COPAQUIRE MEGA-MOLYBDENUM TARGET TO BE DRILLED
The company has issued tenders for a 2500 metre drill program to commence as soon as possible to confirm and extend previous work by major companies and test induced polarization anomalies obtained by International PBX on this property. The 1,433-hectare Copaquire property is located 20 kilometres west of the mega-copper-molybdenum Collahuasi mine but at lower elevations (3,500 to 3,900 metres) and workable year-round. The company has the option to earn a 100-per-cent interest in the property over a four-year period.
Current molybdenum prices of over $US 30.00 per pound makes this an enormously exciting project for the company as previous drilling and surface sampling indicate the presence of widespread Mo values of between 0.1 to 0.2 per cent or, in other words, between 2.2 and 4.4 pounds Mo per tonne. Based on previous sampling and drilling and induced polarization work carried out this year, the target size is estimated to be in the range of 0.5 to 1.3 billion tonnes ( see news release of October 18, 2004).
