About the Carol copper project.
The Carol copper project covers over 750 hectares and is located in southern Sonora state, Mexico, approximately five km northeast of the producing Piedras Verdes copper mine, Mexico’s third largest. Operated by Cobre del Mayo SA de CV, the mine produces over 70 million pounds of copper annually, at a cash cost of $1.62 per pound copper, with an estimated mine life remaining of 17 years (Cobre del Mayo presentation, October, 2013).
At Carol, polymetallic (copper-silver-zinc-gold) skarn mineralization has been outlined in two mineralized zones: one measuring 1,100 metres by 400 metres and the second 700 metres by 180 metres. Due to extensive, shallow overburden, the true extent of mineralization is unknown.
Tosca has the right to acquire a 100-per-cent interest in the Carol project from Alta Vista Ventures under an option agreement further described in its Oct. 14, 2013, news release.
