Pampa Metals Finalizes Follow-Up Diamond Drill Program at the Piuquenes Copper-Gold Porphyry Project

Pampa Metals Corp. (‘Pampa Metals’ or the ‘Company’) (CSE:PM)(FSE:FIRA)(OTCQB®:PMMCF) is pleased to advise that it has finalized the follow-up diamond drill program designed to demonstrate Piuquenes Central’s potential to host an orebody of 1,000 m depth and 300 – 500 m diameter

Follow-Up Diamond Drill Program

Following the optioning of the Piuquenes Porphyry Copper-Gold Project (refer 30 November 2023 News Release), on-site preparatory works for a ~2,500m follow-up diamond drill program to test the depth and lateral extension of known mineralization at Piuquenes Central began on 20 December 2023.

This follow-up program of up to 4 drill holes, including two priority drillholes of ~850 – 900 m depth, will commence in mid-January 2024 and is summarized as follows:
• Hole 1 (REC-01) (refer figure 1) is orientated along a northeast-southwest geological section, proximate to the historical P8A (Inmet) and PIU16-DDH01 (Anglo) drillholes and designed to extend the depth of known mineralization at the southwestern edge of Piuquenes Central porphyry.
• Hole 2 (REC-02) (refer figure 2) is orientated along an east-west section, proximate to the historical P4 and P2 drillholes (Inmet) and designed to test the lateral extension of the mineralized body, primarily along the western edge of the Piuquenes Central porphyry.
• A 3rd and possibly a 4th hole will focus on extending known depth to the northeast and southeast edges of the Piuquenes Central mineral body and seek to validate a potential mineral column of 1,000 m depth and 300 – 500 m diameter.

Joseph van den Elsen, the Company’s President and CEO, stated: ‘We are very pleased to have been able to swiftly identify and secure the Piuquenes copper-gold porphyry project and immediately mobilize on the first of an aggressive, multi-campaign exploration program testing its exceptional potential. We look forward to driving significant shareholder value over the short, medium, and long-term as we first test the depth and lateral extension of the reported high-grade intervals of open mineralization (558.2 m @ 0.38% Cu, 0.42 g/t Au & 2.4 g/t Ag (0.73% CuEq)* incl. 130 m @ 0.81% Cu, 0.6 g/t Au & 4 g/t Ag (1.31 % CuEq)* – refer 5 December 2023 News Release) at Piuquenes Central, and thereafter Piuquenes East and other targets from our growing pipeline.’
