Kobrea Discovers Large Hydrothermal Breccia Body in Cuprum Trend - Western Malargue Mining District - Mendoza Province, Argentina

KBX · Price

Executive Summary

  • Kobrea Exploration Corp. announced the discovery of a large (1,250 m × 500 m) hydrothermal breccia body at Target KBX‑17 within its Western Malargüe Copper Projects in Mendoza Province, Argentina.
  • Geochemical sampling shows anomalous copper values up to 1.6 % Cu in host diorite and 161–408 ppm Cu within the breccia, with additional smaller breccias (300 m × 150 m) grading up to 223 ppm Cu.
  • The company plans an Induced Polarization (IP) survey to test for a deeper porphyry system and will continue systematic geological mapping and sampling across the property.

Key Details

  • Target KBX‑17 location: 8 km from existing road; first identified March 2025 via colour anomaly on a 4×4 road.
  • Breccia dimensions: 1,250 m (length) × 500 m (width); cemented by iron oxides and locally massive pyrite.
  • Copper anomalies:
  • Breccia samples: 161–408 ppm Cu.
  • Adjacent diorite host rock: up to 1.6 % Cu.
  • Smaller magnetite‑cemented breccia (300 m × 150 m): up to 223 ppm Cu.
  • Geology: Breccia intrudes a 4 km × 2 km equigranular diorite stock showing propylitic alteration; the diorite cuts upper Jurassic Tordillo Formation sediments.
  • Exploration program to date:
  • Detailed geological mapping and rock‑chip sampling completed Dec 2025.
  • QA/QC performed by Alex Stewart International (ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited).
  • Future work: Planned Induced Polarization survey over KBX‑17; continued systematic mapping, geochemical sampling, and drilling at El Destino porphyry Cu‑Au prospect and other targets across the Western Malargüe Copper Projects.
  • Qualified Person: Rory Ritchie, P.Geo., VP – Exploration & Director (NI 43‑101).

Notable Quotes

“Our team has identified, mapped and sampled a previously unknown 1,250 metre by 500 metre hydrothermal breccia at Target KBX‑17… This result highlights the exploration upside across this exceptional land package and validates our exploration thesis.” – James Hedalen, CEO & Director
