In the ever-evolving landscape of mineral exploration, opportunities that promise significant returns are rare gems. The recent acquisition of the Los Loros copper-moly porphyry project by Lodestar Minerals (ASX:LSR) in Chile is one such opportunity.
In this interview, Coraline Blaud, Executive Director of Lodestar Minerals, joins Mining.com.au to walk us through why this underexplored, outcropping porphyry system could be a game-changer—especially with modern geophysics and drilling finally coming to a project that hasn’t seen serious exploration in over 50 years.
Key topics discussed:
- The Los Loros Porphyry Project (Chile): Outcropping copper-moly system with an overprinting epithermal gold component (including historic high-grade hits).
- Why it’s been overlooked: Less than 5,000m of historical drilling and minimal focus on the porphyry itself.
- What’s next: Planned IP and magnetics surveys, plus drilling targeted for the coming months.
