About Piuquenes Project
Piuquenes is located in San Juan, Argentina, within the Central Andes Miocene Porphyry Belt, one of the world’s premier copper–gold porphyry districts, and ranked the #1 mining jurisdiction in Latin America by the Fraser Institute (2019). The project sits in a zone that hosts some of the world’s largest copper deposits and is surrounded by Tier-1 projects operated by major mining companies. This exceptional geological setting makes Piuquenes a standout address for copper exploration.

Andina Copper Intersects 164m at 0.70% Cu, 0.44g/t Au within 468m at 0.50% Cu, 0.30g/t Au in initial discovery drilling at Piuquenes North>
Drillhole PIU13 at the previously undrilled Piuquenes North target in San Juan, Argentina returned 468m grading 0.50% Cu, 0.30 g/t Au and 3.04 g/t Ag from 700m, including 164m at 0.70% Cu, 0.44 g/t Au and 4.19 g/t Ag from 924m, within a multiphase porphyry system intersected between 664m and 1,168m downhole. PIU12, collared about 600m east-northeast, returned 14m at 0.38% Cu from 864m. The 800m by

Diamond drill holes PIU12 and PIU13, the first to test the 800m by 700m low-resistivity magnetotelluric anomaly at the Piuquenes North target in San Juan Province, Argentina, were completed to 992.60m and 1,235m and intersected porphyry-style copper sulphide mineralization. PIU13 cut four porphyry intrusive phases, with the strongest visible chalcopyrite-bornite mineralization from 848m to 1,045m

Drilling continues at the Piuquenes copper-gold project in San Juan Province, Argentina, where PIU09 was completed in January 2026 to 799.5 m and intersected multiple porphyry mineralized zones, with visually stronger mineralization logged from ~565–635 m; assays are pending. PIU10A is currently being drilled between the Piuquenes East and Central zones. A December magnetotelluric survey defined a

A ~3,000 m diamond drilling program begins in the first week of January 2026 at the Piuquenes copper-gold project in San Juan, Argentina, running through April 2026 and initially testing a parallel magnetic (MVI) anomaly and extensions about 200 m below the PIU06-2025 hole, which returned 208 m @ 0.31% Cu, 0.13 g/t Au, 1.24 g/t Ag from 292 m. Underway are 600 soil samples on 100 m x 100 m grid, 10
