Kobrea Provides Exploration Update at Western Malargüe Copper Projects - Mendoza Province, Argentina
Kobrea Exploration Corp (OTCQB: KBXFF) has provided an update on its Western Malargüe Copper Projects in Argentina's Mendoza Province. The company has identified significant hydrothermal breccia formations at multiple sites, with the most notable discovery at El Perdido spanning 1,700m x 250m.
Key developments include:
- Diamond drill hole locations determined at El Perdido
- Preparations for drill access road construction underway
- Multiple varieties of hydrothermal breccias observed, including late-mineral breccias with A-veined clasts and inter-mineral breccias
- Potential for preserved supergene enrichment horizon identified
The presence of these breccias is particularly significant as they are characteristic of major copper deposits in the Late Miocene - Early Pliocene porphyry belt, including world-class deposits like El Teniente and Los Bronces.
Kobrea Exploration Corp (OTCQB: KBXFF) ha fornito un aggiornamento sui suoi progetti di rame Western Malargüe nella provincia di Mendoza, Argentina. L'azienda ha identificato significative formazioni di breccia idrotermale in diversi siti, con la scoperta più notevole a El Perdido che si estende per 1.700m x 250m.

Kobrea Exploration Corp (OTCQB: KBXFF)는 아르헨티나 멘도사주에 있는 Western Malargüe 구리 프로젝트에 대한 업데이트를 제공했습니다. 이 회사는 여러 사이트에서 중요한 열수 breccia 형성을 확인했으며, 가장 주목할 만한 발견은 El Perdido에서 1,700m x 250m에 걸쳐 있습니다.
주요 개발 사항은 다음과 같습니다:
- El Perdido에서 다이아몬드 드릴 홀 위치가 결정됨
- 드릴 접근 도로 건설 준비가 진행 중
- A-맥이 있는 클라스트와 광물 간 breccia를 포함하여 여러 종류의 열수 breccia가 관찰됨
- 보존된 초광물 부유 지평선의 잠재력이 확인됨
이러한 breccia의 존재는 특히 중요한데, 이는 후기 마이오세 - 초기 플라이오세 포르피리 벨트의 주요 구리 매장지의 특징이며, El Teniente 및 Los Bronces와 같은 세계적 수준의 매장지가 포함됩니다.
Kobrea Exploration Corp (OTCQB: KBXFF) a fourni une mise à jour sur ses projets de cuivre Western Malargüe dans la province de Mendoza, en Argentine. L'entreprise a identifié des formations de brèches hydrothermales significatives sur plusieurs sites, la découverte la plus notable étant à El Perdido, s'étendant sur 1 700 m x 250 m.
Les développements clés incluent:
- Emplacements des forages à diamant déterminés à El Perdido
- Préparatifs en cours pour la construction de la route d'accès au forage
- Plusieurs variétés de brèches hydrothermales observées, y compris des brèches tardives-minérales avec des clastes veinés A et des brèches inter-minérales
- Potentiel pour un horizon d'enrichissement supergène préservé identifié
La présence de ces brèches est particulièrement significative car elles sont caractéristiques des grands dépôts de cuivre dans la ceinture porphyrique du Miocène tardif - Pliocène précoce, y compris des dépôts de classe mondiale comme El Teniente et Los Bronces.
Kobrea Exploration Corp (OTCQB: KBXFF) hat ein Update zu seinen Western Malargüe Kupferprojekten in der Provinz Mendoza, Argentinien, bereitgestellt. Das Unternehmen hat an mehreren Standorten bedeutende hydrothermale Brekzienbildungen identifiziert, wobei die bemerkenswerteste Entdeckung in El Perdido eine Fläche von 1.700m x 250m umfasst.
Wichtige Entwicklungen umfassen:
- Standorte für Diamantbohrlöcher in El Perdido bestimmt
- Vorbereitungen für den Bau der Zugangsstraße zur Bohrung laufen
- Mehrere Arten von hydrothermalen Brekzien beobachtet, einschließlich spät-mineralischer Brekzien mit A-gefüllten Klasten und inter-mineralischen Brekzien
- Potenzial für einen erhaltenen Supergene-Anreicherungshorizont identifiziert
Die Präsenz dieser Brekzien ist besonders bedeutend, da sie charakteristisch für große Kupferlagerstätten im späten Miozän - frühen Pliozän Porphyrgürtel sind, einschließlich weltklasse Lagerstätten wie El Teniente und Los Bronces.
- Large hydrothermal breccia system discovered (1,700m x 250m)
- Multiple indicators of copper mineralization identified
- Projects located in same belt as world-class copper deposits
- Drilling locations determined and preparations advancing
- High degree of surface leaching present
- Thickness of potential mineralization unknown
- No drilling or assay results yet available

Highlights
Diamond drill hole locations have been determined at El Perdido
Preparations are underway to construct a drill access road at El Perdido
1,700 m x 250 m hydrothermal breccia identified at El Perdido
Hydrothermal breccias identified at several other porphyry copper prospects
Field crews have been conducting geological mapping and rock chip sampling on multiple porphyry prospects with a focus on El Perdido. At El Perdido, Kobrea geologists have mapped previously unidentified hydrothermal breccias covering an area of 1,700 metres by 250 metres which trends north-northwest and cuts through the interpreted center (Figure 1 & 2) of the porphyry copper system at El Perdido where A-veined clasts within hydrothermal breccia are observed (Figure 3). Different varieties of hydrothermal breccias have been observed at El Perdido including late-mineral breccias with A-veined clasts, inter-mineral breccias with stockwork veining, biotite-magnetite breccias with chalcopyrite and pyrite-matrix breccias. Despite a high degree of leaching at surface, preserved chalcocite veinlets and disseminations observed in outcrop and in float indicate the potential for a preserved supergene enrichment horizon of unknown thickness. The Company has determined drill site locations and is currently preparing to construct a drill access road.

The presence of hydrothermal breccias at porphyry prospects on the Projects is significant as hydrothermal breccias, both mineralized and unmineralized, make up significant portions of the mineral systems within the Late Miocene - Early Pliocene porphyry belt which includes the world-class El Teniente, Los Bronces - Rio Blanco and Los Pelambres copper deposits. Field investigations in 2025 have identified hydrothermal breccias at the El Perdido, Cajon Chico and Las Cargas prospects (Figure 4) while hydrothermal breccias have been reported by previous operators at the Mantos de Cobre and El Destino projects.
Crews continue to evaluate porphyry prospects across the greater land package with mapping and sampling activities as they move southwards towards the El Destino project. The Company is focused on diamond drilling at the El Perdido prospect as soon as possible.
