Geophysics Confirms Porphyry Cu-Mo Target at La Libertad
=======================================================================
Condor Resources Inc. - ("Condor" or the "Company") (TSX.V: CN) is
pleased to provide an update on its wholly owned La Libertad porphyry
Cu-Mo project, northern Peru. Sampling and geophysical results to date
have demonstrated that the La Libertad property represents a new
significant porphyry Cu-Mo discovery that has never been drill tested.
Located in Ancash Department in northern Peru, 280 km north of Lima and
80 km west of the Antamina mine, the 2 sq km property covers the core
of an intensely altered porphyry copper system in the Cordillera
Occidental de los Andes copper belt. Elevations on the property range
from 2700 to 3400m above sea level.
A 5 line kilometer geophysical induced polarization (IP) and
magnetometer survey was recently completed at La Libertad. The survey
comprised two lines across the property in an east-west and north-south
direction to cover the porphyry copper mineralization exposed in the
bottom of the Shemur Quebrada (Valley) (See news release dated
September 15, 2009).
The 100m dipole IP survey outlined a 1.5 km diameter resistivity
anomaly along both lines that occurs at an average depth of 150m below
the bottom of the Shemur Quebrada. Together with earlier sampling and
mapping results, Condor has interpreted this resistivity anomaly to be
the phyllic altered leached cap and secondary copper enrichment
associated with a mineralized intrusive porphyry. In addition, Condor
interprets an associated increase in chargeability with depth to
indicate the potential presence of primary Cu-Mo mineralization.
The magnetic survey also delineated a circular anomalous magnetic low
coincident with the location of the mapped porphyry Cu-Mo centre and
high geochemical values. As in the case of the IP results, this has
been interpreted to represent the phyllic altered core of the
mineralized porphyry.
A 2009 work program at La Libertad reported the discovery of secondary
copper enrichment in the bottom of the Shemur Quebrada During this
program 395 samples were collected, including 3 to 5 metre long chip
samples. At the bottom of this deeply incised gully, erosion has
exposed secondary copper enrichment occurring as disseminations,
veinlets and fracture coatings of chalcocite, covellite, malachite and
chrysocolla, along with well developed quartz-limonite stockwork
veining in an intensely altered phyllic (quartz-sericite)
quartz-feldspar porphyry intrusive. Intermittent secondary copper
enrichment extends in outcrop for approximately 600 metres along the
exposed bottom of the quebrada. Assay results from the 2009 sampling
program returned values ranging from negligible to peak highs of 39.9%
Cu, 1.09g/t Au, 19.85g/t Ag, 0.41% Mo, 8.38% Zn and 0.4% Pb, with the
highest copper values coming from the bottom of the Shemur Quebrada.
In 2005, a hole was drilled to the west of the La Libertad property
boundary and encountered weak secondary copper enrichment but returned
molybdenum grades as high as 0.3% to 0.7% Mo, and averaging 0.03-0.04%
Mo throughout the hole. This regional information, together with the
distribution and values obtained from the 2009 geochemical sample
program, and results of the recent geophysical survey, suggest a
vertical downward zonation from molybdenum to copper, with an upper
molybdenum shell or carapace surrounding a copper core some 300 to 400m
below. Numerous polymetallic Ag-Pb-Zn veins surround the La Libertad
porphyry Cu-Mo target.
An application has been made for a drill permit to test the property,
and agreements have also been signed with the local community near La
Libertad.
Condor Resources Inc. was incorporated in 2003 by field exploration
specialists focused on the generation of gold and copper projects in
South America, where management has extensive experience and a proven
track record of discovery. The Company's long term objective is the
discovery of a major new gold/base metals deposit and its business plan
offers shareholders access to an exciting and growing portfolio of
properties, including six 100% owned projects in Chile, and seven in
Peru, each offering a unique path to discovery.
