CULPEO MINERALS IDENTIFIES NEW TARGET AT
FORTUNA PROJECT
Culpeo Minerals Limited (Culpeo or the Company) (ASX:CPO, OTCQB:CPORF) is pleased to
announce that assay results returned from ongoing regional mapping and sampling programs at its
Fortuna Project (the Project) have led to the discovery of new mineralisation at the El Quillay East
Prospect. The Company intends to quickly delineate the full extent of this new target prior to drill
testing.
HIGHLIGHTS
•
Newly discovered El Quillay East Prospect hosts high-grade copper and gold
mineralisation 500m to the east of the main El Quillay Fault (see Figure 1).
•
Rock chip samples returned assay grades up to 3.29% Cu and 1.32g/t Au, with all samples
being greater than 1.0% Cu.
•
Samples collected over an initial area of 250m x 150m with potential to extend in all directions.
•
The El Quillay East Prospect is located on a structure parallel to the main El Quillay Fault and
remains open to the southeast.
•
The El Quillay Fault Zone spans >3km and links the El Quillay South, Central and North
Prospects, where previous drilling returned an intersection of 26m @ 0.81% CuEq1.
•
New breccia targets defined at Lana Corina and Vista Montana are scheduled for drilling in
the coming weeks.
Culpeo Minerals’ Managing Director, Max Tuesley, commented:
“We are highly encouraged by these promising initial results from our target generation programs. The
newly defined and well mineralised El Quillay East Prospect illustrates an abundance of copper
mineralisation at surface within the structural corridor. Given this prospect has never been drilled, we
see good potential for a second mineralised trend to be discovered, parallel to the 3km long El Quillay
Fault.”

EL QUILL AY EAST AND CENTRAL MAPPING AND SAMPLING
The El Quillay East Prospect is a newly discovered zone of mineralisation located 500m east of the
El Quillay North Prospect where previous drilling returned an intersection of 26m @ 0.81% CuEq1.
Samples were taken from outcrop and subcrop locations, and areas where copper and gold
mineralisation has historically been exploited by small scale surface and underground mining (see
Figure 1).
Results from sampling returned grades up to 3.29% Cu with strong gold mineralisation of up to
1.32g/t Au (refer Table 1).
Confirmatory sampling was also completed at El Quillay Central where assay results returned grades
up to 1.88% Cu and gold mineralisation of up to 2.20g/t Au (refer Table 2).

ABOUT CULPEO MINERALS LIMITED
Culpeo Minerals is a copper exploration and development company with assets in Chile, the world’s
number one copper producer. The Company is exploring and developing high-grade copper systems
in the coastal Cordillera region of Chile.
The Company has made a new discovery at Lana Corina and has recently acquired the Fortuna
Project, which hosts a suite of promising exploration targets. Both projects are situated in the
Coquimbo region of Chile and contain significant outcropping high-grade copper mineralisation
which offers multiple walk-up drill targets.
Culpeo Minerals has a strong board and
management team with significant Chilean country
expertise and has an excellent in-country network.
All these elements enable the Company to gain
access to quality assets in a non-competitive
environment. We leverage the experience and
relationships developed over 10 years in-country
to deliver low cost and effective discovery and
resource growth. We aim to create value for our
shareholders through exposure to the acquisition,
discovery and development of mineral properties
which feature high grade, near surface copper
mineralisation.

SECTION 1 SAMPLING TECHNIQUES AND DATA
Criteria
JORC Code explanation
Commentary
Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut
channels, random chips, or specific specialised
industry standard measurement tools
appropriate to the minerals under
investigation, such as down-hole gamma
sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc.).
These examples should not be taken as
limiting the broad meaning of sampling.
El Quillay
Include reference to measures taken to ensure
sample representivity and the appropriate
calibration of any measurement tools or
systems used.
Aspects of the determination of mineralisation
that are Material to the Public Report. In
cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been
done this would be relatively simple (e.g.
‘reverse circulation’ drilling was used to obtain
1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised
to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In
other cases, more explanation may be
required, such as where there is coarse gold
that has inherent sampling problems.
Unusual commodities or mineralisation types
(e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant
disclosure of detailed information.
• 17 holes for a total of 4,683.33
meters, were completed historically.
• Sampling and analysis were
undertaken for 570 samples, 570
analyses for copper; 480 analyses
for gold and 26 analyses for silver.

analytical techniques were
undertaken Au-AA24, Au-GRA22,

Technical Details
Copper Equivalent (Cu Eq) values: Assumed commodity prices for the calculation of Copper
Equivalent (Cu Eq) is Cu US$3.00/lb, Au US$1,700/oz, Mo US$14/lb and Ag US$20/oz. Recoveries are
assumed from similar deposits: Cu = 85%, Au = 65%, Ag = 65%, Mo = 80%, Cu Eq (%) was calculated
using the following formula: ((Cu% x Cu price 1% per tonne x Cu recovery) + (Au(g/t) x Au price per
g/t x Au recovery) + (Mo ppm x Mo price per g/t x Mo recovery) + Ag ppm x Ag price per g/t x Ag
recovery)) / (Cu price 1% per tonne x Cu recovery). Cu Eq (%) = Cu (%) + (0.54 x Au (g/t)) + (0.00037
x Mo (ppm)) + (0.0063 x Ag (ppm)). It is the Company’s opinion that all elements included in the
metal equivalents have a reasonable potential to be recovered and sold.
