Resource Estimate: Indicated resource of 475 million tonnes grading 0.88% CuEq, plus an Inferred resource of 1.5 billion tonnes grading 0.75% CuEq. Valeriano is adjacent to the El Encierro deposit, majority owned by Antofagasta, and operates within a mineralized belt hosting deposits from major operators including BHP, Agnico Eagle, and others.

The project comprises 15 exploitation and 14 exploration concessions totaling 6,126 hectares, with an additional 14,550-hectare surface rights package acquired in September 2025. The property features two distinct mineralized systems: a near-surface oxidized epithermal gold deposit extending to 100 meters depth, and an underlying copper-gold porphyry deposit at greater depths. As of the 2025 resource update, the project contains 475 million tonnes grading 0.88% CuEq (indicated) and 1.5 billion tonnes grading 0.75% CuEq (inferred).
