Joshua Copper Project Update
AeroMag Nearing Completion and Drilling Company Contracted for Mid-September
Highlights
-
Drone-borne, high-resolution aeromagnetic survey nearing completion
-
Data from this survey will be used to map the internal structure (new potential zones of mineralisation) of the large (6.5km by 2km) Joshua Copper Porphyry Alteration System
-
The large footprint of this Porphyry-like Alteration System was only first identified in early 2018 using ASTER satellite data
-
Preparations are also well on-track to commence Stage 1 diamond drilling (3000m) by midSeptember 2018. The drill pads have been cleared and a drilling company with previous Joshua drilling experience is under contract to conduct the work
Manhattan Corporation Limited (“ Manhattan ” or the “ Company ”) is pleased to announce its planned aeromagnetic survey at the Joshua Copper Porphyry Project in Chile (“ Joshua Project ”) is nearing completion.
Aeromagnetic Survey
A high-resolution (50m flight lines) aeromagnetic survey is nearing completion at Joshua (full details in Table 1). This survey will for the first time enable interpretation of the complexity and full extent of the Joshua Porphyry-like Alteration System. ASTER satellite mineral alteration mapping conducted earlier this year highlighted a substantially larger footprint (6.5km by 2km) for the Joshua porphyry system than had previously been realized. Significantly, the ASTER alteration response mapped is similar to that of the large Andacollo porphyry copper deposit, which is located 45km northwest of Joshua currently operated by Teck Resources Ltd (refers to Figure 1 and 2).
About the Joshua Copper Project
The Joshua Project is located 350km north of Santiago in Chile’s coastal porphyry copper belt (refer to Figure 4). The 50 sq.km project area has all-year-round access and is favourably situated at low altitude, and close to infrastructure including ports, rail, roads and possible power and water solutions for any future mining scenarios.
The Joshua porphyry copper system is characterised by a regionally significant alteration anomaly (6.5km by 2km), centred on a zone of surface copper mineralization, brecciation and silica-tourmaline alteration. The broad alteration response at Joshua is similar to that of the Andacollo Cu-Au porphyry deposit located 45km to the northwest of the Joshua Project and operated by North American mid-cap company Teck.
The Joshua system was discovered by Helix Resources Limited is 2011 and since then only 16 holes have been drilled (2011, 2012 by Helix and subsequently by IMG Contractors in 2015). This drilling returned a number of significant copper intercepts, including 352m at 0.27% Cu, 240m at 0.22% Cu and 400m at 0.25% Cu.
For full details of exploration results, refer to the ASX announcements by Helix dated 10 August 2011, 28 March 2012, 8 June 2012, 17 December 2015 and 6 February 2016. Helix is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information in these announcements. Additional information can also be found in Manhattan announcements dated 8 June 2018, 26 June 2018 and 1 August 2018.
On 1 August 2018, Manhattan Corporation Limited (“Manhattan” or the “Company”) announced that it had completed the share placement announced 8 June 2018 to raise $3 million (“Placement”), and that the Placement met the final pre-condition of an option agreement with Helix Resources Limited for Manhattan to earn up to an 80% interest in the Joshua Porphyry Copper Project.

Stage 1 Diamond Drilling
Stage 1 diamond drilling is scheduled to commence by mid-September 2018 and will take approximately two months to complete. Holes will be logged, sampled and assayed sequentially, and all assay results for this program are anticipated to be back by mid-December 2018.

Drill hole locations were determined using a hand-held GPS. No down-hole surveys were conducted. RC drill cuttings were collected in a cyclone and split on-site. First-pass sampling was conducted using 2m composites, followed in a few cases with subsequently resampling on 1m intervals. Diamond core was sampled on 2m intervals, taking half or quarter core as a first pass and then with follow-up sampling at various intervals (=/<1m) to better understand particular lithological metal associations. The samples were collected by either the Drilling Contractors (RC cuttings) and supervised at all times by Helix staff, or by Helix staff (diamond core). The samples were under the direct control of Helix staff at all times and were transported to the laboratory by Helix staff. |
