Aldebaran Intercepts 649.40 m of 0.54% CuEq, Including 354.00 m of 0.72% CuEq at the Altar Copper-Gold Project
Lithology: The hole intersected a package of strongly fragmental dacitic crystal tuffs from surface to 139 m depth.

- This sequence is crosscut by a series of late diorite dykes from 1,124.90 m to 1,165.50 m depth.
- A well-developed copper enrichment zone occurs from the base of oxidation at 274 m to 450 m depth.
- Two zones of secondary copper enrichment characterized by the occurrence of chalcocite-covellite on pyrite and chalcopyrite occur from 168 m to 235 m depth and from 323 m to 374 m depth.
