Tribeca Resources Corporation (TSXV: TRBC | OTCQB: TRRCF) has announced the identification of multiple priority drill targets at its Jiguata high sulphidation epithermal-porphyry copper project in northern Chile, following integrated analysis of 2026 geological, geochemical, and geophysical exploration data. The company has highlighted La Soberana and Cetro Dorado as its two most advanced alteration centres, with Phase 1 drilling proposed to commence initially at La Soberana. Two additional targets — Escudo Real and El Trono — have also been identified as warranting further follow-up surface work, adding scale to the broader project.

Key Points

  • Tribeca Resources Corporation (TSXV: TRBC | OTCQB: TRRCF) released integrated exploration results from its 10,000-hectare Jiguata Project in the Tarapacá region of northern Chile
  • Multiple high-priority Cu-Mo-Au porphyry and Au-Ag-Cu epithermal drill targets defined, with La Soberana and Cetro Dorado identified as the most advanced alteration centres
  • La Soberana covers an interpreted 2.5 km x 1.5 km porphyry/epithermal target zone; Phase 1 drill holes are planned to depths of more than 700 metres at elevations of approximately 4,600 metres
  • Investors may be watching for drill program commencement timelines, community engagement outcomes, and any updates on the El Trono geochemical results, which remain pending

La Soberana and Cetro Dorado Emerge as Lead Drill Targets at Jiguata

La Soberana has been interpreted as a compelling 2.5 km x 1.5 km porphyry/epithermal target zone, supported by overlapping Mo-W-Bi ± Cu porphyry-style geochemical anomalism and an epithermal As-Sb-Te ± Ag-Au overprint. Advanced argillic alteration, hydrothermal breccias, coincident geophysical responses, and a location at the intersection of two major structures underpin its prioritisation. Cetro Dorado displays what the company describes as the strongest lithocap-style geochemical and alteration expression identified at Jiguata to date, with elevated As-Sb-Te ± Ag-Au anomalism, advanced argillic alteration, and multiple geophysical responses supporting it as a priority drilling area.

2026 Field Program Dataset Underpins Integrated Jiguata Exploration Model

The 2026 exploration program incorporated results from 672 soil samples, 149 rock-chip samples, detailed alteration mapping, hyperspectral analysis, magnetic surveying, reprocessed IP data, and magnetotelluric surveying and modelling. Samples were submitted to ALS Patagonia in Copiapó, Chile, for multielement geochemical analysis, with reference standards and duplicates comprising approximately 10% of each batch for QA/QC purposes. The company states these integrated datasets are consistent with preservation of the upper levels of a porphyry-epithermal hydrothermal system at Jiguata, where high sulphidation epithermal environments may occur above, adjacent to, or telescoped over Cu-Mo-Au porphyry intrusive centres.

Community Engagement Underway Ahead of Proposed Phase 1 Drilling at La Soberana

Tribeca Resources disclosed that community engagement has commenced in preparation for the proposed Phase 1 drill program, with initial drilling proposed to begin at targets within the La Soberana alteration centre. Planned drill hole depths exceed 700 metres, with drill platforms at elevations of approximately 4,600 metres. The company noted that all targets remain conceptual until tested by drilling, and that as additional exploration data are acquired, target rankings and exploration priorities may be refined. The immediate share price impact was not clear from available public information.
