Arena Minerals Inc. - JOGMEC JV Commences Drilling on Atacama Copper Project

10.09.2015  |  Marketwired

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Sep 10, 2015) - Arena Minerals Inc. ("Arena" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:AN) is pleased to announce that a reverse circulation drill rig has been mobilized and commenced drilling the Baquedano NE Project ("Baquedano") under Joint Venture with Japan Oil, Gas and Metals Corporation ("JOGMEC").

The exploration program is designed to drill the entire land package under option to JOGMEC (for further details please refer to press release dated July 15, 2015). The program will systematically drill the land on a 1.5 km by 1.5 km grid, reducing the chances of missing a world class copper porphyry deposit. The approach was to design a grid that was tightly spaced enough so that drill holes would minimally intersect the alteration halo of classic porphyry hosted copper deposits. The spacing was determined using sizes and geometries typical of deposits in the area and, in particular, the known characteristics of the Spence and Sierra Gorda deposits.

The technical and scientific aspects of this news release have been reviewed and approved by Mr. Vernon Arseneau, P.Geo, who is a qualified person pursuant to NI 43-101. As the Vice President of Exploration of the Company, Mr. Arseneau is not considered independent.
