Three separate iron-copper-gold veins have been traced in outcrops and underground workings for more than 1.2 km. Once the Farellon project is underway, Altiplano says the partnership will begin exploration at the Maria Luisa project, a separate part of the joint venture. Please visit www.AltiplanoMinerals.com.
