ITEM 7.01 | REGULATION FD DISCLOSURES |
Pacific Copper Corp has commenced Phase I of the diamond core drilling program at its Venado/Venapai copper oxide project located 45 km northeast of the city of Copiapo, in Atacama Region III, Chile.
The Venado/Venapai project was previously announced as an acquisition on July 8, 2008. The drill program is designed to initially test a mineralized area called Venapai Sur, one of the 4 major targets identified on the 3,600 hectare property. Surface samples from Venapai Sur mineralized zone contain copper oxides and prospectively leachable chalcocite copper and covers an area of roughly two square kilometers. Phase I contemplates close to 1200 meters of diamond core drilling and laboratory analysis of total and leachable copper content.
Pacific Copper’s overall corporate strategy includes a major copper oxide and leachable copper component, involving the acquisition, exploration and development of suitable low-cost, surface mineable, heap leachable projects in northern Chile.
