Orestone Las Burras Project Overview and Exploration Plans

VANCOUVER, British Columbia - Oct. 24, 2024 - PRLog -- Orestone Mining Corp. (TSXV: ORS) (Frankfurt: O2R2) ("the Company") is pleased to provide an overview of the Las Burras-Incahuasi project and future exploration plans. The Las Burras-Incahuasi project hosts two large porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum systems located in Salta Province, Argentina approximately 100 kilometres northwest of Salta City. The Las Burras and Incahuasi porphyry systems, which are approximately 3 kilometres apart, have been partially defined by mapping, sampling, trenching, geophysical surveys and very limited drilling. The project has not been adequately tested and no work has been carried out in the area for over 10 years.

The systems were initially defined by induced polarization and magnetic surveys that are characterized by resistivity low-conductivity high values and a co-incident magnetic low which are features typical of large porphyry systems. Additionally, several peripheral vein and stockwork hosted gold occurrences have been mapped which are also typically associated with porphyry systems.

Initial drilling intersected anomalous copper-gold and molybdenum over intervals up to 300 metres and in some cases over the entire drill hole length. These mineralized intercepts assayed from 0.10 to 0.40 percent copper and 0.01 ppm gold which is similar to the intersections on the periphery of large copper porphyries in the area. There has been no follow up drill testing of the potential 1000 to 4000 metre shallow overburden covered extensions to these targets.

Orestone plans to carry out an Airborne Magnetotelluric (MT) survey over an area of 18 square kilometers covering both the Las Burras and Incahuasi porphyry systems. This will more clearly define priority drill targets both near surface and to depth within these large target areas. Orestone has identified and contacted geophysical contractors qualified to carry out the survey in Argentina providing the survey area size and scope of work to be carried out; quotation and scheduling parameters are being discussed.
