Coffee With Samso Episode 116 is with Los Cerros Ltd (ASX:LCL) managing director Jason Stirbinskis who explains why he is excited about the prospect of finding a Tier-1 gold porphyry deposit in Columbia.
The Los Cerros story is one that I am pretty sure not many ASX investors would look for in the market.
In today's Coffee with Samso, we learn about a high-grade gold porphyry that could make Los Cerros a Tier 1 player in the land of giants. There is a significant moment happening now as Los Cerros moves towards drilling a high chargeable target that is between two significant prospects, Miraflores and Tesorito.
The moment of truth may be near as drilling continues.
We told the market that we may have a potential core of mineralisation between Miraflores and Tesorito. The geophysics is now backing this theory.
What I like about Los Cerros is that this is looking like a high-grade gold porphyry which is not that common. Most porphyries that I have come across have been a copper-gold system. Jason tells us that this is looking like gold dominated but there is significant evidence that a polymetallic nature may be present as well.
Tune in to find out how Jason Stirbinskis intends to take Los Cerros into the land of giant gold porphyry deposits.
