Lundin Gold Discovers Two New Copper-Gold Porphyries, Increasing District Total to Seven; Targets Early 2027 Maiden Resource Estimate for Sandia Porphyry

Lundin Gold has announced the discovery of two new copper-gold porphyries, Sandia Northeast and Sandia Southeast, bringing the total number of identified porphyry centers in the Fruta del Norte district to seven. Ongoing drilling at the Sandia deposit has expanded its footprint significantly with several long intercepts of copper-gold mineralization, reinforcing its status as the largest and highest-grade system in the area. The company is now targeting a maiden mineral resource estimate for the Sandia porphyry in early 2027, marking a key advancement in its exploration program.
