Torino Metals is advancing the Zonda copper-gold porphyry project in which it is earning a 100% interest. Zonda will be ready to drill in Q2 2023 subject to final permitting, funding and contractor availability. San Juan is a province in Argentina with numerous mines and mineral deposits and is attracting significant interest from international explorers

ZONDA

Zonda is an outcropping copper-gold porphyry in San Juan Province, Argentina. Of the more than 5,000m of historical shallow drilling, 73% of holes end in mineralisation.  Drill testing is planned for Q1 2023 and will target higher primary grade at depth.

Average depth of historical drilling was approximately 180m, but similar nearby systems show sulphide mineralisation extending well over 1,000m Torino is planning a drill program of 1,200m holes to test the depth potential of the porphyry system.

SORPRESA

Sorpresa is a copper-silver target located just 50km northeast of the regional capital Copiapo in Chile. Geophysics will be used to target mineralisation. High grade copper, silver, nickel and cobalt are evident at surface.

Torino executives have led discoveries on the high grade Escondida gold-silver vein deposit at Cerro Moro (+2-million-ounce gold equivalent resource), and the massive Caspiche gold-copper porphyry deposit in Chile.
