Rokmaster Resources Corp. Discovers New Copper Area on Pinaya Project Peru
![Rokmaster Resources Corp. Discovers New Copper Area on Pinaya Project Peru](https://www.minenportal.de/media/goldseiten-news.jpg)
Rock chip sample results from an argillic altered 300 x 400 metre area hosted by porphyritic andesites yielded highly anomalous copper and silver values. Mineralization includes fracture controlled malachite and chrysocolla associated with moderate to strong limonite oxidation. This new porphyry target is located on trend 10.5 km southwest of the Western Porphyry resource area (9.5 km from the nearest drill hole) and immediately southeast of the Saitocco Zone. Reconnaissance rock chip samples within the area contained up to 2.91 % copper with 36.0 g/t silver and 0.946 % copper with 120.0 g/t silver, over two metre sample widths in fractured host porphyritic andesites. All analytical work was carried out by ACME Analytical Laboratories Ltd., an ISO 9001 & ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory in Vancouver, BC, Canada. More work is recommended for this zone, known as Plata Sur, including mapping, rock sampling, and trenching.
SITE WORK COMPLETED
1. Results from 4,290 soil samples were received recently and are being compiled and interpreted.
2. Additional property wide prospecting, geological mapping, soil and rock sampling were completed under the supervision of Pinaya Project Director, Kenneth Konkin, P. Geo.
3. Generation of six high quality porphyry copper gold and oxide gold diamond drill targets on the Pinaya trend.
SITE WORK IN PROGRESS
1. Preparation for submission of the 20 platform diamond drilling and trenching permit application, together with the Environmental Impact Statement and the Pinaya Community agreements, is near completion.
2. Compilation of geological, geochemical, geophysical and historical drill data by the Pinaya technical team continues. The work includes:
a. definition of the principal ore controls, geological host, alteration type and intensity.
b. definition of the principal geological characteristics of the Tintaya, Antapaccay and Las Bambas deposits and compare these to Pinaya.
c. provision of general guidelines of the major lithologic types, structural relationships and alteration features of gold dominant low sulphidation and intrusive hosted copper-gold mineralized zones.

ABOUT ROKMASTER
Rokmaster is a mineral exploration and development company working in North and South America. The Company has two mineral exploration projects including the Pinaya copper gold project in southern Peru. While these properties are largely at early stages of development they represent exiting opportunities for the discovery of significant precious and base metal mineralization as evidenced at Pinaya (Gold Oxide Zone: Measured + Indicated ("M+I") mineral resources of 6,401,000 tonnes @ 0.79g/t Au and Inferred ("Inf") of 2,383,000 tonnes @ 0.59g/t Au and in the NW and West Porphyry Zone; M+I : 32,269,000 tonnes @ 0.43g/t Au + 0.39% Cu and Inf : 35,412,000 tonnes @ 0.27g/t Au + 0.40% Cu.*). Rokmaster's business model is to utilize its highly experienced team of mineral explorationists and developers to discover significant mineral resources and aggressively advance such projects, and to expose its shareholders to significant capital gain in the near term.
* (The mineral resource estimates are disclosed by Rokmaster at www.sedar.com or www.rokmaster.com in a National Instrument 43-101 Report dated July 26, 2012 titled "Independent Technical Report on the Pinaya Gold/Copper Property, Caylloma and Lampe Provinces, Peru, for Rokmaster Resources Corp." By prescribed definition, "mineral resources" do not have demonstrated economic viability. An Inferred mineral resource is that part of a mineral resource for which quantity and grade can be estimated on the basis of geological evidence and limited sampling and reasonably assumed, but not verified, geological and grade continuity. The mineral resources fall within a volume or shell defined by long-term metal price estimates of US$3.00/lb for copper and US$1,100.00/oz for gold.)
Kenneth G. Konkin, P. Geo., Consulting Geologist and Project Director for the Company, is a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43.101-Standards For Disclosure of Mineral Projects, and has reviewed and approved the technical disclosure of this news release.
