Tres Chorreras

COMPANY: Atlas Minerals

LOCATION: Ecuador

The Tres Chorreras copper-molybdenite-gold-silver (Cu-Mo-Au-Ag) mineral deposits, the 3C Breccia and Epithermal Deposit have been defined by 42 diamond drillholes for a total of 7,942m of drilling and consists of a tabular, steeply dipping Cretaceous quartz monzonite intrusive body with a thickness of over to 100 m and a strike length of at least 250 m. A pervasive phyllic + local potassic alteration system, 700m by 350m in size, is developed in the intrusive itself. Mineralization, open to depth and to the northeast, is hosted in a quartz-pyrite stockwork and fractures within the alteration zone with the best grades located along the contact zone of the intrusive.

The Tres Chorreras occurrence is one of numerous such deposits and occurrences
in the area.
