en.Wedoany.com Reported - Centenario Gold Corp. has announced the completion of the first phase of its exploration program at the Los Reyes copper-gold project in Chihuahua, Mexico. This marks the first modern systematic sampling effort conducted in the underground areas of the mining district.

This phase focused on field review and verification of geological and exploration data previously submitted by IMMSA (1992) and Valterra Resources Corporation (2019). Fieldwork included systematic mapping and sampling of surface pits, waste dumps, and underground workings along the intrusive-limestone contact zone, which hosts copper-rich skarn structures.

Most of the underground workings inspected were constructed by ASARCO between the late 19th and early 20th centuries. According to government records, approximately 200,000 tonnes of ore containing copper, zinc, and silver were extracted during that period of operation.

The Los Reyes project consists of two mining concessions, El Rey (36.0 hectares) and El Rey 2 (9.3 hectares), covering portions of the mineralized intrusive-sedimentary contact zone. El Rey, located to the east, hosts some of the district's most significant old workings. The project benefits from convenient logistics, situated along Highway 49 connecting Chihuahua City to Torreón and Monterrey, 225 km south of the state capital and just 14 km from the town of Jiménez, accessible via secondary dirt roads. Industrias Peñoles controls adjacent properties surrounding the local granodiorite intrusion.
