Interra Copper (IMCX) has begun its 2023 exploration plans at the Tres Marias Copper Project in Chile.
The planned exploration program consists of 10,500 metres of reverse circulation drilling across three target areas within the 160 sq. km. of contiguous concessions. The program will test several targets identified in the technical work completed to date.
Tres Marias is one of three copper projects that the company acquired in 2021 from Minera Freeport-McMoRan South America Ltd. The Project is located within the Paleocene Copper Porphyry Belt, about 30 km west of the mining centre of Calama and 30 km north of BHP Chile’s Spence Mine.
The planned exploration program will be completed in a phased approach, with the first phase of the program comprising 2,100 metres of drilling in Tres Marias East. The three target areas of interest are clustered in the Eastern, Central, and Western parts of the property.

The company’s President and CEO, Chris Buncic, stated that the campaign will test the large coherent chargeability and resistivity anomalies that have been identified.
“Located on the same prolific copper belt that hosts a number of producing mines, including Spence and Sierra Gorda, the early work at Tres Marias shows that it is prospective for copper porphyry mineralization and we are eager to begin the program to better understand the mineralization and geology.”
Interra is a junior exploration and development company. Its assets include the Thane Property in north-central British Columbia.
