecting 33.08 g/t gold, to support the potential for continued exploration success.

Key Details

  • Engagement: PPX Mining engaged Specialized Geological Mapping Ltd., led by Dr. Warren Pratt, for structural geology interpretation and drilling result review at the Igor project.
  • Strategic Goal: To achieve a comprehensive understanding of geological structures controlling mineralization to facilitate the expansion of high-grade zones.
  • Historical High-Grade Intercepts Cited:
    • Hole CA-24-07: 33.08 g/t gold, 8,174.2 g/t silver, and 13.1% copper.
    • Hole CA-25-24: 49.5 g/t gold, 11,597.1 g/t silver, and 11.1% copper.
  • Dr. Pratt’s Background:
    • Instrumental in identifying Callanquitas breccia zones as priority targets at Igor.
    • Previously contributed to the initial exploration of the Igor project.
    • Discovery of the Canicaoa project in Ecuador (World Bank initiative).
    • Work on the Navidad project in Argentina and Ventana project in Colombia.
  • Technical Review: All scientific and technical information was reviewed and approved by Eddy Canova, PGeo, an external consulting geologist and qualified person under NI 43-101.
