Ian Harris, CEO of Libero Copper and Gold (TSX.V:LBC – OTCQB:LBCMF) joins us to review the 2022 exploration strategy and overall size and scope for the Mocoa Project as the largest undeveloped copper project in Colombia. Mocoa has an inferred Resource of 636 million tonnes of 0.33% copper and 0.038% molybdenum, containing 4.6Blbs Cu and 510Mlbs Mo. Previous Drilling Includes a drillhole of 0.49% Cu and 0.06% Mo over 634 meters, and 0.44% Cu and 0.05% Mo over 779 meters.
Now that land access agreements were signed in December, and the surface work and geophysical targeting was completed last year, the Company’s Phase 1 program is underway focusing on drilling 5 long holes for a total of 5,000 meters, and will be testing areas between known mineralized areas, testing extensions both laterally and at depth to expand known resources, as well as testing some new targets based on surface work. Ian expects the turnaround time on the initial drill assays to be shorter in duration than other parts of the world, so there should be news flow starting from Mocoa by late March.
Ian also unpacks their practical and very real programs and initiatives to engage and enhance the local communities and stakeholders beyond the typical box checking that many companies rattle off simply to meet ESG metrics. These philosophies are engrained in their company culture, and this partnering with local communities creates tangible synergies key to a successful operations for surrounding businesses and individuals.
