Canadian company Max Resource has initiated a detailed LiDAR remote sensing program over its entire Mora mining concession, located in the prolific Middle Cauca Gold Belt, 85 km south of Medellin. This airborne laser aerial laser scanning will cover the 700 hectares of the property, with the objective of generating a highly accurate three-dimensional model that will allow fine-tuning the design of the future drilling campaign.
LiDAR remote sensing to identify geological structures
The LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) system will provide high-resolution topographic data, essential for mapping key structures such as veins, faults and hydrothermal alteration zones. The technology makes it possible to observe geological details even under dense vegetation cover, making it ideal for mountainous terrain such as the Middle Cauca.
Historically, over 40 subway workings have been recorded on the Mora property, including five active mines. To date, Max has mapped nine inactive mines and has conducted channel sampling in drifts that have yielded significant results in gold and silver. This data, integrated into the 3D model, will be used to establish drill targets in zones such as BX, BQ and NAN.
The property Mora property is bordered to the east by Aris Mining’s Marmato operation and shares boundaries with Collective Mining’s Guayabales project. Both deposits have been reference points for Max’s technical team, which includes professionals with previous experience at Buriticá, another important gold deposit. Colombian gold deposit. Colombian gold deposit.
Preparations for first drilling program
This geospatial survey marks a key step in Max’s 2025 exploration program, which includes initial drilling on concession KK6-08031. At the same time, the company continues with its plan to fully acquire Inversiones Villamora SAS, holder of the mining right, strengthening its presence in the metalliferous corridor of southwest Colombia.
With this technology integration, Max seeks to optimize the location of its exploration drill holes and reduce geological uncertainty, thereby increasing the likelihood of discovery in a region that already hosts some of the world’s largest gold deposits. gold deposits deposits in the country.
