This grassroots exploration project represents a unique opportunity to explore for high-grade Copper and Gold/Silver mineralization amenable to U/G exploitation and/or shallow open pit exploitation at a time when a new copper cycle is beginning. Over 22,000 hectares of copper mines are expected to be covered in this venture. Small third-party claims located within the perimeter of the larger land package are currently being mined by "Pirquineros" with significant oxide Cu mineralization being direct shipped to Enami leaching facilities in Copiapo. These "windows" of mineralization are widespread and together with geological mapping, paint a clear picture of the potential to host similar mineralization.
