Amera Options Loma Colorada Porphyry Copper-Gold Property, Peru
|
| |
Amera Resources Corporation (AMS-TSX.V; AJRSF-OTC; OAY-Frankfurt) is pleased to announce that it has signed a Letter of Intent to option up to a 100% interest in the Loma Colorada porphyry copper-gold property. This 1,100 hectare project is located in Ancash department, 430 km northwest of Lima, Peru and is situated within the Andean-Pacific copper-molybdenum porphyry belt which includes the nearby Magistral mine (Cu-Pb-Zn) and the Pashpap copper-molybdenum porphyry project. The Loma Colorada claims encompass a disseminated copper-gold target extending approximately 1500m east-west by 1200m north-south.
"Loma Colorada has excellent potential for a large-scale discovery", stated Nikolaos Cacos, President & C.E.O. "This project fits very well within the framework of our business model of constantly evaluating and enhancing our property portfolio with high potential projects."
The mineralization at Loma Colorada is hosted in a monzonite porphyry intrusive stock emplaced within stratified Cretaceous quartzite, argillite and andesite. The majority of the mineralized stock is covered by alluvial conglomerate that extends up to 50m thick and hosts exotic copper mineralization. Porphyry style alteration of the monzonite stock includes propylitic, argillic, phyllic (secondary biotite), sericitic and silicification. The mineralized porphyry hosts quartz stockwork, sheeted veins and disseminated sulfides displaying both oxide and sulfide copper minerals, including malachite, azurite, chrysacolla, tenorite, chalcocite and covelite along with pyrite.
Amera acquired a geochemical database for the property that includes gold and ICP multielement analyses of 315 surface rock chip, channel and colluvium composite samples collected across the Loma Colorada claim block. Rock samples were collected throughout the intrusive stocks and surrounding altered country rock. The results show consistently anomalous copper values ranging up to 1.07% copper along with elevated gold, silver, arsenic, molybdenum, lead and zinc. Due diligence sampling carried out by Amera confirm analyses reported in the property database. Basic statistics from the rock sample database are shown below:

The distribution and consistently elevated copper values combined with the style of alteration and mineralization indicate the Loma Colorada property is a large tonnage porphyry copper exploration target. Higher grade supergene and primary sulfide zones will be targeted at depth. Amera plans to aggressively explore the entire intrusive body. Since the property lies at moderate elevations (1050m to 2100m above sea level) exploration can be carried out year round. Amera plans to initiate exploration by constructing a four kilometre road, followed by dozer trenching, channel sampling, detailed geologic mapping, induced polarization (IP) studies and drilling.
Under the terms of this Letter of Intent, Amera may earn up to a 100% undivided interest in the Loma Colorada property by incurring US$1,400,000 in exploration expenditures and make US$490,000 in cash payments to the vendor over a three year period. The Company can exercise this option (i) at the beginning of the fourth year by making a further payment of US$2,500,000 and a 1% NSR or, alternatively, continue with the option for an additional 12-month period in exchange for a payment of US$400,000 and incurring a further US$3,000,000 in exploration expenditures; or (ii) at the beginning of the fifth year by making a payment of US$200,000 and funding a pre-feasibility study; or (iii) at the end of the fifth year by making a payment of US$5,000,000 and granting to the vendor a 2% NSR, whereby each 1% NSR can be purchased by the Company for US$1,000,000.
