presence of high grade copper in Argentina. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/news\/discover-gold-silver-and-copper-in-argentina\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">high grade copper in Argentina.<\/a><\/strong>.\nThe campaign, which reached more than 70,000 meters depth, has been crucial to improve the classification of the available resources and validate the previously established geological model.\nIn addition, it has extended knowledge of the mineralization in the supergene enrichment zone, both at the edges and at depth.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Breakthrough at Los Azules: High grade copper in Argentina<\/h2>\n\n<p>Specifically, the results obtained from drilling have been promising.\nFor example, <strong>hole AZ24375 <\/strong>reached a depth of 369 meters, showing a rich vein of 217 meters with a concentration of 1.11% copper, including a 100 meter section with 1.32% copper. <\/p>\n\n<p>Other holes, such as <strong>AZ24335 <\/strong>and <strong>AZ24403<\/strong>, also reported significant enriched copper intersections, highlighting the consistency and extent of mineralization in the region.<\/p>\n\n<p>This series of drill holes has not only strengthened the understanding of the subsurface at Los Azules, but has also completed the data collection phase necessary for the feasibility study of the site, scheduled to be delivered in early 2025.\nThis study promises to be a decisive step towards the effective exploitation of the <strong><a

<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key operations at Los Azules<\/h2>\n\n<p>Drilling operations also <strong>included geotechnical, metallurgical and hydrogeological work<\/strong>, along with expropriation work.\nThese activities are essential to ensure that all aspects of the project are handled with the utmost precision and care, respecting both the environment and technical and legal requirements. <\/p>\n\n<p>Drilling efforts at <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.camarco.org.ar\/2023\/11\/29\/los-azules-avanza-uno-de-los-proyectos-de-cobre-mas-grandes-del-mundo\/\" data-type=\"link\"
