EDMONTON, Nov. 22, 2017 /CNW/ - Altiplano Minerals Ltd.
(TSX-V:APN) (OTCQB:ALTPF) (FWB:9AJ1) ("APN" or the
"Company") announces that it has earned a 50% interest in
the Comet Joint Venture ("CJV").
At Farellon, the CJV has commenced the collection of
Copper-Gold-Magnetite mineralized vein material from the Historic
Farellon Copper-Gold Mine in Chile. Development of crosscuts towards the
Cu-Au vein system was completed by November
15 and initial bulk sampling commenced shortly thereafter.
To date, the CJV has stockpiled over 200 tonnes of mineralized vein
material in preparation for toll milling. The CJV is currently in
discussion with a toll mill to accept delivery of its initial batch
of Cu-Au vein material.
CEO John Williamson stated, "We
are excited to have advanced our initial project to the bulk
sampling stage and look forward to the results of the sale of the
initial Copper-Gold-Magnetite mineralized vein material. We expect
to collect 2,000 tonnes of mineralized material to evaluate the
projects potential."
As part of its ongoing program, the CJV is carrying out the
recommendations contained in the APEX Report of February 10,
2017 filed on SEDAR for the exploration development of the Farellon
project and is also relying upon past production records,
underground sampling and related activities and current diamond
drilling to estimate grade and widths of the mineralization. There
are no mineral resources or reserves on the property and the
current mineral exploration activities are intended to be part of a
program to determine if mineral resources can be identified.
Osbaldo Zamora Vega, P.Geol.,
Vice President of Exploration for Altiplano, is the Qualified
Person as defined in National Instrument 43-101 who has reviewed
