Kobrea Commences Exploration at Western Malargüe Copper Projects - Mendoza Province, Argentina
Kobrea Exploration Corp. (OTCQB: KBXFF) has initiated its 2025 exploration program at the Western Malargüe Copper Projects in Argentina's Mendoza Province. The company has mobilized field crews to explore multiple porphyry prospects across their 733 km² property, where they hold rights to earn 100% interest in 7 projects.
The exploration program will begin with geological mapping, rock chip sampling, and talus sampling, followed by geophysical surveys. A key focus is the El Perdido prospect, a 6,878-hectare area featuring a porphyry Cu-Au-Mo system with a 2x3 kilometer hydrothermal alteration footprint. This prospect has never been drilled despite showing promising characteristics including quartz stockwork veining and anomalous copper-gold-molybdenum rock geochemistry.
Two of Kobrea's projects, El Perdido and Elena, have received environmental approval for mineral exploration activities, including drilling, as part of the Western Malargüe Mining District initiative.
Kobrea Exploration Corp. (OTCQB: KBXFF) ha avviato il suo programma di esplorazione per il 2025 nei progetti di rame di Western Malargüe nella provincia di Mendoza, in Argentina. L'azienda ha mobilitato squadre sul campo per esplorare diversi potenziali porfirici all'interno della loro proprietà di 733 km², dove detengono i diritti per acquisire il 100% di interesse in 7 progetti.
Il programma di esplorazione inizierà con mappatura geologica, campionamento di rocce e campionamento di talus, seguito da indagini geofisiche. Un obiettivo chiave è il prospetto El Perdido, un'area di 6.878 ettari che presenta un sistema porfirico Cu-Au-Mo con un'area di alterazione idrotermale di 2x3 chilometri. Questo prospetto non è mai stato perforato, nonostante mostri caratteristiche promettenti, tra cui venature di stockwork in quarzo e geochimica anomala di rame-oro-molibdeno delle rocce.
Due dei progetti di Kobrea, El Perdido ed Elena, hanno ricevuto l'approvazione ambientale per le attività di esplorazione mineraria, inclusa la perforazione, nell'ambito dell'iniziativa del Distretto Minerario di Western Malargüe.

Kobrea Exploration Corp. (OTCQB: KBXFF)는 아르헨티나 멘도사주에 있는 Western Malargüe 구리 프로젝트에서 2025년 탐사 프로그램을 시작했습니다. 회사는 733 평방킬로미터의 부지에서 여러 포피리 전망을 탐사하기 위해 현장 팀을 배치했습니다. 이들은 7개의 프로젝트에서 100%의 지분을 획득할 수 있는 권리를 보유하고 있습니다.
탐사 프로그램은 지질 지도 제작, 암석 조각 샘플링, 및 타루스 샘플링으로 시작하며, 이후 지구물리학적 조사가 이어질 것입니다. 주요 초점은 El Perdido 전망으로, 6,878헥타르의 면적에 Cu-Au-Mo 시스템을 가진 2x3킬로미터의 수열변화 영역이 있습니다. 이 전망은 석영 스톡워크 베인 및 비정상적인 구리-금-몰리브데넘 암석화학을 포함한 유망한 특성을 보이는데도 불구하고 한 번도 시추되지 않았습니다.
Kobrea의 두 프로젝트인 El Perdido와 Elena는 Western Malargüe 광산 지구 이니셔티브의 일환으로 시추를 포함한 광물 탐사 활동에 대한 환경 승인을 받았습니다.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 8, 2025) - Kobrea Exploration Corp. (CSE: KBX) (FSE: F3I) (OTCQB: KBXFF) ("Kobrea" or the "Company") announces that field crews have been mobilized to commence the 2025 exploration program at multiple porphyry prospects on the Company's Western Malargüe Copper Projects. Kobrea holds the right to earn a
"We are first movers into the newly established Western Malargüe Mining District in Mendoza Province, Argentina, and have an opportunity to make discoveries by drilling for the first time in this part of a world-class porphyry copper belt. Host to numerous Tier 1 porphyry copper deposits the Neogene Porphyry Belt includes Los Bronces/Rio Blanco and El Teniente," commented James Hedalen, CEO. "The inaugural program will include geological mapping and geochemical sampling of multiple porphyry copper systems along with geophysical surveys which will culminate with the first ever drill program on these projects."
Initial exploration activities comprising geological mapping, rock chip sampling and talus sampling will be followed up by geophysical survey in the coming months. In the case of the El Perdido prospect, the Company intends to follow-up initial exploration activities completed by previous operators with diamond drilling later in the season. The results of historical exploration completed on the El Perdido prospect have outlined a sizable porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum target that has not seen drill testing of any kind.

El Perdido Prospect
The 6,878-hectare El Perdido prospect is host to a porphyry Cu-Au-Mo system that has been defined at surface but has not seen any drilling to date. The porphyry target is characterized as a 2 x 3-kilometre hydrothermal alteration footprint exhibiting classic porphyry alteration assemblages with localized potassic alteration coming to surface (Figure 1). A 900 x 500-metre area of quartz stockwork veining coincides with anomalous copper-gold-molybdenum rock geochemistry, mapped quartz diorite porphyritic intrusions, localized biotite breccias and potassic alteration in an area that is otherwise dominated by phyllic alteration. Interpretation of ground magnetometer data collected in 2013 outlines a subsurface magnetic anomaly measuring roughly 1,000 metres across and extending 1,000 metres to depth that is surrounded by a decreased magnetic signature, representing an attractive geophysical target in the context of porphyry Cu-Au-Mo exploration.
Western Malargüe Mining District
The Western Malargüe Mining District (WMMD) is a tool developed by the government of Mendoza through Impulsa Mendoza SA to respond to the challenge that the energy transition represents for the world. Detailed environmental impact studies over the entire WMMD area were completed as well as studies of geological and infrastructure potential to shorten the times required for the exploration of mining projects.
On November 12, 2024, environmental impact statements for 34 projects were ratified in the provincial legislature, allowing for the exploration and development of 34 mining projects in the department of Malargüe, and as part of this approval, two of Kobrea's projects, El Perdido and Elena, have been approved for mineral exploration activities, including drilling. The approval of the first 34 projects came after an extensive process of public hearings, citizen participation and technical analysis. Over the course of the next few months, more projects, including the remaining projects held by Kobrea in the WMMD, will undergo the same approval process.
Marketing Agreement
Kobrea also announces that it has extended the term of its marketing agreement with MIC Market Information & Content Publishing GmbH ("MIC"). Under the terms of the extension, MIC will continue to provide marketing services to the Company for an additional 12-month period, and the Company will pay an additional EUR200,000 to MIC. Please refer to the Company's news release dated April 18, 2024 for more information about MIC and its services.
