Alto de Lipangue, Chile - Porphyry Copper/Gold Deposits Identified.LAKE ELSINORE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 19, 1998--Gordon House, P.GEO, reports on his fieldwork on several of the companies' 1788 properties near Santiago, Chile Santiago, officially Santiago de Chile (Spanish: (helpinfo)), is the capital of Chile, and the center of its largest conurbation (Greater Santiago). . Work on the Alto de Lipangue property consisted of an IP and geological survey The term geological survey can be used to describe both the conduct of a survey for geological purposes and an institution holding geological information. A geological survey of a previously discovered breccia breccia: see conglomerate. breccia Coarse sedimentary rock consisting of angular or nearly angular fragments larger than 0.08 in. (2 mm).

Formerly called "La Fortuna de Lampa Mine," Alto de Lipangue produced ore averaging 59 grams of gold and 104.1 grams of silver per ton over an eight-year period commencing in 1946. Old mines and quartz veins are abundant in the Alto de Lipangue area and carry good values of copper, gold and silver. It is suspected that these values have been infused into the "country rock" and vein/manto structures by the intrusive. The intrusive has now been identified as a copper/gold porphyry Porphyry, Greek scholar Porphyry (pôr`fĭrē), c.232–c.304, Greek scholar and Neoplatonic philosopher.

Mr. House initially recommends 2700 meters of diamond drilling Diamond Drilling is a highly specialized industry used for mineral exploration around the world. Most commonly using wireline and core bits with diamond encrusted matrix. To drill holes to max depths of twelve thousand feet, for the recovery of core used in verifying mineral on identified targets. Management is currently accepting bids from drilling companies. Mr. House also worked on Medinah's Las Dos Marias stockworks property that is adjacent to the Alto de Lipangue.
