Revelo Advances Copper Targets At The Morros Blancos Project

 

VANCOUVER BC - Revelo Resources Corp. has completed surface geological mapping and received results from surface geochemical surveys at its Morros Blancos project in northern Chile that, combined with historic information including limited historical geophysical and peripheral drilling data, delineate and refine two potential porphyry copper targets. The principal conclusions from recent work include:

Morros Blancos Norte (MBN) represents a porphyry copper-moly (+/- gold) target related to a zone of quartz-alunite alteration over about 2 km x 2 km, within a larger zone of advanced argillic alteration including the presence of pyrophyllite, over about 4 km x 3 km. Hydrothermal alteration mineralogy and zonation patterns, combined with multi-element geochemical anomalies including Mo from 2.5 ppm up to 8 ppm in sieved surface samples, define a central target area some 2 km x 1 km in size.

The project is centered 8 km southwest of MBN, also corresponds to a porphyry copper-moly (+/- gold) target, with similar characteristics to MBN, but with the addition of a quartz-veinlet stockwork partially exposed at surface, including "A"-type veinlets, which suggests somewhat deeper erosion and probable telescoping of the porphyry copper system. Mo anomalies above 2.5 ppm in sieved surface samples range up to 32 ppm, and the target area is at least 1.5 km x 1 km in size, and possibly larger, within an overall hydrothermally altered area some 5 km x 4 km in size.

Altamira represents a third area of interest within the overall Morros Blancos property, and is located approximately 17 km south of MBS, but is poorly explored to date. It does however represent another potential porphyry copper target with extensive hydrothermal alteration related to a feldspar porphyry intrusion, but will not be further discussed here.

Tim Beale, President and CEO of Revelo, said, "Morros Blancos represents an exciting new discovery for Revelo in an area with very easy access close to the Pan-American Highway, and located within the Paleocene mineral belt of northern Chile that hosts giant porphyry copper deposits. Morros Blancos Sur is particularly interesting with exposed quartz-veinlet stockworks at surface, within an otherwise heavily leached desert environment. The presence of important molybdenum geochemical anomalies at surface could be significant, as they are sometimes related to porphyry copper centers in the sub-surface in these leached environments. Other general similarities and compelling exploration data also suggest that Morros Blancos Norte could be an important and likely geologically related, target."
