Sendero Resources Commences Drilling at Peñas Negras

Geologically, the property shares similarities with neighboring deposits, particularly the Josemaria copper-gold porphyry system.

Sendero Resources Corp. (TSX: SEND) announced that drilling has commenced at its 100% owned Peñas Negras Project on the Vicuña Belt in La Rioja, Argentina.

Diamond drilling has commenced for an initial program of 4,500m. Four priority drill-ready porphyry/epithermal copper-gold targets have been selected for initial drill testing: La Peña, Tamberías, La Ollita and Cerro Verde South.

Drilling has commenced at La Peña with two planned holes at approximately 500m each. A recent detailed ground magnetic survey at La Peña confirmed the large magnetic anomaly centered on the known porphyry and highlights a satellite magnetic anomaly to the north.

Many of the key geological, geochemical, and geophysical features seen at other deposits in the Vicuña Belt, such as Filo del Sol and Josemaria deposits are replicated in Sendero’s priority drill targets.

Sendero Executive Chairman, Michael Wood, commented: “Drilling has commenced on schedule, and we are very excited to be drilling and now be able to gain a greater understanding of the multiple copper-gold porphyry and epithermal targets we have on the Peñas Negras project. We are starting at La Peña where the ground magnetics has confirmed in more detail the scale of the magnetic anomaly and also the potential for a satellite porphyry intrusive to the North.”
