ASX Announcement

IP (Induced Polarisation) program currently underway ahead of a second drilling campaign to personalkick off in the new year

4 rigs remain active at Quinchia Gold Project, with a 5th rig expected to commence imminently.

Los Cerros Limited (ASX: LCL) (Los Cerros or the Company) is pleased to report the results of the remainder of the initial scout diamond drilling program at Ceibal (CHDDH03-06), the Company's new porphyry target, located less than 1km from the Tesorito Gold Porphyry discovery, both of which are

part of the Company's 100% owned Quinchia Project in Risaralda - Colombia (Figure 1).

The six hole diamond drilling campaign (Figure 2) was commissioned on the back of encouraging gold, molybdenum and copper surface geochemical anomalism in an area never investigated previously but showing structural characteristics consistent with the Tesorito Gold Porphyry structural model - in particular proximity to the Marmato Fault Corridor and location at the intersection of NW trending faults.

All six drill holes of the Ceibal campaign generated extensive intersections (between 88m and 586m) of porphyry gold mineralisation (0.41g/t - 0.52g/t) in andesites and basalt country rocks cut occasionally by gold-barren diorites, (which are interpreted to have been emplaced after the causative porphyry mineralisation event/pulse). In this context, the assay results bear strong resemblance to the extensive low-grade intercepts in andesite at the Tesorito Gold Porphyry, proximal to the high-grade gold porphyry core, particularly recent assay results from the north2 of this system.

Best intersections of the initial campaign include:

586m @ 0.51g/t Au from surface in CEDDH02 (previously announced)1

  • 120.00m @ 0.71g/t Au from 4m in CEDDH04
  • 88.00m @ 0.51g/t Au from 314m in CEDDH05
  • 252.00m @ 0.41g/t Au from 530m in CEDDH06

Key observations and interpretation from the Ceibal drilling campaign include:

  1. Significant intervals of gold mineralisation was intersected in both andesites and basalts in each of the six holes
  2. The causative intrusive porphyry or related wide intervals of intrusive breccia have not been intersected
  3. Extensive sheeted type veining, observed throughout the drill cores are indicative of being distal to the causative porphyry core. Sheeted veining observed at Ceibal are some of the most intense noted thus far at Quinchia
  4. Vein density measured in drill core (an indicator for relative distance from the causative porphyry) increases towards the north, in the direction of the northern magnetic highs of interest
  5. Core assays also show a similar subtle trend to the north for increasing gold and copper grades.

The extensive gold intercepts at Ceibal are porphyry mineralisation, but the causative porphyry pulse has not yet been intercepted. However, trends in element, mineral and vein density logged from the drill core within the Ceibal porphyry mineralisation suggest the causative porphyry intrusion (porphyry core) is north of the drilled area.

Magnetic susceptibility results generated from a recent drone magnetic survey revealed two northern magnetic highs which could represent the porphyry central zone (Figure 2).

Whilst pathfinder element profiles in drill core vector to the northern magnetic highs, a magnetic high recorded to the SE of Ceibal is also of interest where intrusive breccias with ~3% sulphides (visual log only) outcrop.

The relative location of the three magnetic highs (two magnetic highs to the north of the drilling and one magnetic high to the south of drilling) conform to the regional NW/NNW orientation associated with gold bearing systems throughout the Quinchia project. At Ceibal this lineament orientation extrapolates to the SE to intercept the Company's Chuscal porphyry target (Figure 2).

A deep penetrating IP (Induced Polarisation geophysics) survey is currently underway over the Ceibal and Chuscal areas to provide further guidance for target definition and prioritisation ahead of further drilling in the new year.

Los Cerros Managing Director, Jason Stirbinskis commented:

"Given what we know of Tesorito and how that discovery evolved for us, we are very excited by what the first phase of drilling has shown up at Ceibal.

We believe the area drilled at Ceibal sits within the relatively demagnetised zone of a porphyry, a belief supported by the presence of sheeted veins in the core, which commonly occur on the periphery of porphyries. What we have drilled at Ceibal thus far holds many similarities to the mineralised andesites reported in many drill holes within the outer regions surrounding the Tesorito Gold Porphyry high grade zone. The IP underway will help us define specific drill targets within those broader areas at Ceibal."

Figure 1: The Company's Quinchia Gold Project which includes Ceibal, also hosts the Tesorito Gold Porphyry and other porphyry targets within the roughly N-S Marmato Fault Corridor, a key regional structural control for gold mineralisation. Note the prevailing NW/NNW orientation in second order faults (lineaments), an additional structural control of mineralisation.

The three magnetic highs are targets for follow up drilling. Note the NW/NNW orientation of higher grade gold envelopes and higher magnetic susceptibility, a characteristic of mineralised systems throughout Quinchia and the broader Mid Cauca porphyry belt.
