Interra Copper (CSE:IMCX) has mobilized a drill and crews at its 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 drill hole evidence, coupled with geophysical and geological interpretations, suggest a potential copper porphyry system to the west-southwest of historical work.
“Our geological team theorize that the Guacate East and Guacate West faults may have allowed for the transfer of mineralizing fluids from a deeper intrusive target, and the location of geophysical anomalies and surface alteration support this idea.”
Interra is a junior exploration and development company. Its assets include the Thane Property in north-central British Columbia.
