VANCOUVER, May 6, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ - Panoro Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: PML) (Lima: PML) (Frankfurt: PZM) ("Panoro", the "Company")
Panoro is pleased to report additional assay results from its 100%
owned Cotabambas porphyry copper-gold-silver project located in
southern Peru. The drill results include infill, step out, and
exploration drill holes in Ccalla, Ccalla East and Azulccaca deposits.
Some highlights are as follows:
-
Drillhole CB-111 intersected 88.5m of oxide copper mineralization
grading 0.93% Cu, 0.10g/t Au and 2.2g/t Ag including 51.5m averaging
1.24%Cu, 0.04g/t Au and 0.9 g/t Ag.
-
Drillhole CB-112 intersected 86.7m of oxide copper mineralization
grading 0.43%Cu, 0.31g/t Au, 3.3g/t Ag, including 26.7m averaging 0.73%
Cu, 0.35g/t Au, 4.8g/t Ag, underlain by 103.6m of primary copper
mineralization grading 0.79% Cu, 0.58g/t Au and 5.2g/t Ag, including
67.9m averaging 1.06% Cu, 0.84 g/t Au and 6.8 g/t Ag.
-
Drillhole CB-115 intersected 119.6m of primary copper mineralization
grading 0.61% Cu, 0.25 g/t Au and 4.3 g/t Ag, including 64.3m averaging
0.82% Cu, 0.32 g/t Au and 5.0 g/t Ag.

Exploration Drill Holes
Hole CB-105 was collared 1,200m to the east of previously published hole CB-68 and
drilled from the southeast to northwest to test for the depth extension
of the Ccalla East deposit. From 667.2m to 957.6m, 290.4m of copper
primary mineralization averaging 0.31% Cu, 0.12g/t Au and 2.7g/t Ag was
intersected, including a number of intervals grading between 0.47% Cu
to 0.84% Cu. From 989.9m to 1090.5m the hole intersected intervals of
the principal porphyry grading from 0.26% Cu to 1.0%C u and 0.10g/t Au
to 0.68g/t Au between barren latite dikes. The hole bottomed in
mineralization at a vertical depth of 600m.
Hole CB-113 was collared in the Ccalla East deposit, also from the southeast to the
northwest but 500m to the south of CB-105. No significant values were
intercepted suggesting a potential southern limit to the Ccalla East
deposit.
Hole CB-117 was collared at the northern end of the Ccalla deposit and targeted
the deeper portions of potential northern extension of the supergene
enrichment zone beyond the current resource model limits. From 55.8m to
124.2m, 68.4m of a mineralized leached cap was intercepted grading
0.45g/t Au and 2.5g/t Ag, including 18m grading 1.06 Au g/t and 3.8g/t
Ag. This is underlain by 115.3m of oxide copper mineralization grading
0.48% Cu, 0.07g/t Au and 2.3 g/t Ag, including 12.0m averaging 0.96% Cu
and 14.0m grading 1.65% Cu. The supergene mineralization is still open
to the north and nearer to surface and is targeted for further
extension with additional drilling in the future.
Hole CB-118 was collared between holes CB-68 and CB-105in the Ccalla East deposit,
but directed to the southeast. From 222m to 608m, 386.7m of primary
copper mineralization was intersected grading 0.27% Cu, 0.09g/t Au and
2.6g/t Ag, including 67.3m averaging 0.35%Cu, 0.07g/t Au, and 2.6g/t
Ag, and 28.0m grading 0.43% Cu, 0.17g/t Au and 6.1g/t Ag.
Hole CB-119 was collared in Ccalla East 150m to the south of CB-118 and drilled to the
northwest. From 353.7m to 705.0m, a number of intervals of primary
copper mineralization grading from 0.17% Cu to 0.34% Cu were
intercepted.
Step Out Drill Holes
Hole CB-114 was a step out hole at the north end of the Ccalla deposit. From 56m to
92.2m, 36.2m of oxide copper mineralization was intersected grading
0.56% Cu, including 15.1m of 0.80% Cu. At depth, two intervals of
primary copper mineralization of 74.8m and 15.7m length and averaging
0.20% Cu and 0.10% Cu respectively were intersected.
Hole CB-115 was collared in the western border of the Ccalla deposit,. From surface
to 4.2m, a mineralized leached cap was intersected grading 0.56g/t Au,
18.9g/t Ag. This was successively underlain by 114.5m of oxide copper
mineralization averaging 0.36% Cu, 0.18g/t Au and 2.0g/t Ag, including
10.0m grading 0.93% Cu, 0.31 g/t Au, 2.4g/t Ag, and by 46.1m of primary
mineralization grading 0.32% Cu, 0.16 g/t Au, 2.3g/t Ag. Three more
intervals of primary mineralization were intersected, the last of which
consisted of 119.6m averaging 0.61% Cu, 0.25g/t Au, 4.3g/t Ag,
including 64.4m grading 0.82% Cu, 0.32g/t Au and 5.0g/t Ag. The hole
bottomed in mineralization.
Hole CB-116 was a step out hole drilled off the southern margin of the Azulccaca
deposit. Two intervals of primary copper mineralization were
intersected, including 127.7m grading 0.16% Cu and 20.0m grading 0.17%
Cu.
Infill Drill Holes
Hole CB-109 was collared in the Ccalla deposit. From surface to 146m, oxide copper
mineralization grading 0.46% Cu, 0.40 g/t Au and 2.0 g/t Ag was
intersected, including intervals of 14.0m averaging 0.70% Cu, 0.35 g/t
Au, 1.7g/t Ag, and 64m grading 0.53% Cu, 0.48g/t Au, and 2.1g/t Ag.
Below this, 61.5m of primary mineralization averaging 0.22% Cu, 0.10g/t
Au and 1.4g/t Ag was intersected.
Hole CB-110 was drilled in the Ccalla deposit and. From surface to 2.2m oxide
copper mineralization averaging 0.35% Cu, 0.41g/t Au and 2.1g/t Ag was
intersected. This was underlain by 51.4m of enriched chalcocite
mineralization grading 0.45% Cu, 0.44g/t Au, 3.5g/t Ag, including 10.0m
averaging 0.91% Cu, 0.32g/t Au, 4.4g/t Ag. From 132.1m to 261.8m,
129.7m of primary mineralization grading 0.48% Cu, 0.37g/t Au, 4.0g/t
Ag was intersected, including 89.9m averaging 0.57% Cu, 0.48g/t Au and
4.3g/t Ag.
Hole CB-111 was located in the Ccalla deposit. From surface, an 88.5m interval of
oxide copper mineralization averaged 0.93% Cu, 0.10g/t Au, 2.2g/t Ag,
including 51.5m grading 1.24% Cu. This was underlain by four separate
intervals of copper primary mineralization grading between 0.19% Cu and
0.28% Cu.
Hole CB-112 was located in the Ccalla deposit. From surface to 86.7m, the hole
intersected oxide copper mineralization averaging 0.43% Cu, 0.31g/t Au,
3.3g/t Ag, including 26.8m grading 0.73% Cu, 0.35g/t Au, 4.8g/t Ag.
This was underlain by 103.6m of primary mineralization averaging 0.79%
