Isidro
Background
The Isidro Project is located 85 km east of the coastal city of La Serena, and north of and close to the Camaron Project.
Metminco owns 100% of the Isidro tenements (covering 269 km2) and a 50% interest in the San Lorenzo tenements (covering 20 km2).

Geology
Isidro is a predominantly copper-gold manto (blanket) style early stage exploration project, occurring at elevations of approximately 2000-3000 metres.
Like Camaron, the north trending Vicuna Fault crosses the Isidro and San Lorenzo tenements. The Vicuna Fault is the major regional control on mineralisation. The project area is characterised by small copper-gold-silver bearing hydrothermal hematitic breccias as well as larger manto style deposits.
Exploration
Metminco has completed a wide spaced surface sampling program over the San Lorenzo tenements.
Future exploration at Isidro will comprise prospect scale mapping, as well as further broader reconnaissance mapping and geochemical sampling, assisted by satellite imagery.
