Vicuña: Compelling New Geophysical Target on Trend with Filo Del Sol
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - May 12, 2025) - Mogotes Metals Inc. (TSXV: MOG) (FSE: OY4) (OTCQB: MOGMF) ("Mogotes", or the "Company") announces that the first line of 2025 geophysical survey has outlined a large-scale, near surface geophysical anomaly located on trend, 2.8 km South of the Filo Del Sol Copper - Gold - Silver resource1 owned by Lundin Mining and BHP. The geophysical anomaly coincides with previously announced surface expression of mineralization at the Los Mogotes copper in rock chip and alteration anomaly (see (TSXV: MOG) 7th May 2025 news release) and combined define a compelling drill target for porphyry and High Sulfidation (HS) copper-gold-silver mineralization. Figure 1 To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: Figure 2 To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: Readers are cautioned that information regarding the geology, mineralization, mineral resources, and production history on adjacent or similar properties is not necessarily indicative of the mineralization on Company's properties. Geophysical surveys are not definitive and do not carry any guarantee of a mineral discovery. CEO Allen Sabet commented: "This geophysical anomaly is looking like it might be a new porphyry and epithermal centre right on the Filo trend. This is exactly what we were hoping to find here - a near-surface strong geophysical response that is directly beneath our Los Mogotes copper rock chip anomalies. Our technical team is very encouraged to have seen such a strong anomaly on the first line of our geophysical survey right next door to the very large Lundin-BHP resource that was announced this week! We will be sharing more geophysical and rock chip results from this program as they come to hand in the coming weeks." New Los Mogotes MT / IP Geophysical Anomaly Located on the highly prolific Copper-Gold-Silver Mineral belt that has produced Filo Del Sol (FDS), Lunahuasi and Los Helados Discoveries (Figure 1 and 2). Los Mogotes geophysical anomaly is located directly on trend 2.8 km South of the limit of the FDS resource that remains open1 and undrilled toward the Mogotes Claims. Compelling geophysical anomaly at relatively shallow depths for drill testing (Figure 3a to c): Initial processing results show the top of the MT anomaly at <100 to 10 Ohm.m is located at depths of between 180m to 400m below surface. Large anomaly footprint suggested: Line L2 shows the MT anomaly <100 ohm.m to be 800m wide at along the length of the line and the encompassing chargeability anomaly, probably representing the pyrite halo, to be 1.7 km wide. Further data from the additional survey lines and VIP/MT will be needed to define the overall dimensions of the anomaly, however L2 has demonstrated the presence of a large scale strongly MT and IP anomaly surrounded with a large chargeable halo. This pattern is consistent with the geophysical signature of a concealed porphyry system. Geophysical Anomaly coincident with previously reported Los Mogotes rock chip copper and alteration anomaly (Figures 4a and b): The geophysical anomaly is located directly underneath the surface copper in rock chips and zoned alteration system recently announced at the new Los Mogotes prospect (see TSXv:MOG 7th May news release). Combined, the coincidence of geophysics, alteration patterns and geochemistry anomalies define a compelling target suggesting the potential for a concealed PCD/HSE deposit at relatively shallow depths at the prospect (Figure 5). More geophysics to come. These results are from the initial processing of the first line (L2), of a 4 line survey totalling 10.7 line km of Deep IP/MT (DDIP/MT) and additional wide spaced infill Vector IP/MT (VIP/MT) that define Mogotes 2025 geophysical program focused on the Company's recently optioned Chile claims. The Survey was designed to also test the Meseta, Cumbre and new Cuenca targets. Results from the initial processing of the additional geophysics will be reported over the coming weeks. Mogotes has use the Southern Rock Geophysics proprietary 3D VIP/MT system to survey the Chilean and Argentine sections of the Filo Sur project in 2023. The application of the sample technology and survey parameters will allow integrated 3D processing of the 2023 and 2025 surveys to build a 3D model of the whole project for target selection and prioritising for drill testing. Next Steps Receipt and reporting of: Additonal geophysical survey results (MT and DDIP) from Los Mogotes Target cluster The geophysical 3D model for MT and DDIP Assay results from the infill rock chip program at Los Mogotes porphyry target Assay results from the soil grid sampling program at the Meseta target Assay results from the trenching and rock chip sampling program on the Argentine sampling program.
