| Description | Pecoy Copper’s vision is to unlock the world-class potential of one of the largest copper-gold porphyry districts through responsible exploration and sustainable value creation for all stakeholders. The fully consolidated Pecoy Project hosts an open-pit inferred
mineral resource of over 6.45 billion lbs of copper at a grade 0.34% and open in all
directions. Its close proximity to the Pacific Ocean and low elevation make it uniquely
situated to supply global demand for Copper.
The Pecoy Project covers an area of 9,975 hectares across 19 concessions and is located
along the northwest extension of the Southern Peru Porphyry Copper Belt that also
hosts the large Cuajone, Toquepala, Quellaveco, Cerro Verde, Zafranal, and Cerro Negro
porphyry deposits. Mineralization at the Project is associated with a porphyry copper
system featuring well-developed supergene and primary zones, where copper occurs
mainly as chalcocite and chalcopyrite. At surface, mineralization is almost totally oxidized.
Leached, supergene, copper oxide, enrichment and transitional zones of the porphyry
copper deposit are leached to a maximum depth of 200 to 240 m. The secondary
enrichment zone has an average approximate thickness of 20 m, with a minimum of 2
meters and a maximum of 70 m. The primary mineralization extends to depths greater
than 1,000 m, with significant copper and gold values hosted in breccia bodies and
porphyritic intrusions that remain open laterally and at depth.
