Chile

— The Location

Why Chile

Surrounded by big, operating copper systems — and majors are leaning in.

Nearby major mines/districts (same regional systems):

  • Candelaria (Lundin Mining)

    large Cu-Au complex ~20 km S of Copiapó with long mine life and desal infrastructure.

  • Mantos Blancos (Capstone Copper)

    open-pit Cu mine ~45 km from Antofagasta; long-life stratabound/IOCG end-member.

  • Mantoverde (Capstone Copper)

    multi-pit Cu mine on the Mantoverde/Atacama fault, sulfide + oxide (new expansion, large resources).

The Majors Are Pivoting Here

Majors sharpening focus in the region

Rio Tinto × Codelco

“Nuevo Cobre” JV advancing a district-scale copper concept in Atacama via a joint committee and funded concept studies.

Rio Tinto × Codelco

Maricunga (lithium) JV (up to $900M) underscores Tier-1 conviction and Chile alignment.

Rio Tinto

Altoandinos (lithium) 51% award expands Atacama footprint.

Investor Takeaway

Our Atacama projects sit in the right rocks, right postal code—where majors are investing, infrastructure exists, and scale discoveries are probable and get rewarded.

2026/2027 Program
— Chile

Tierra de Oro (Atacama Chile)

Geology:

Potential Cu-Ag stratabound in Hornitos Formation volcaniclastic rocks; large NE structure + NNW veins.

At surface:

Malachite/Chrysocolla dissemination in lithic tuffs—north & south outcrops.

Geophysics:

Convergence of strong mag + IP; central IP body ~1.2 km long x ~450 m avg width x ~200 m high; conceptual potential discussed as ~300 Mt @ ~0.5–1.5% CuT (conceptual – not a resource).

Targeting:

IP volume (Leapfrog), ZTEM analytical signal tying to the Llano Tirado intrusive feeder.

AI outcome:

Two main target zones along a structural corridor (NW and SW).

2026 plan:

~4,000 m across 10 targets.

Why it matters:

IOCG style = potential for scale + grade with strong economics when mineralized.

Planned Drill Holes on the Chancero Porphyry Target

— Chile

Chanchero Porphyry Target

  • Recent geophysical reinterpretation has identified a compelling undrilled target located 200–250 metres below surface.

  • Historical copper and copper-molybdenum geochemistry directly above the anomaly supports the potential for a mineralized porphyry system, while the geophysical signature suggests the target may represent the core of that system.

  • A nearby untested area showing lead-zinc sulphide indicators presents potential for a secondary skarn-style discovery, adding further exploration upside.

Key Technical Points: 2026 magnetic inversion of ZTEM data reveals discrete anomaly spatially offset from 2020-drilled IP chargeability anomaly. Magnetic feature inferred to reflect magnetite alteration within porphyry system core. Cu-Mo soil association confirmed above target.

Elisa de Bordos Fault Corridor

  • Historical drilling has confirmed near-surface copper-silver mineralization along the structure, and two additional untested targets — Goblin and San Juan South — have been identified for 2026 exploration.

Selected Historic Intercepts:

12m @ 0.7% Cu

40.6 g/t Ag • TDO-RC-56

7m @ 0.64% Cu

24.6 g/t Ag• TDO-RC-58

5m @ 0.8% Cu

19.2 g/t Ag• TDO-RC-47

Fault extends ~5 km across Tierra de Oro • Goblin & San Juan South targets untested • 2026 season priority

Jaqui Prospect – Proposed Soil Sample Locations
— Chile

Jaqui Prospect – Manto Target

  • Jaqui has been elevated to a high-priority target based on multiple independent datasets.

  • Geophysical surveys have identified both chargeability and conductivity anomalies associated with the structure, while a recent ANT survey has further refined the target geometry and assisted in planning drillholes for the 2026 exploration program.

Palo Negro (Atacama Chile)

Location:

40 km south of Copiapó, Coastal Iron Belt that hosts Mantos Blancos, Mantoverde, Candelaria.

Setting:

Sparse outcrop; La Osornina (historic Cu-Fe) immediately north.

Geophysics:

NE structural domain with IP solid aligning to mag trend; ANT indicates intermediate–low velocities

Thesis:

Significant IOCG potential along the NE domain; drill planning to follow TDO results.
