Andina Copper Hits 76m at 1.00% Cu Near Surface at Colombian Porphyry Discovery

Andina Copper Corporation has confirmed high-grade, near-surface copper mineralization at its Cobrasco porphyry copper-molybdenum discovery in Chocó, Colombia. Drillhole CDH014, drilled steeply to the northeast from the same pad as the previously reported CDH013, intersected a broad zone of 212 meters at 0.50% copper from just 52 meters downhole, including 76 meters at 1.00% copper and a higher-grade interval of 32 meters at 1.48% copper. The results confirm the extension of shallow, high-grade mineralization to the northwest of the previous drill pad, strengthening the case for a sizable near-surface resource at Cobrasco.

Separately, First Lithium Minerals Corp. reported results from its winter sedimentary brine geochemical sampling program at the Salar de Ascotan project in the Antofagasta Region of Chile. The program, conducted in August 2026, involved the collection of brine samples from 60 drill holes sunk to target depths of between 1.0 and 1.5 meters below surface using a portable manual auger drill system. First Lithium trades on the CSE under the symbol FLM, on OTC Pink as FLMCF, and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange as X28.
