LUCA INTERSECTS 118 METRES OF 2.5 G/T GOLD, 78.0 G/T SILVER, 0.8% COPPER, 0.6% PB AND 2.0% ZINC AT LARGO NORTE ZONE, CAMPO MORADO MINE

Luca Mining reported high-grade underground drill results at its Campo Morado VMS mine that expand the unmined Largo Norte zone and strengthen near‑term resource potential. Key intercepts include CMUG‑26‑38: 118.2m at 2.53 g/t Au and 77.89 g/t Ag, and CMUG‑26‑39: 100.7m at 2.80 g/t Au and 90.72 g/t Ag, with multiple thicker and higher‑grade subsections. The program (47 underground holes, 10,880m; plus 44 surface holes, 11,570m) aims to add mineable resources for the 2026–2028 plan. For markets, the release is positive for Luca’s valuation and for sentiment toward gold‑exploration equities; the direct impact on the global gold price (XAUUSD) is likely limited, but continued resource additions across producers can influence investor appetite for gold miners and precious‑metals exposure. The results reduce geological risk at Campo Morado and support potential production and cash‑flow upside, which could boost LUCA equity and sector flows into mining/precious‑metals investments.
