Antares Minerals Inc. has just announced the start of its 2009 drilling campaign at the Haquira Cu-Mo-Au Project in Southern Peru, focusing on four satellite targets in the immediate vicinity of the known Cu-Mo-Au mineralization at the Haquira East and Haquira West Zones.
The
Haquira project is located immediately adjacent to XSTRATA's Las Bambas project, with ample opportunity for shared infrastructure.
Antares, a financially sound company with current cash on hand of $16.5 million and no debts, is focused on precious- and base-metal exploration properties in Latin America that can be quickly and cost-effectively advanced to the discovery and production stage.
In addition to the Haquira Project in Peru, Antares is also currently exploring the Rio Grande (Cu-Au porphyry) project in Salta Province of NW Argentina in a 50/50 option/joint-venture basis with Pachamama Resources Ltd., a spin-off from Mansfield Minerals Inc.
