Andina Copper's Colombian Project Expands with Major 292m Copper Intercept

Andina Copper Corporation has announced a significant expansion of its Cobrasco Project in Colombia with drillhole CDH007 intercepting 292 meters of near-surface copper-molybdenum mineralization. The company, led by President and CEO Joseph van den Elsen, reported the intercept from 44 meters depth grading 0.48% copper, 62ppm molybdenum, and 1.7g/t silver, confirming the northwest extension of the Cobrasco Central porphyry system. This result closely mirrors the impressive 232-meter intercept from drillhole CDH006 reported just days earlier, demonstrating remarkable consistency in the mineralized zone that now measures approximately 1,000 by 500 meters and remains open in all directions.

The drilling program continues to reveal what appears to be a potentially world-class copper porphyry complex with every completed drillhole intersecting significant mineralization from surface or near-surface to depths of approximately 600 meters. Two additional step-out holes, CDH008 and CDH009, have been drilled from the same platform with extensive visible mineralization observed and assay results pending. The company's technical team, including qualified person Francisco Montes, has confirmed the geological consistency of the mineralization, which is dominated by chalcopyrite within structurally prepared zones with various alteration patterns. Interested parties can access the company's detailed Corporate Presentation through their website for more comprehensive information about their exploration activities and geological findings.

Andina Copper's rapid advancement of their wide-spaced scout drilling program has been particularly noteworthy, with only seven drillholes completed to date yet already defining a substantial mineralized footprint. The company is preparing to mobilize a second drill rig to both test further mineralized targets and delineate the high-grade mineralization intersected in the widely spaced scout holes. This development follows previous high-grade intersections reported in drillholes CDH003 to CDH005, as detailed in their March 24, 2026 news release, and continues the positive momentum from their April 14, 2026 news release detailing the CDH006 results. The company maintains rigorous quality assurance and quality control protocols throughout their sampling and analysis process, with samples processed through ALS laboratories in Medellin and Lima to ensure accurate results.
