Tierra Roja Copper Project, Peru

A large, untested copper system in the southern coastal belt.

Arequipa, Peru Copper Option to 100%

Tierra Roja is an exploration-stage copper porphyry target in Peru’s southern coastal belt. The core of the property is a circular alteration system with silica–sericite alteration and copper oxides (malachite, chrysocolla, brochantite) beneath a thin sulphate/caliche crust. Mineralization is hosted in a multiphase intrusive complex and surrounding andesitic volcanics. The surface footprint is large; drilling is required to test what lies beneath.

High-grade core

Copper oxides with grades > 2% copper, exposed over an 800 m by 600 m core zone, with an IP target at depth. No previous drilling on the core target.

Scale potential

3,670 ha tenure with widespread alteration and mineralization away from the core area, largely covered by caliche.

Next steps

  1. Commence a focused drill program to understand mineralization at depth in the core zone
  2. More widespread exploration to define the system and its extents
  3. An in-fill drill program contingent on results from the initial drill program
