Pecoy Copper Hits Second Kilometre-Scale Copper-Gold Intercept in Peru
Event summary
- Pecoy Copper intersected 1,020.50 m of 0.43% Cu and 0.09 g/t Au in drill hole PEC-25-066, a second consecutive kilometre-scale intercept in the South Breccia Zone.
- The intercept extends mineralization approximately 306 m below the current resource pit shell and ended in mineralization at 1,068.5 m.
- The broad interval includes higher-grade sections, reinforcing the potential for a higher-grade domain within the South Breccia system.
- Phase 1 drilling has completed 4,911 m, with plans to increase to five active drill rigs during the summer.
The big picture
Pecoy Copper's latest drill results confirm the scale and continuity of the South Breccia Zone, reinforcing its potential as a higher-grade domain within the broader Pecoy system. The results come at a time when copper demand is expected to rise due to global infrastructure and energy transition needs, positioning Pecoy Copper to benefit from favorable market dynamics. The company's strategic location in southern Peru, with year-round access and proximity to infrastructure, further enhances its development potential.
