The project is located in the coastal iron-ore-copper-gold belt that hosts several large deposit. Development has begun on cross-cuts to reach the copper-gold vein system. Three are three discreet veins – Farellon, Laura and Rosario – that strike northeast for more than 1.2 km. The veins are reached via a 500-metre exploration drift. Farellon is the initial target. Bulk sampling is underway, but a maiden resource estimate has yet to be made. View the photo gallery from Farellon at www.AltiplanoMinerals.com.
