Molejon has unannounced copper ?

[goldpig]

This is from a earlier news release announcing that drill results had linked the Botija Abajo/Brazo zone  to the Molejon open pit.

" A  total of six drill rigs are currently working on a mineralized gold and copper trend between Molejon and Botija Abajo/Brazo, known as the El Real trend. Results from drill holes BA-07- 332, BA-07-334 and BA-07-317 show that the zone is much larger in size, that the area has a new silver zone and confirms the mineralized trend between the Botija Abajo, Botija Abajo West, Brazo and Molejon open pit. The overall goal of this large scale, wide spaced drill program is to identify and delineate the many targets on the El Real Trend and tie the Botija Abajo/Brazo zone to the Molejon open pit gold deposit.

Work in the Brazo zone is expected to begin by way of a new drill program starting in late 2007. Historic drilling in the Brazo zone demonstrates mineralization and was modeled in the 1997 Fluor Daniel Wright study as a pre-43-101 resource. One such historic drill hole BR-94-054, contained continuous copper values along 291.8 meters of core that averaged 0.628% copper equivalent. Below are the latest drill results from the Botija Abajo/Brazo section of the El Real trend.

I could find no recent report on these later drill results, but what is intrigueing is the high copper values within the Braza zone that is, as far as I can tell, a part of the Molejon extension that goes to the border of the Cobre deposit.

Any insights ?
