| Thursday, November 01, 2007 Drill Program Update on Cocha Copper-Silver Project, Peru
|
|
Amera Resources Corporation (AMS-TSX.V; AJRSF-OTC; OAY-Frankfurt) is pleased to provide an update of the drilling and exploration activities ongoing on the Cocha sediment-hosted copper-silver project in Junin Department, Peru. To date, seven holes have been completed for a total of over 1,000 metres, out of the 2,000m diamond drill program that is currently underway.
The primary focus of this drill program is to test on the "Discovery Outcrop" zone of the Central Cocha Target where last year's initial Phase I drill program intersected 30.23m grading 2.67% copper and 24.1 g/t silver in diamond drill hole COCHA-06-03 (see October 17, 2006 News Release).
Central Cocha Target
Highlights from the eleven-hole 2006 Phase I drill program included:
• 30.23m @ 2.67% copper and 24.1 g/t silver* (COCHA-06-03)
• 13.31m @ 0.80% copper and 10.8 g/t silver* (COCHA-06-02)
• 18.01m @ 1.93% copper and 17.2 g/t silver* (COCHA-06-02)
• 11.55m @ 0.82% copper and 9.2 g/t silver* (COCHA-06-02)
*Previously released on October17, 2006
To date, Amera has identified three copper-silver and one gold-copper-silver mineralized zones on its recently expanded, 100% owned Cocha project. Additionaly, the company has acquired an option to earn up to a 70% interest in four properties from Minera Phelps Dodge del Peru S.A.C. ("MPDP"), increasing its property holdings in the Cocha region to 16,560 hectares (see October 1, 2007 News Release).
South Cocha Target
This Phase II drill program will also test the South Cocha Target, where surface sampling program highlights include:
• 0.80% copper and 8.9 g/t silver over 10.0m*
• 2.80% copper and 105 g/t silver over 0.40m*
*Previously released on September 4, 2007
Surface work to advance the other targets on the property, as well as the MPDP properties, to the drill-ready stage is proceeding in tandem with permitting. Of particular interest, is the newly discovered East Cocha Target, the first gold mineralized zone to be identified on the Cocha property. The high gold values combined with reconnaissance geologic mapping outline a bonanza gold target over widths up to 2m that intermittently outcrops over 600m of strike length and potentially extends up to 2km.
East Cocha highlights include:
• 22.00 g/t gold, 16.2 g/t silver and 3.68% copper over 0.6m
• 8.56 g/t gold, 95.7 g/t silver and 3.57% copper over 1.0m
• 3.13 g/t gold, 60.0 g/t silver and 2.70% copper over 1.9m
*Previously released on October 4, 2007
The style of mineralization discovered at the North, Central and South Cocha Zones is interpreted by Amera as sediment-hosted copper-silver type, comparable to the giant Lubin Deposit (115 billion pounds of copper, 2.3 billion ounces of silver1) in the Kupferschiefer district of Poland and the White Pine Deposit (18.3 billion pounds of copper and 800 million ounces of silver1) in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
