CPO

CPO has commenced its maiden drill programme at Vista Montana, adjacent to the Lana Corina Cu-Mo discovery, testing continuity of prior intersections that averaged ~1.0% CuEq over 100–450m downhole. Early-stage exploration on a micro-cap with 18 months' cash at current run-rate; results will be the primary near-term catalyst.

Culpeo has secured access to Vista Montana and will commence maiden diamond drilling in early September targeting a 1km-distant extension of the Lana Corina Cu-Au-Ag-Mo corridor, with historical drilling at Lana Corina returning robust grades (0.96–1.23% CuEq over 100–450m intervals). The four-hole programme is backed by geophysical and geochemical work and will test high-priority porphyry-style targets before a planned IP survey.

IP survey has defined two priority copper-gold drill targets with strong chargeability anomalies coinciding with surface mineralisation (>1% Cu) and historical small-scale mining evidence, positioning CPO to test subsurface porphyry/IOCG mineralization in the Chilean belt. Immediate drilling planned at both El Quillay North and West following completion of El Quillay South program.
