Libero Copper & Gold Corp. Completes Initial Work Program at Big Red in the Golden Triangle

Reconnaissance sampling has discovered visually exciting targets at the northern extent of the Copper Bowl target and at the Terry target, five kilometres to the northeast of Copper Bowl along the northern edge of the magnetic high.
Libero completed two holes of the planned drill program with a total of 588 metres drilled. Early onset of severe winter weather conditions prevented the Ridge high grade gold target from being drilled. Ridge will now be drilled in July 2020. Two holes were drilled in the Copper Bowl porphyry gold-copper target. From a visual review of the core, mineralisation appears to be associated with quartz-pyrite and banded carbonate-chlorite veins. Libero will release all results once received, compiled and interpreted, early in the new year.

About the Big Red Porphyry Gold-Copper Property
Big Red comprises 20 contiguous claims totalling 26,000 hectares in northwestern British Colombia, 45 kilometres southwest of Telegraph Creek along the Glenora Road. Big Red lies within the Golden Triangle 70 kilometres north of Galore Creek and 100 kilometres west of Red Chris.
The Golden Triangle is a geological province of prodigious gold and copper mineralisation and host to some of Canada’s most famous mines, including Premier, Red Chris, Snip, Brucejack and Eskay Creek. Within the Golden Triangle porphyry copper and gold, epithermal gold and silver and volcanogenic massive sulfide styles of mineralisation have all been recognised. At Big Red all three of these styles exist, indicating that a large mineralised system has been preserved from erosion. The primary porphyry gold-copper targets are peripheral to a distinct large magnetic-high feature and coincide with a radiometric potassium anomaly, copper, gold and molybdenum anomalies and a mapped Jurassic aged porphyry intrusion.

About Libero Copper & Gold
Libero holds a collection of porphyry deposits throughout the Americas in prolific but stable jurisdictions. The portfolio includes both exploration properties such as Big Red, a new gold discovery in the Golden Triangle, Canada, and high-quality deposits with significant resources but without any fatal flaws or significant holding costs. The Tomichi deposit in the United States and the Mocoa deposit in Colombia, both contain large inferred mineral resources. In total, the Mocoa and Tomichi properties contain 7.9 billion pounds of copper and 1.1 billion pounds of molybdenum. These assets are being advanced by a highly disciplined and seasoned professional team with successful track records of discovery, resource development, and permitting in the Americas.
