2026年4月16日，温哥华——Centenario Gold公司欣然宣布，已启动位于墨西哥奇瓦瓦市附近的Los Reyes项目第一阶段工作程序。这处极具前景的铜金勘探资产第一阶段工作将包括对沿南北走向延伸1公里的旧地下矿区进行详细测绘和采样。这些地下矿迹可追溯至20世纪初，此前从未经过系统采样。
在完成初步的地下测绘和采样后，公司将开始第二阶段工作，即在Los Reyes进行1500米的钻石钻探计划。该计划旨在测试此前由美国大型历史矿业公司ASARCO开采的高品位铜锌银矽卡岩区向深部超过100米的延伸情况。公司已提交环境研究报告，预计将于2026年4月下旬获得许可，钻探工作预计在此后立即开始。
关于Los Reyes矿产
Los Reyes是一个位于49号公路附近的铜锌金矽卡岩矿化项目，距离奇瓦瓦市东南约170公里。该物业覆盖了以一个直径2公里的巨型花岗闪长岩侵入体西侧接触带为中心的重点历史采矿区。历史采矿活动可追溯至18世纪初。19世纪后期，ASARCO在名为Jibosa的旧矿区开采了约20万吨高品位铜锌银矿石。最近的勘探工作由Valterra资源公司于2019年完成，覆盖了沿南北走向800公里的接触带。
April 16th, 2026, Vancouver, BC - TheNewswire – Centenario Gold Corp. (TSXV: CTG) ("Centenario” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the company has initiated the first phase work program on the Los Reyes Project (“the Project”) a highly prospective copper and gold exploration asset located near the city of Chihuahua, Mexico. This first stage of work will include detailed mapping and sampling of the old underground mine workings found along a N-S trending contact zone that extends for 1 km. The Los Reyes underground mine workings date back to the early 1900s and have never been systematically sampled.
Following the initial underground mapping and sampling program, the Company will begin the second phase work program which consists of a 1500 meters diamond drilling program at Los Reyes. The drilling program is designed to test the >100m depth extensions of the high-grade Cu-Zn-Ag skarn zone that ASARCO (a large historic US mining company) previously mined at Los Reyes. The Company has submitted the environmental study report and expects permits to be received by late April 2026. Drilling is expected to commence right after.
About the Los Reyes Property
Los Reyes is a Cu-Zn-Au skarn (CRD or Carbon Replacement Deposit?) mineral project located off Highway 49, approximately 170 km S-SE of the city of Chihuahua. The Property covers an important area of historical mining centered along the western contact of a large 2 km diameter granodiorite intrusive body. Historical mining activities date back to the early 1700s. In the late 1800s, ASARCO mined approximately 200,000 tons of high-grade Cu-Zn-Ag material at one of the old mine workings, known as Jibosa.
The most recent exploration work was completed by Valterra Resource Corporation in year 2019. The work was conducted along an 800-metre N-S strike (intrusive-carbonaceous sediments contact) covering the Cu-Au skarn (CRD or Carbon Replacement Deposit?) zone outcropping along the eastern edge between the Tertiary-age granodiorite intrusive and the Cretaceous-age limestones and shales. The exploration target is over 100 meters in width and hosts multiple zones of strongly copper-enriched mineralization.
In a press release dated December 2, 2019 - Valterra Resource Corporation reported results of the surface sampling collected from waste dumps and some limited outcrop chip samples at Los Reyes. The average Cu grade was 3.1% and 22 of 28 samples had values >1% Cu. The more anomalous samples also contained elevated precious and base metal values, reaching up to 0.57g/t Au, 25.3g/t Ag, 0.47% Mo and 1.7% Zn (see Table 1).
