Resumen: Zincore Metales Inc. (ZNC) informó que el Acuerdo Formal que resume los detalles del joint venture denominado "Dolores" con la empresa First Quantum Minerals Ltd., ha sido finalizado y que se ha iniciado la primera etapa del programa de trabajo del proyecto para la exploración del pórfido de cobre-molibdeno, al sur del Perú (en el cinturón de cobre de Yauri-Andahuaylas).
Aunque llegar a la firma de dicho Acuerdo requirió más tiempo de lo inicialmente pensado, ambas compañías han trabajado juntas para reflejar el sentido del Memorando de Entendimiento original ("MOU"). Como resultado, ya ha habido una reunión del Comité Técnico para definir el programa de trabajo del primer año, los trabajos ya están en marcha y ya hay una maquina de perforación diamantina para trabajar en "Dolores".
El objetivo para el programa del primer año es ubicar los núcleos de mineralización con leyes más altas por medio de trabajos de mapeo geológico, geoquímica de superficie, geofísica y mediante un programa de exploración por perforación diamantina.
Zincore and First Quantum Complete Formal Agreement for Dolores-Work Program Is Underway
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Sept. 6, 2012) - Zincore Metals Inc. (TSX:ZNC)(LMA:ZNC) ("Zincore" or the "Company") is pleased to report that the Formal Agreement outlining the Dolores joint venture details with First Quantum Minerals Ltd. ("First Quantum") has been completed and the first stage of the joint-venture work program to explore the Dolores copper-molybdenum porphyry has begun.
Zincore President and CEO, Jorge Benavides, commented, "We are very pleased to have the Formal Agreement signed. Although completing it took longer than was originally expected, both companies have been working together in the spirit of the original Memorandum of Understanding. ("MOU") As a result, we have already had a Technical Committee meeting to outline the first year plan, work is underway and a drill rig is at the Dolores site."
Mr. Benavides elaborated, "Our goal for the first year program is to locate the higher grade centres of mineralization through geological mapping, surface geochemistry, geophysics, and an exploration drill program. Geological crews are already working on the field mapping and sampling and a geophysical crew will start work in early September. With a rig currently on site, drilling will start as soon as possible and test some of the targets evidenced by our previous surface work and trenching."
As outlined in the Company's news release dated July 13th, Zincore will be the Operator of the Dolores joint venture program for the current work plan. The Company expects to benefit from the knowledge gained by the First Quantum team that has been successfully developing the Haquira project, located 40 kilometres west of Dolores, as well as from First Quantum's capacity to provide on demand access to top quality exploration equipment and consultants for drilling, geophysics, geochemistry and other tools that have been successfully deployed at Haquira.
Highlights of the first year work program will include:
- Mapping and geochemical sampling of an area that is approximately 600 hectares in size
- Trenching
- 23 line-kilometres of magnetic and IP geophysics exploration
- Approximately 7,500 metres of diamond drilling

The Dolores Copper Porphyry Project
Zincore's 100%-owned Dolores Project is located on the Company's Accha Zinc Oxide District in the Yauri-Andahuaylas Copper belt in southern Peru, near significant copper mines and developments such as Xstrata's Las Bambas and Tintaya, HudBay's Constancia and First Quantum's Haquira. To date, Zincore has published results from 10 drill holes, two trenches and a number of surface samples at Dolores.
