Pecoy Copper Plans to Begin Drilling Operations Soon
Vancouver, British Columbia - Pecoy Copper Corp. ("Pecoy Copper" or the "Company") (TSXV: PCU; OTCQB: PCUUF) is excited to share that it will soon kick off drilling operations at its flagship Pecoy Copper-Gold-Molybdenum-Silver Project in southern Peru. This initiative marks a significant milestone for the project, as it aims to unveil the geological potential beneath the surface.
Comprehensive Preparation for Drilling Activities
This development follows extensive preparation, including renewal of essential permits and community agreements that are crucial for a successful drilling program. The Company is committed to conducting its operations in a safe, responsible, and transparent manner, ensuring that local communities are fully engaged in the process.
A Collaborative Approach with Local Communities
Pecoy Copper expresses gratitude to its local partners and stakeholders. The Company looks forward to a collaborative drilling campaign that respects the needs and interests of the surrounding communities throughout the project.
First Drilling Campaign in Nearly Ten Years
The upcoming drilling program will be the first at Pecoy since 2016, following the completion of substantial consolidation efforts. After successfully publicizing the project in September, the focus is now on expanding the mineralized areas and demonstrating the full potential of this large copper-gold-molybdenum system.
Revolutionizing Exploration with a Unified Strategy
Previously, various operators conducted explorations separately, which led to disjointed drilling efforts and gaps in data. With Pecoy Copper now managing the project, a cohesive strategy has been implemented. This approach is aimed at maximizing the exploration effectiveness, highlighting high-grade areas, and unlocking the long-term value of the Pecoy deposit.
Market Timing and Future Growth Potential
Vincent Metcalfe, CEO of Pecoy Copper, emphasized the significance of timing as copper and gold markets experience a notable uptrend. With the global shift towards electrification and infrastructure investment, initiating drilling at Pecoy aligns perfectly with rising market demands. This new phase of development promises to advance one of the most promising copper assets in the region while strengthening relationships with local communities.
Project Details and Infrastructure Advantages
The Pecoy Project extends over 9,975 hectares and is positioned in one of the most prolific copper belts globally. The current inferred resource at Pecoy totals 865 million tonnes at 0.34% copper, complemented by substantial gold, molybdenum, and silver credits. Despite the extensive size, less than 49,000 meters of historical drilling has been accomplished, hinting at significant potential for further expansion.
Situated at an elevation of approximately 1,650 meters, Pecoy offers year-round access and less operational complexity compared to higher altitude sites. Its location near the Pacific coast ensures excellent transport infrastructure, enhancing efficiency in project management from exploration to future development.
Engagement with Investors and Stakeholders
The Company’s common shares are available on the TSX Venture under the symbol “PCU” and trade on the OTCQB under the symbol “PCUUF”. Pecoy Copper is dedicated to maintaining clear and open lines of communication with its investors and stakeholders, providing updates throughout the drilling activities.
