Colquemayo Project
Project Highlights
Strategically Located in a World-Class Copper District
Premier Mining District
- Moquegua, Southern Peru — surrounded by billion-ton copper deposits
- Similar belt as Quellaveco, Toquepala, & Cerro Verde
Excellent Access & Infrastructure
- Road access to Arequipa (100 km) and Ilo port (200 km)
- Grid power, water infrastructure, and skilled workforce
Geological Footprint with Scale
-
12 km trend with district scale enargite-bearing lithocap
-
Potential for large porphyry systems at depth
Clear Ownership Path & DIA Approval
- King Copper holds an option to acquire 100% of Colquemayo
- DIA approval received, enabling the next phase of exploration
- 36,010 m fully funded drill program planned across 5 high-priority targets
Unexplored opportunity
12 km of Strike of Enargite-Bearing Lithocap Overlying Untested Porphyry Potential
Proven Near-Surface System
- 12 km corridor of alteration with high-grade epithermal zones
- 26,000m of previous shallow drilling across 76 holes
- Widespread enargite mineralization in a district-scale lithocap
- Geological similarities to Filo del Sol, Valeriano, Lunahuasi, and Lepanto
Vectors Pointing to Porphyry at Depth
- Enargite zones interpreted as potential caps to deeper porphyry intrusions
- Past drilling and mapping provide key vectors for follow-up
-
Testing large scale porphyry centers beneath the enargite lithocap
Next Steps for Discovery
- Upcoming planned drill program will test high-priority porphyry targets at depth
- Focused on areas with alteration and geophysical indicators under enargite zones
"Past shallow high-grade drill results, a very large enargite-bearing lithocap, and a geological setting with striking similarities to projects such as Filo Del Sol are indicative of the underlying porphyry exploration potential at Colquemayo.”

DIA APPROVAL
What This Milestone Means
Mobilization
Advancing logistical planning and site preparation for the upcoming drill campaign
Systematic Drill Test
Testing priority porphyry targets identified through historical drilling, mapping, geophysics and recent technical work
Deep Porphyry Potential
Drilling designed to evaluate targets beneath the enargite-rich lithocap
.
District Scale Evaluation
Advancing the Company’s understanding of multiple mineralized centres across the broader Colquemayo system
Follow-Up Discovery Work
Using initial drill results to refine targeting and guide the next phase of exploration
Primed and ready
Multiple High-Grade Results with Porphyry Targets Ready for
Follow-Up
Targeting Large Porphyry Systems
- Beneath a highly mineralized lithocap with widespread enargite
- Planned drill program: up to 36,010m across 5 high-priority targets
- Drill holes up to 1,500m deep, designed to test for large-scale porphyry mineralization
Path to Drilling
- DIA approved and advancing preparations for the fully funded 36,010 m exploration program
- Active community engagement to support transparent advancement
Key Targets
Untested Depth Potential
Across Key Zones
High-Grade Copper-Silver within Epithermal Breccias
- Broad intervals of high-grade copper-silver mineralization
- Enargite-rich system suggests an underlying porphyry source
- Future drilling will test deeper feeder zones to grow the footprint
Expanding the System
- Strong copper-gold mineralization confirmed in recent drilling
- Step-out drilling planned to connect zones and define scale
- Targeting expansion of a large-scale, continuous system
