08:14 AM EDT, 05/14/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Coppernico Metals ( CPPMF ) provided Wednesday the remaining assays from its phase one drill program at the Sombrero project in Peru.

Results include 9.85 meters at 0.26% copper and 0.46 grams per tonne gold, and 9.40 meters at 0.19% copper. According to Coppernico, drilling to date has not yet defined the limits of the skarn system, with mineralization and alteration vectoring high-priority opportunities well beyond the currently permitted area.

Meanwhile, surface mapping, geophysical data and historical drilling suggest continuity and highlights the potential for the discovery of major extensions in future phases, the company said.

"As we deepen our understanding of the Sombrero system, our confidence in the size and potential of the broader district continues to grow," said Ivan Bebek, chair and CEO of Coppernico. "These early drill results confirm our belief that we are only beginning to unlock the value of this largely underexplored, yet highly promising, land package."
