**Exciting Progress and Potential for Growth at Santa Beatriz**
President and CEO, Alastair McIntyre, shares his enthusiasm about the ongoing exploration progress at Santa Beatriz. The geological information and sample results have revealed vein structures similar to Farellon, but with higher gold grades and a larger land package containing multiple vein sets. This development presents an exciting opportunity for Altiplano Metals to enhance its processing capacity at El Peñón and potentially generate higher returns with significant gold credits.
The technical team has been actively conducting surface and underground mapping and sampling along NE-trending veins as part of the 2024 exploration program at Santa Beatriz. The identification of five veins/splays, with a total strike of 1,050 m and widths ranging from 0.30 to 3.13 m, indicates the potential for substantial mineralization. The sampling channels, perpendicular to the veins, have yielded promising results, including a significant 2.45 m sample with 3.65% Cu, 0.29 g/t Au, and 26.97% Fe.
The Santa Beatriz vein, the most extensively explored to date, exhibits characteristics similar to the Farellon and Rosario veins, suggesting a shared hydrothermal system with similar ore-forming conditions. The positive geological mapping and sample results have prompted plans for further exploration, including a bulk sample from underground workings, geophysics, and diamond drilling to confirm continuity of the vein and grades.
The existing underground infrastructure at Santa Beatriz will be leveraged to facilitate development and access to the mineralized vein structures at depth. With over US$14.9 million generated from copper recovery and sales, Altiplano Metals is well-positioned to capitalize on the growth potential at Santa Beatriz.
