Drilling at El Pantano in Argentina hits mineral system
-
Assays for 5 holes from the Pepas useful resource drilling program, together with:
-
Useful resource modelling and NI43-101 report course of underneath method
-
First holes from El Pantano drilling program affirm a low sulphidation epithermal mineral system – awaiting assays.
LONDON, GB / ACCESS Newswire / December 12, 2025 / Orosur Mining Inc. (“Orosur” or the “Firm“) (TSXV:OMI,OTC:OROXF)(AIM:OMI), is happy to announce an replace on the progress of exploration actions on the Firm’s exploration initiatives at Anzá in Colombia (“Anzá) and El Pantano in Argentina (“El Pantano”).
Anzá – Colombia
The Anzá Mission in Colombia includes various granted exploration titles and functions totalling roughly 330km2, throughout the Mid-Cauca gold belt, west of the town of Medellin.
These titles and functions are owned by two Colombian firms, Minera Anzá, and Minera Monte Aguila, each of that are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Firm. The latter of those was acquired by Orosur in November 2024 from the Firm’s earlier JV companions, Newmont Mining and Agnico Eagle Mines. Orosur thus owns 100% of the Anzá Mission.
Since buying 100% management, the Firm has focussed its consideration on three prospects:
-
Pepas – a shallow, high-grade physique of gold mineralisation that the Firm is endeavouring to maneuver to an preliminary Mineral Useful resource Estimate (‘MRE’) within the close to time period.
-
APTA – a high-grade physique of gold mineralisation that has thus far seen 38,000m of drilling, however just isn’t but sufficiently understood geologically to permit a MRE to be calculated. The Firm plans to undertake extra drilling at APTA in 2026, with the target of advancing it towards an MRE.
-
El Cedro – a big gold porphyry system within the south of the Mission space. The Firm has accomplished a big soil sampling program and plans to undertake a maiden drill program right here in early 2026.
Determine 1. Anzá Mission
As introduced on 14th July 2025, the Firm had taken the formal resolution to begin infill drilling at its Pepas gold prospect at Anzá, with the target of transferring Pepas to a NI43-101 compliant Mineral Useful resource Estimate as shortly as doable.
The Firm’s exterior geological and useful resource consultants visited the Anza website firstly of November to hold out the mandatory QAQC verification of drilling and sampling and to work with the Orosur geological workforce within the growth of a brand new NI43-101 technical report for the Anza venture, which can embody a MRE for the Pepas Prospect.
One consequence of this go to was the advice by the consultants for an extension of the ultimate phases of the MRE drill-out program, with a number of extra holes inside and out of doors the Pepas deposit to outline the boundaries of the present deposit envelope and acquire a greater understanding of the dimensions and controls of beforehand outlined high-grade zones.
Holes drilled outdoors the deposit envelope have returned the decrease grade halo mineralisation as anticipated and have supplied precious data as to the character of the among the controlling buildings of Pepas. The one gap of this present batch drilled contained in the deposit envelope (PEP-067) returned a results of 83.7m @ 4.29g/t Au from floor.

Desk 1. Newest drill Intercepts, Pepas Prospect
Determine 2. Plan of holes
Determine 3. Part, PEP067
It’s anticipated that the Pepas drill-out program will proceed for the following few days and the ensuing MRE and technical report can then be accomplished throughout January 2026.
Metallurgy
As a part of the MRE course of, a big diameter PQ drill gap was accomplished particularly to supply ample materials for a complete metallurgical testing program. These samples have been despatched to the metallurgical testing facility of ALS International in British Columbia, the place the work is now properly superior. It’s hoped this program could also be accomplished by the tip of the yr and thus feed into the Technical Report and MRE.
Wider Exploration – Anza
The Firm had beforehand introduced that it had deliberate to undertake an in depth airborne magnetic survey over the EL Cedro and APTA prospects in December, as a device to supply extra steering for drilling in early 2026. The Firm is partaking with contractors to fee the survey.
Mapping, sampling and trenching can also be underway within the environs of the Pepas deposit, as a part of an ongoing program to probe for extensions and/or repetitions of Pepas. As soon as the present useful resource drilling program is accomplished in coming weeks, it’s doubtless the rig shall be shifted to targets being developed round Pepas.
El Pantano – Argentina
The El Pantano Mission is an early-stage gold/silver exploration venture in Santa Cruz province, southern Argentina.
The Mission includes roughly 550km2 of contiguous granted licences within the prolific Deseado Massif of Santa Cruz Province, roughly 45km from Anglo Gold’s Cerro Vanguardia mining camp and 90km SE of Newmont Mining’s big Cerro Negro mine.
El Pantano is topic to an Exploration & Joint Enterprise (“JV”) settlement (“Settlement”) with non-public Argentinean firm Deseado Dorado S.A.S and its shareholders (“Deseado”), the main points of which have been introduced on February 15th 2022.
The Firm at the moment owns 51% of El Pantano, having met its obligation to spend US$1m in exploration expenditure by February 2025. The Firm is now in Section 2 of the three way partnership, whereby it could earn an extra 49% fairness within the venture (taking the Firm to 100% possession) by investing US$2m within the two years to February 2027. Upon such an occasion, the unique distributors would retain a 2% NSR royalty, 1% of which the Firm might buy for US$1m at its discretion.
Following a number of years of floor discipline work, the Firm commenced the primary section of drilling ever undertaken throughout the venture space in early November 2025. Between 3,000-4,000m is deliberate throughout the breadth of the venture space as a reconnaissance program designed to handle various geological questions:
-
Check sources of geochemical anomalism
-
Assess quite a lot of Induced Polarisation responses
-
Intersect, if doable, mineralised buildings indicative of the low sulphidation epithermal mannequin being postulated at El Pantano
-
Acquire understanding of the vertical variations within the system, particularly in relation to the potential for fluid boiling.
In a normal sense, the broad goal of this system is to find out if a mineral system is current at El Pantano, and if that’s the case, develop exploration plans for additional work.
Determine 4. El Pantano geology and geochemistry
Samples from the El Pantano venture are despatched to the preparation facility and hearth assay laboratory of Alex Stewart Laboratories in Perito Moreno to be assayed for gold. Pulps are then despatched to the bigger Alex Stewart facility in Mendoza for multi-element evaluation.
To this point, seven holes have been accomplished with samples from the primary 5 submitted to the laboratory in Perito Moreno for hearth assay gold evaluation, to be adopted by multi- factor evaluation, together with silver, from the Mendoza facility.
Visually, a number of of the holes have intersected extraordinarily encouraging buildings displaying textures and mineralogy according to what’s seen in different low sulphidation epithermal programs within the area. Specifically, the presence of colloform banding in a number of intersected slim veins is a key indicator typically seen within the core of low sulphidation epithermal programs.
Preliminary interpretation would counsel that vein textures are indicative of decrease temperatures, albeit with some examples of upper temperature overprinting. This is able to counsel that present drilling remains to be larger within the system, above the boiling zone.
Fig 5. Colloform banding, El Pantano
The Firm is assured that it has achieved its normal goal of proving the existence of a considerable mineral system. That is a particularly constructive and strange end result for the primary drilling program on a grass roots venture. The problem, nonetheless, is figuring out the place, throughout the mineral system, financial widths and grades might have been deposited.
Drilling is progressing quicker than anticipated and thus it’s deliberate that this program shall be accomplished towards the tip of January 2026. As soon as full, all new and historic information shall be compiled as the important thing element to a focusing on program that can develop the following section of labor.
Orosur CEO Brad George commented:
“Pepas is now within the last mile of its MRE course of and the items are coming collectively for a January report. Within the meantime, we’re lining up targets for when the rig is freed up later in December. Drilling at El Pantano, as with every undrilled venture, was excessive danger, however now we have hit what we hoped to hit – a beforehand unknown mineral system. Now we have to focus in, and given the size of the system, that may be a problem….however a superb problem”.
