Prospectiva reports initial copper drilling results in Brazil
Prospectiva Resources reported on 20 October initial assays from the first three diamond drill holes at its São Francisco Copper-Gold Project in Pernambuco, Brazil. The company said all three holes intersected copper-bearing sulphide mineralisation consistent with geophysical anomalies.
Event / data period: 2026-10-20
Published: · Updated:
Hole SF_26_003 returned 7.15 metres grading 4.78% copper, including 3.60 metres at 9.17%. Copper-bearing intervals were also reported in holes SF_26_001 and SF_26_002. These are downhole lengths.
The company states that true widths have not yet been established and these are initial results from its maiden programme. Two rigs are drilling while further assays remain pending. The release does not report a mineral resource or commercial production.
