Tierra Roja Copper Project, Peru

A large, untested copper system in the southern coastal belt.

Arequipa, Peru Copper Option to 100%

Tierra Roja is an exploration-stage copper porphyry target in Peru’s southern coastal belt. The core of the property is a circular alteration system with silica–sericite alteration and copper oxides (malachite, chrysocolla, brochantite) beneath a thin sulphate/caliche crust. Mineralization is hosted in a multiphase intrusive complex and surrounding andesitic volcanics. The surface footprint is large; drilling is required to test what lies beneath.

Tierra Roja ground position
Land & depth target

About 3,670 ha core and about 8,170 ha including regional ground, with an IP target at depth.

Property Location

About 3,670 hectares core (about 8,170 hectares including regional ground) in the coastal desert of Arequipa, at the northern end of Peru’s southern porphyry copper belt, about 20 km from the Pan American Highway.

The property is road-accessible, arid, and on federal land with no resident communities on the claims.

  1. Complete the remaining drill-authorization steps
  2. Complete remaining drill-authorization steps and commence a focused drill program to understand mineralization at depth in the core zone
  3. More widespread exploration to define the system and its extents
