Lodestar Minerals has expanded its copper exploration footprint in Chile through new acquisitions and drilling activities.

The company entered an option agreement to acquire the Pacifico Copper-Molybdenum-Gold Porphyry Project in the Atacama region. This project covers a 22km² area featuring a six-kilometer prospective porphyry corridor with historical drilling data indicating mineralization at depths exceeding 700 meters.

Following this acquisition, Lodestar reported drilling results from its Three Saints Iron Oxide Copper-Gold (IOCG) Project. A diamond drill hole reached 611.10 meters, intersecting skarn alteration with cobalt and copper mineralisation. While exploration continues, the company noted that drilling at its Los Loros Project has faced delays due to El Nino weather conditions affecting road access.
