La Higuera IOCG Project

Patiently assembled via a series of property acquisitions by former Glencore executives Paul Gow and Thomas Schmidt, starting in 2017, Tribeca Resource’s cornerstone project is the drill-ready La Higuera IOCG Project (the “Project”), located 500 kilometres north of Santiago. It hosts a best historical drill intersection of 285 metres at 0.4% copper, with significant gold, iron and cobalt by-product credits from 6,823m of historic drilling predominantly at two key targets: the Gaby and Chirsposo prospects. Significant geophysical survey data (ground magnetic and Induced Polarization) has been collected over much of the Project area and has defined additional regional drill targets. Tribeca Resources intends to undertake additional limited geophysical gravity surveying to refine some of the drill sites for testing the open extensions of mineralization under thin cover at the Gaby and Chirsposo mineralized systems located on the Project.
