Drilling

With a strong NPV at todays copper and molybdenum prices the PA's Copa Sectioneconomic model shows that even more significant value can be unlocked by a slight increase in copper grades in the first years of the projects estimated 24 year mine life. In this regard the Company is preparing an infill drill program to target the adjacent Sulfato South copper rich zone and add even more value to the Copaquire copper-molybdenum-rhenium project
.

Geological, geophysical and previous drill data indicate the presence of a copper supergene enriched zone in the porphyry system at the adjacent Sulfato South Zone. This enriched blanket-like zone contains higher copper grades than the Cerro Moly zone which is molybdenum rich. Grades from previous drilling in this Sulfato zone ranged from 0.50% to 1.40% copper, with a thickness range between 10 to 40 meters approximately.
