Lara Exploration Ltd. reported the final results of the recently completed 9,100m diamond drill program at the Planalto Copper Project. A significant new zone of shallow copper mineralization was identified in the northern extension of the Cupuzeiro target where drill hole 23-018 intersected 21.49m @ 0.583% Cu from 43.51m down hole. This hole is located approximately 500m to the north of the near surface Cupuzeiro high-grade copper zone.

De deeper copper intersections in this same area of the Cupuzeiro targets were identified in holes 23-016 (16.3m @ 0.55%Cu from 310.7m down hole) and in hole 23-021 (28m @ 0.358%Cu from 246m down hole) Significant new intersections in the east and north of the Homestead target include holes 23-013 (with 54.52m @ 0.529%Cu from 311m down hole) and 23-020 (with 24.8m @ 0.641%Cu from 88m down hole).

All the drill core is cut and sampled under the supervision of the company's Vice President Exploration and the chain of custody of the drill core from the Project area to the Company's sample preparation facility in Canaa dos Carajas was continuously monitored. Sample intervals for the drill core were mostly maintained at about 2m with some variation in the weathered saprolite zones and at times guided by the degree of copper mineralization.ank, duplicate core or certified gold and copper reference materials were inserted at approximately every 10th sample. The pulps were subjected to multi-acid digestion with copper and 47 other elements were determined by ICP-MS. Gold was determined by fire assay fusion and an ICP-AES finish on a 30-gram charge.
