Oroco Resource Corp. Reports Phase Two Drilling Results for Santo Tomás Copper Project in Mexico

en.Wedoany.com Reported - Oroco Resource Corp. has released the second set of assay results from its Phase Two resource drilling program at the Santo Tomás copper project in Choix, Sinaloa, Mexico, with drilling targeting the southern zone of the project. Official reports indicate that the intercepts from drill holes S025, S026, S028, and S029 are consistent with the block model in the company's technical report.

Ian Graham, Chairman of Oroco, stated that exploration work continues to confirm a low-investment, promising copper resource, clearly supporting the presence of near-surface or direct surface mineralization. The core objective of Phase Two is to increase the certainty of resources in the southern zone, aiming to develop a mining plan and support a future pre-feasibility study (PFS). The company expects to officially release the study between the second and third quarters of 2027.

The drilling program has shown positive results from multiple holes. Drill hole S025 exhibited stronger mineralization than previous intercepts, including 84.94 meters at 0.29% copper and 90 meters at 0.41% copper. Drill hole S026 intercepted higher-grade material at shallower depths, recording 48.6 meters at 0.56% copper. Drill hole S029, an infill hole, reflected mineralization very close to the surface, with 58.76 meters at 0.35% copper.

To accelerate operations, Oroco has mobilized a third drill rig to the project site. To date, the drilling program has completed 22 holes, totaling 6,709 meters.
