Property-Wide Airborne Magnetic & Radiometric Survey Commences at Kobrea's District-Scale Porphyry Cu ± Au ± Mo Project, Mendoza Province, Argentina
Kobrea Exploration Corp. (OTCQB: KBXFF) has initiated a property-wide helicopter-borne magnetic and radiometric survey at their Western Malargüe Copper Projects in Mendoza Province, Argentina. The survey will cover 2,245 line-kilometers across 7 projects spanning 733 km² where the company has rights to earn 100% interest.
The comprehensive geophysical survey aims to better define the porphyry systems at El Perdido and El Destino targets. At El Destino, a 1-kilometer by 3-kilometer hydrothermal alteration system is believed to extend under Pleistocene-aged ignimbrites. The survey will provide insights into the scale, geometry, and intensity of known alteration systems while potentially identifying new porphyry targets.
The magnetic data will help measure rock properties beneath younger cover rock, while radiometric data will highlight potassic alteration distribution and hydrothermally altered rock extents. This marks the first comprehensive geophysical survey of these projects, complementing previous exploration focused on visible hydrothermal alteration footprints.
Kobrea Exploration Corp. (OTCQB: KBXFF) ha avviato un'indagine magnetica e radiometrica aerotrasportata su elicottero su tutta la proprietà dei suoi progetti di rame Western Malargüe nella provincia di Mendoza, Argentina. L'indagine coprirà 2.245 chilometri lineari su 7 progetti che si estendono su 733 km², dove la società ha il diritto di acquisire il 100% degli interessi.
La dettagliata indagine geofisica mira a definire meglio i sistemi porfirici nei target di El Perdido ed El Destino. A El Destino, un sistema di alterazione idrotermale di 1 chilometro per 3 chilometri si ritiene si estenda sotto ignimbriti di età pleistocenica. L'indagine fornirà informazioni sulle dimensioni, la geometria e l'intensità dei sistemi di alterazione noti, potenzialmente individuando anche nuovi obiettivi porfirici.
I dati magnetici aiuteranno a misurare le proprietà delle rocce sotto coperture più recenti, mentre i dati radiometrici evidenzieranno la distribuzione dell'alterazione potassica e l'estensione delle rocce alterate idrotermalmente. Questa è la prima indagine geofisica completa su questi progetti, a complemento delle esplorazioni precedenti focalizzate sulle impronte visibili di alterazione idrotermale.

Este es el primer estudio geofísico integral de estos proyectos, complementando exploraciones previas centradas en las huellas visibles de alteración hidrotermal.
Kobrea Exploration Corp. (OTCQB: KBXFF)는 아르헨티나 멘도사 주의 Western Malargüe 구리 프로젝트 전역에서 헬리콥터 탑재 자기 및 방사선 측정 조사를 시작했습니다. 이 조사는 회사가 100% 지분을 취득할 권리를 가진 7개 프로젝트에 걸쳐 733 km² 면적에 걸쳐 2,245 라인킬로미터를 커버할 예정입니다.
이 종합 지구물리학 조사는 El Perdido와 El Destino 목표지의 포피리 시스템을 더 잘 정의하는 것을 목표로 합니다. El Destino에서는 1km x 3km 크기의 열수 변질 시스템이 플라이스토세 시대의 이그님브라이트 아래까지 확장된 것으로 추정됩니다. 이 조사는 알려진 변질 시스템의 규모, 형태 및 강도에 대한 통찰을 제공하며, 잠재적으로 새로운 포피리 목표지를 식별할 수 있습니다.
자기 데이터는 젊은 피복암 아래 암석 특성을 측정하는 데 도움을 주고, 방사선 데이터는 칼륨 변질 분포와 열수 변질 암석의 범위를 강조할 것입니다. 이는 이전에 육안으로 확인된 열수 변질 흔적 탐사에 더해 이 프로젝트들에 대한 최초의 종합 지구물리학 조사입니다.

Kobrea Exploration Corp. (OTCQB: KBXFF) hat eine hubschrauberbasierte magnetische und radiometrische Vermessung auf dem gesamten Gelände ihrer Western Malargüe Kupferprojekte in der Provinz Mendoza, Argentinien, gestartet. Die Vermessung wird 2.245 Linienkilometer über 7 Projekte mit einer Fläche von 733 km² abdecken, bei denen das Unternehmen das Recht hat, 100 % Beteiligung zu erwerben.
Die umfassende geophysikalische Untersuchung zielt darauf ab, die Porphyrsysteme an den Zielen El Perdido und El Destino besser zu definieren. In El Destino wird angenommen, dass ein 1 Kilometer mal 3 Kilometer großes hydrothermales Alterationssystem unter pleistozänen Ignimbriten liegt. Die Vermessung wird Einblicke in das Ausmaß, die Geometrie und die Intensität bekannter Alterationssysteme geben und möglicherweise neue Porphyrziele identifizieren.
Die magnetischen Daten helfen dabei, Gesteinseigenschaften unter jüngeren Deckgesteinen zu erfassen, während radiometrische Daten die Verteilung der potassischen Alteration und die Ausdehnung hydrothermal veränderter Gesteine hervorheben. Dies ist die erste umfassende geophysikalische Untersuchung dieser Projekte und ergänzt frühere Erkundungen, die sich auf sichtbare Spuren hydrothermaler Alterationen konzentrierten.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 22, 2025) - Kobrea Exploration Corp. (CSE: KBX) (FSE: F3I) (OTCQB: KBXFF) ("Kobrea" or the "Company") announces that a property-wide heli-borne magnetic and radiometric survey has commenced at the Company's Western Malargüe Copper Projects. Kobrea holds the right to earn a
"The results of this airborne geophysical survey will better define the extents of the porphyry systems at El Perdido and El Destino and will be integral to developing additional porphyry targets across this highly prospective, district-scale land package," commented James Hedalen, CEO of Kobrea. "To date historical exploration across the projects has focused on advancing hydrothermal alteration footprints that are readily visible in satellite imagery and on the ground. This first comprehensive geophysical survey of these projects will help to outline structures and alteration effects associated with porphyry systems not visibly apparent as colour anomalies or which are under colluvial cover."

The property-wide, 2,245 line-kilometre magnetic-radiometric heli-borne geophysical survey will provide insight to the scale, geometry and intensity of known alteration systems on the property (Figures 1 & 2) along with potentially outlining additional porphyry targets within the project boundaries. The survey will include coverage of the El Perdido and El Destino porphyry copper-gold targets.
The ground magnetometer survey completed by a previous operator at the El Perdido porphyry copper target covers the core of the system, while the airborne magnetometer data will present a more comprehensive picture of the geology and hydrothermal alteration beyond those limits defined historically. The radiometric data recorded will highlight the surficial distribution of potassic alteration and the extents of hydrothermally altered rock.
At El Destino, a 1-kilometre by 3-kilometre hydrothermal alteration system is suspected to continue under younger Pleistocene-aged ignimbrites to the north and south of the outcropping alteration footprint (Figure 3). The airborne magnetometer will measure the rock properties beneath the younger cover rock to define the greater extent of the hydrothermal alteration footprint. The radiometric data collected will serve to outline additional areas exhibiting potassic alteration beyond those mapped to date.
