RENO, Nev. and TORONTO, Dec. 1, 2022 /CNW/ -- Bendito Resources Inc. ("Bendito", the "Company", or "we") is pleased to announce a voluntary filing of a NI43-101 Exploration Technical Report for the Alacrán project, located in Sonora, Mexico. The report was prepared by Mr. David G. Thomas (P. Geo.) of Mine Technical Services ("MTS"), an independent geological consulting company based in Reno, Nevada.
Highlights of the report include the following opportunities ?
Mr. John Antwi, President and CEO of Bendito, commented: "This geologic report on Alacrán supports the business case for the acquisition of the Alacrán project, among other projects in July 2022. The extension of the high sulfidation system to the south east and the potential for a very significant copper porphyry system based on the previous geologic activity on the land package is germane to the transaction. We will be providing you with more updates as we advance the exploration and resource growth programs. Thanks to MTS for the great work."
Mr. Facundo Cazares, VP Exploration of Bendito, commented: "With the completion of the Technical Report, Bendito is defining the geological context of the porphyry copper exposed in Cerro Alacrán and its associated precious-metal high-sulfidation system present at Mesa de Plata and Loma Bonita, bringing a more comprehensive understanding of the exposure level of mineralization and its potential extension, which is helping Bendito to design a focused exploration program for 2023."
The Alacrán Project is located approximately 15 km south of the town of Cananea, Sonora, Mexico, and about 50 km south of the international border with the US. The Alacrán project displays mineralization and alteration styles consistent with a large porphyry system (Figure 1).
Mineralization styles known within the Project area include (see Figure 2):
Numerous phases of exploration and drilling have occurred on the project including geological mapping, geochemical sampling, airborne and ground geophysics and exploration and resource drilling. Previous drilling on the Alacrán project totals 306 core and RC holes for a total of 48,903m. Historical estimates were undertaken for both the Loma Bonita and Mesa de Plata high sulfidation epithermal deposits which define lithocap siliceous ridges in the NW of the project area. Extensions of these mineralization styles are noted both to the north and to the south towards San Simon and La Morita target areas. Further to the south and east of the Alacrán project, porphyry-related mineralization and alteration is exposed at Cerro Alacrán. A sub-epithermal veining system occurs on the northern and southern flanks of Cerro Alacrán, showing polymetallic quartz veins containing high-grade Zn-Cu-Pb-Ag-Au.
Bendito is currently planning exploration activities, including drilling, to develop maiden Mineral Resource Estimates for the Loma Bonita and Mesa de Plata deposits to be reported in accordance with the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum ("CIM") Definition Standards and National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"). Earlier stage exploration activities are also being developed to explore the property for the base metal porphyry mineralization styles within the project area.
