Cerro de Pasco Resources Inc. announces high-grade intersections of silver, zinc, lead, copper, gold, and gallium in their drilling campaign at the Quiulacocha Tailings Project. Averages of 5.5 oz/t AgEq, including 1.7 oz/t Ag, 1.5% Zn, 0.9% Pb, and 53 g/t Ga were found, with 9% of samples exceeding 100 g/t Ga.

The drilling program confirmed grade consistency and high-grade mineralization at the Quiulacocha Tailings, with strategic gallium concentrations exceeding 100 g/t in 9% of samples. Pyrite potential was also identified, with mineralogical and metallurgical studies underway to confirm metal recoveries.

The successful drilling campaign at Quiulacocha Tailings showcases high-grade mineralization, consistent grade at depth, and significant gallium concentrations. The company is moving forward with metallurgical testing and planning for an extended drilling campaign in the second half of 2025.

High-grade intersections of silver, zinc, lead, copper, gold, and gallium were found in drillholes at the Quiulacocha Tailings, with notable grades of up to 0.62% Cu, 1.34 g/t Au, and 168 g/t Ag. Results indicate increasing lead and gallium concentrations towards the south.

CDPR’s Quiulacocha Project has significant gallium concentrations, high-grade mineralization, and strategic pyrite potential. The company is advancing to the next phase of development with mineralogical and metallurgical testing, as well as plans for an extended drilling campaign.

Cerro de Pasco Resources Inc. has successfully completed a drilling campaign at the Quiulacocha Tailings Project in Peru, confirming high-grade intersections of silver, zinc, lead, copper, gold, and gallium. The company is moving forward with metallurgical testing and plans for extended drilling in 2025.
