Casale Sur - Copper | Gold Target Adjacent to Newmont's Mega Cerro Casale (6,000m Trenching)
Casale Sur (“Southern Casale”) is a block of property claims that Gold Hart Copper strategically acquired from the Chilean government auction when the land became available.
Casale Sur is a historic asset, sitting just East of Gold Hart’s existing Cachitos property and immediately south of the mega Barrick Newmont-GoldCorp Cerro Casale (Norte Abierto JV), displaying a strong aster anomaly. The property has had 6,000m+ (6km) of trenching completed.
Professor Dr. Jose Frutos believes that there is potential for the Cerro Casale mega-gold-copper porphyry system to extend onto the Cachitos and Casale Sur property blocks.
Casale Sur is a strategic asset, and was historically referred to as the “Caillal Claims” held by another company for years until the asset became available at the auction.
Casale Sur - Strategic Asset Adjacent to Barrick's Cerro Casale & Gold Hart's Cachitos
Casale Sur is an excellent example of Gold Hart Copper opportunistically acquiring properties directly from the government of Chile via auction. The auction was held for Tierra Amarilla for the first time in 12 years, and Gold Hart was able to prepare for certain assets of interest.
Gpld Hart believes the reason Casale Sur has been a property of interest for other companies, is due to a unique satellite aster anomaly consistent with other mineral deposits in Gold Hart. Importantly, Casale Sur has had 6,000m+ of trenching; significant exploration campaigns. For a property to have received so much historic work (when gold and copper were trading at $350/oz and $1.00/lb, respectively); indicates that the property has demonstrated considerable potential.
Given Casale Sur is immediately adjacent to Gold Hart Copper property Cachitos – and at similar stages of development – the two projects can be synergistically explored and developed together.

CASALE SUR - ADJACENT TO CERRO CASALE & OWNED OUTRIGHT BY GOLD HART COPPER
Casale Sur is 100% owned by Gold Hart Copper. Like all Gold Hart properties, there are no royalties associated with the asset. Casale Sur is adjacent to Barrick & Newmont-GoldCorp’s Cerro Casale (mult-billion dollar Norte Abierto joint venture).
Casale Sur has very strong argillic and locally silico-argillic alterations of N-S elongation. In the field, samples with frequent hematoids (hematoid quartz – quarz + iron – similar to jasper) and other oxides have been consistently recognized, with the presence of Fe varying between 5-10% and S up to 2%. These signals coincide regionally only with the Toro sector, a highly favourable attribute for Vicuna and Maricunga Copper-Gold Belt assets.
