Investor presentation summary
29 Oct, 2026Cangallo discovery
100%-owned porphyry copper system drilled from surface to 800m; mineralisation extends over 1.5km+ of strike and 250–500m width, and remains open along strike and at depth.
54 RC and 5 diamond holes totalling 25,000m drilled since Dec 2024; CANDD003 ended in mineralisation at 880m.
Broad intercepts include 555m @ 0.26% Cu; selected higher-grade results include 12m @ 1.10% Cu and 68m @ 0.52% Cu.
Two CSAMT target areas have resistivity signatures similar to the main porphyry system; large parts of the footprint remain untested.
Location and development potential
Located 8–10km from the coast at 500–1,200m elevation, near the Pan-American highway and a grid power corridor, with potential port access.
Oxide and supergene copper observations extend from near surface to ~300m; heap-leach amenability is to be tested in Q4 2026–H1 2027.
Hypogene sulphide mineralisation extends to depths greater than 700m; the source porphyry has not yet been intersected.
No Mineral Resource or Ore Reserve has been estimated; drill intercepts are down-hole lengths and true widths are unknown.
Work program and catalysts
Stage 4 drill permits received, with 20 additional pads planned, focused in the south; drilling is intended to test extensions, depth and potential porphyry centres.
Stage 3 diamond-drill assays, Stage 4 RC and diamond drilling, metallurgical test work and further permitting form the upcoming work program.
Planned work includes testing oxide and supergene copper recovery profiles and preparing permits for detailed infill drilling.
