The company owns 100% of the Valeriano copper-gold project located 125km east of Vallenar in north-central Chile's "Link Belt". The company is focused on definition and extension of the copper-gold porphyry resource, expansion of the high-grade breccia B2B zone above the porphyry horizon and step out drilling. 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.

Active mining projects and exploration sites
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). ATEX Resources achieved 100% ownership in December 2024 and has completed multiple drilling phases demonstrating mineralization continuity and high-grade zones.
