Copper Giant Expands Mocoa Resource with High-Grade Drill Results
Event summary
- Copper Giant intersected 257 meters of 0.63% CuEq in infill drilling at Mocoa, Colombia.
- Hole MD-056 identified higher grades at depth along the southern margin, potentially linking to a third high-grade zone.
- Hole MD-057 confirmed resource model predictability, supporting future PEA-level evaluation.
- Drilling continues at full capacity with two rigs, using directional drilling to improve efficiency.
The big picture
Copper Giant's latest drill results reinforce Mocoa's potential as a district-scale opportunity, aligning with the broader trend of resource expansion in underexplored Jurassic porphyry belts. The use of directional drilling and mother holes reflects a strategic shift toward more efficient exploration, critical for advancing the project toward pre-feasibility. The intersection of higher grades at depth suggests the fertile intrusive architecture may extend further, reinforcing the deposit's long-term viability.
