Gold Hart Copper Corp. has returned multiple zones of anomalous gold, copper, and silver from the first-ever comprehensive geochemical soil survey at the Nessa complex within the Domeyko Fault System in Chile.

The survey covered approximately 1,400 hectares—representing about 10% of the 13,500-hectare property package—with 780 samples analyzed by ICP. Individual samples returned up to 3,235 ppm copper, 401 ppb gold, and 36 ppm silver. The element associations observed are compatible with polymetallic epithermal-style mineralization, and the soil geochemical anomalies coincide with known magnetic anomalies across the project area.

“I was very excited to see several exceptionally high-grade samples from this first geochemical soil survey at Nessa, with individual samples returning up to 3,235 ppm copper, 401 ppb gold, and 36 ppm silver. In fact, on some occasions I remarked that these sorts of grades would be more commonly found in a rock-geochemical survey than a soil-geochemical survey like this one. But perhaps more interestingly, the soil geochemical anomaly appears to coincide very nicely with the known magnetic anomaly, once again pointing to Nessa as offering some highly compelling targets for exploration and advancement.” — Rodrigo Alejandro, Vice President

The Nessa properties are situated along the Domeyko Fault System in Chile, positioned northwest of Rio2's Fenix gold deposit and just west of Kinross' La Coipa gold mine. While several elevated zones occurred near historic mining pits, the survey identified new areas requiring follow-up attention.

Gold Hart plans to conduct detailed geological and structural mapping, trenching surveys, and geophysics at the Nessa complex before advancing to the drilling stage.

Alongside the Nessa exploration, Gold Hart filed a pedimento application for the historic Copioso gold, copper, and silver mine to expand its property portfolio in Chile, and the company awaits assay results from seven reverse circulation drill holes targeting the high-grade trench at the Tolita project.
