Kobrea Exploration Corp. has begun its 2025 exploration program at its Western Malargüe Copper Projects in Mendoza, Argentina, with plans for drilling at multiple copper sites, including the promising El Perdido prospect. The company aims to earn 100% control of seven projects, benefiting from recent mining approvals in the area. An enhanced marketing agreement with MIC is also established to support promotional efforts.
Kobrea Exploration Corp. has initiated its 2025 exploration program at various porphyry prospects within its Western Malargüe Copper Projects in Mendoza, Argentina. The company aims to earn a 100% interest in seven projects spanning over 733 km². This effort marks the first drilling activity in the newly designated Western Malargüe Mining District, known for its world-class porphyry copper deposits.
According to CEO James Hedalen, this inaugural program will involve geological mapping, geochemical sampling, and geophysical surveys, ultimately leading to the first drilling operations on the projects. The El Perdido prospect is particularly promising, having shown significant potential for copper-gold-molybdenum targets without any prior drilling.
The El Perdido prospect encompasses 6,878 hectares and presents a substantial porphyry Cu-Au-Mo system with a defined hydrothermal alteration footprint. Significant geochemical indicators identified at the site support its potential, along with a magnetic anomaly detected in previous surveys that suggests a robust subsurface target for further exploration.
The Western Malargüe Mining District was developed by the Mendoza government to enhance mining exploration efficiency in light of environmental considerations. Environmental impacts for 34 projects were approved recently, including Kobrea’s El Perdido and Elena projects, enabling them to commence mineral exploration activities.
Kobrea has also renewed its marketing agreement with MIC Market Information & Content Publishing GmbH for an additional year, expanding its promotional efforts while compensating MIC with €200,000. The news release underscores the company’s commitment to advancing its projects while engaging the necessary stakeholders and adhering to regulatory standards, with all technical details approved by qualified personnel.
Kobrea Exploration Corp. focuses on acquiring and developing base metal projects, holding a total of seven projects in Mendoza known for their exploration potential in porphyry copper and copper-gold deposits. Additionally, the company has interests in the Upland Copper Project in British Columbia, showcasing its diverse portfolio.
For comprehensive financial information and updates, Kobrea advises stakeholders to refer to their official documentation available on SEDAR.
Kobrea’s exploration initiatives in the Western Malargüe Mining District signify a strategic move to capitalize on the region’s rich mineral potential. The emphasis on rigorous geological and geophysical assessments, along with the alignment with local government regulations, positions the company favorably for future discoveries. Continuous monitoring and rigorous stakeholder engagement will be crucial for success in the upcoming exploration phases.
