Andina Copper Corporation (TSX-V: ANDC | FSE: FIR | OTCQB: PMMCF) announced results from drillhole CDH007 at the Cobrasco Project in Chocó, Colombia, confirming a significant extension of shallow copper-molybdenum mineralization to the northwest. The intercept of 292m @ 0.48% Cu, 62ppm Mo, and 1.7g/t Ag from 44m depth closely mirrors the results from adjacent hole CDH006, which intersected 232m @ 0.68% Cu, 75ppm Mo, and 2 g/t Ag from 38m (refer April 14, 2026 News Release).
CDH007 was the second hole drilled from a new step-out pad located approximately 400m northwest of the previous drill pad. The pad was designed to test the continuity and extension of the Cobrasco Central mineralized system. CDH007 was oriented to the northeast along a section line parallel to previous holes CDH001 and CDH004. Near-surface mineralization begins at 44m and continues uninterrupted to 324m, where a fault zone terminates the mineralized host unit. The company noted that two additional holes from the same platform, CDH008 (completed) and CDH009 (in progress), have extensive visible mineralization, with assay results pending.
President and CEO Joseph van den Elsen commented: "We continue to rapidly advance a wide-spaced scout drilling programme and actively extend the limits of the Cobrasco Central system. Incredibly, after only 7 drillholes the Cu-Mo mineralization footprint already covers an area of 1,000 x 500m, continues to grow with each drillhole and remains open in all directions." He added that preparations are underway for the mobilization of a second drill rig to test further mineralized targets and delineate high-grade zones.
The geology of CDH007 is dominated by chalcopyrite mineralization within structurally prepared zones, including strong argillic alteration in near-surface saprolite and clay-rich fault gouge, transitioning to phyllic and grey-green sericite alteration in more competent core intervals. Bornite occurs sporadically as disseminations and as rims to chalcopyrite. The hole encountered magmatic breccias from 254-284m and 292-324m with intense A-veins and high-grade assays greater than 1% Cu. A faulted contact at 324m marks the end of brecciation, below which a dacitic-andesitic intrusive unit with lower grades extends to 436m.
According to the company, every drillhole completed to date has reported significant porphyry Cu-Mo mineralized intercepts from surface or near-surface to depths of approximately 600m, demonstrating a potentially world-class copper porphyry complex. The current drillhole-defined footprint remains open in all directions. The company's Qualified Person, Francisco Montes, a consultant and member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists (MAIG #4160), has reviewed and approved the technical information.
