PepinNini Minerals (ASX: PNN) has launched a new exploration program for copper and high-grade gold at the Santa Ines Project, which is located in the Salta Province of Argentina.
PepinNini is following up on results for grab samples collected in April 2012 from an historic mine working, with the company targeting Cu-Au-Mo porphyry deposits.
Adding to the prospectivity of the area, the BHP Escondida Cu-Au porphyry deposit is located 80 kilometres to the north-west.
The planned exploration activities for PepinNini target a better understanding of the geology and mineral potential.
The project lays within a crustal scale NW trending megalineament, which in Andean geology are widely recognised as being major long-lived structural corridors that are fundamental in the control of the distribution of porphyry-epithermal deposits.
An advantage also is proximity to gas pipeline, high-transmission power lines, Salta-Antofagasta railway.
