Cambiex exploring Polo Sur property in northern Chile

Results from the Polo Sur copper property in northern Chile have been released by Cambiex Exploration (ME).

More than 20 trenches were excavated along a regional trend of copper mineralization.

The highest grade ran 0.29% copper across 35 metres, while the longest mineralized interval assayed 0.11% across 338 metres.

Many of the trenches also returned gold values, ranging from 0.2 to 0.6 grams per tonne. Cambiex, which is earning a 40% interest, will next perform 5,000 metres of reverse-circulation drilling.

The Polo Sur contains a geological reserve of more than 70 million tonnes averaging 0.68% copper.

Meanwhile at the regional Abancay project in Peru, in which Cambiex can earn a 15% interest, promising results were received from a work program on the Capacmarca property.

Gold and copper mineralization was identified over a distance of more than 5 km. Thirty-two rock chip samples returned an average assay grade of 2.41% copper and 0.3 grams gold.

Trenching and geophysical surveys are planned as a prelude to drilling.
