Quetzal Copper Corp. provide an update on exploration at the Cristinas Project in Chihuahua, Mexico.
The company completed the two drill holes utilized to complete the InfiniTEM XL downhole geophysical survey. This deep penetrating survey better resolves known EM anomalies at depth.
The company will recommence drilling this week. Our team will use results of the geophysical survey to plan its next drill holes and aims to complete the drill program in September 2024.
“We can’t wait to resume drilling at Cristinas. Now we have completed the geophysical survey and are modelling the results. The geophysical model is needed to plan the next phase of drilling. We plan to announce the results of the drill program at Cristinas in September.”

About the Cristinas Project
The 685-hectare Cristinas Project is in northeastern Chihuahua state, Mexico, approximately 2 hours by car from Chihuahua City in a prolific belt of carbonate-hosted deposits that extends from south-central Mexico north through the United States (Figure 3). The Cristinas Project includes a historic copper mine that operated in the 1950’s on shallow copper oxide mineralization. The project features a >1,250 m long zone of copper mineralization traced through rock chips on surface and 12 historical (2014) drill holes. The copper mineralization is open along strike and at depth with significant expansion potential highlighted by geophysical surveys.
