International PBX Ventures Ltd.: Copaquire Drill Program Update
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA–(Feb. 25, 2010) – International PBX Ventures Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: PBX) is pleased to provide an update on its preparations for the upcoming drill program on the Copaquire copper molybdenum project in northern Chile.
Camp facilities have been delivered and assembled on site to accommodate drillers, geologists and support staff. A D8 Cat is preparing drill sites for the proposed 5,000 meter drill program. Even though this is considered to be a “dry year” for northern Chile plenty of water is available on site from the Quebrada Guatacondo (Guatacondo Creek). Photos of the creek, camp and site preparations can be viewed on the company’s website www.internationalpbx.com. Drilling at the Sulfato South copper zone is estimated to commence in the first week of March.
“We are very excited about getting a drill program started again on our Copaquire copper molybdenum property,” said George Sookochoff, President of International PBX. “Our final hole in our previous drill program (2008) intercepted grades of over 1.0% copper in the Sulfato South copper zone and we are anxious to continue drilling and develop this high grade copper area.”
