LUMINARIA COLQUIPUCRO TINGO ESTE

TINGO ESTE

The Company has staked four contiguous claims totaling 3,700 hectares in the porphyry copper belt near the coastline of southwestern Peru known as Tingo Este.  The project is situated in the province of Huaytara within the department of Huancavelica.

Porphyry copper mineralization has been discovered within a creek bed and mapped over a distance of at least 300 metres in a northwesterly trending quebrada.  Chalcopyrite has been identified, occurring as grains along fractures and host rocks are well fractured.  Mapping and prospecting have defined copper mineralization within a 1,000m by 800m area.  Eighty two channel samples were collected over 2m widths to sample the dominantly fracture-controlled mineralization.  These sites were taken at nominal 50m intervals along the major drainages within the target area.  Results ranged from 0.012% to 0.9% copper with 20 samples assaying greater than 0.1% copper. 

The Company will systematically map and sample the surface area of the mineralized intrusion.
