An update from Lundin Gold ( (TSE:LUG) ) is now available.

Lundin Gold has reported strong results from near-mine porphyry exploration around its Fruta del Norte gold mine in Ecuador, highlighted by the Sandia target delivering its highest-grade intercept to date, including 322.3 metres grading 1.08% copper equivalent. The company has now delineated several large, shallow copper-gold porphyry systems at Sandia, Trancaloma, Trancaloma West, and Castillo, significantly expanding their footprints and confirming robust mineralization continuity.

The newly confirmed Chontas discovery, located 7 kilometres south of Fruta del Norte and Trancaloma, establishes a fifth porphyry centre and extends the mineralized corridor from 5 kilometres to at least 10 kilometres. Management says these results underscore the scale and emerging district potential of the copper-gold belt adjacent to Fruta del Norte, with multiple drill rigs active as Lundin Gold works to define a large porphyry district that could enhance the mine’s long-term growth profile.
