# Andina Copper Intersects 186m at 0.50% Cu from 38m, within 502m at 0.40% Cu. Extends Shallow Mineralization to the NW *2026-06-24T06:00:00-04:00* Andina Copper Intersects 186m at 0.50% Cu from 38m, within 502m at 0.40% Cu. Extends Shallow Mineralization to the NW (TheNewswire) | [](https://www.pampametals.com/) | | --- | | | June 24, 2026 – Vancouver, British Columbia. - TheNewswire - Andina Copper Corporation (TSX-V: ANDC | FSE: FIR | OTCQB: PMMCF) is pleased to report further outstanding drill intercepts from the Cobrasco Project in Chocó, Colombia. Drillhole CDH009 was drilled northwesterly from the same drill pad as CDH006, CDH007 and CDH008 ([refer 13 May 2026 News Release](https://andinacopper.com/news/news-2026/andina-copper-intersects-152m-at-067-cu-from-54m-within-22026-05-13-030003)) to a final depth of 954m. Results confirm a significant northwesterly extension of near-surface mineralization, with grades notably increasing from 38m downhole. Two additional drillholes, CDH010 and CDH011, have been completed from this same platform, with assays pending. Wide spaced scout drilling designed to assess the overall scale potential of the Cobrasco mineralized system is ongoing from a new platform located approximately 350m northwest of the previous drill site. HIGHLIGHTS: - CDH009 further confirms a significant northwesterly extension of the Cobrasco Central Cu-Mo mineralized system, returning: 502m @ 0.40% Cu, 73ppm Mo, 1.22g/t Ag from 38m Incl. 388m @ 0.44% Cu, 36ppm Mo, 1.28g/t Ag from 38m Incl 186m @ 0.50% Cu, 22ppm Mo, 1.48g/t Ag from 38m - Results expand the drillhole-defined mineralized footprint at Cobrasco Central to approximately 1,200m by 550m, with the footprint continuing to grow through successive step-out drilling. Mineralization remains open in all directions. - Mineralization persists to the end of CDH009 at 954m; however, copper grade decreases at depth as the intensity of overprinting sericite alteration and associated chalcopyrite–bornite mineralization progressively transitions to a lower-grade potassic-altered domain. - Additional step-out drillholes CDH010 and CDH011 have been completed from the same platform to further extend the Cobrasco Central mineralized system. Geological logging indicates the mineralized system extends into both holes with assay results pending. - Preparations underway for introduction of second drill rig. Multiple drill targets and ongoing step-outs planned in the near-term. Joseph van den Elsen, Andina Copper President and CEO stated: “Andina Copper continues to systematically advance its scout drilling programme in a northwesterly direction with wide spaced fans of holes aimed at expanding the envelope of porphyry Cu-Mo mineralization. The results of hole CDH009 validate this approach, significantly extending shallow, near-surface copper-molybdenum mineralization 350m to the northwest. Incredibly, all nine drill holes reported to-date have returned wide intervals of high-grade, near-surface Cu-Mo mineralization. The current drill defined footprint of the Cobrasco mineralized porphyry system is approximately 1,200m x 550m and remains open in all directions. Mobilization of a second diamond drilling rig will expedite continued systematic and aggressive exploration and evaluation of the Cobrasco Central system and enable simultaneous testing of potential new porphyry centers” [](https://www.thenewswire.com/data/tnw/clients/img/15e1b2cb4a7ee79b397ff281642e9401.png) Click Image To View Full Size Figure 1: Cobrasco Project plan view (north zoom) showing CDH009 and recent drilling over copper-in-soil geochemistry. Surface geochemistry and field mapping indicate the system remains open to the north, northwest and west. Geology and Mineralization - Drillhole CDH009 Hole CDH009 was collared from the same drill pad as CDH006 - CDH008 (and subsequent holes CDH010 - CDH011) and drilled NW to test for the continuation of shallow mineralization previously intersected from this collar position, bisecting a wide untested area between drill holes CDH006 and CDH008. All holes completed thus far from this pad have intersected consistent intervals of shallowcontinuous moderate - high-grade Cu-Mo mineralization commencing immediately below the oxidized profile, which averages approximately 40m in thickness. Hole CDH009 (Az: 292oDip: -55º Depth: 954m) was the fourth hole to be drilled from this drill pad, oriented NW at a relatively shallow dip designed to test approximately 545m horizontally and 780m vertically.
