- Five priority target areas identified for expansion, including South Breccia and Central Breccia zones.
- Tororume project, 8km north of Pecoy, to receive 5,000m of drilling to assess district-scale potential.

The big picture
Pecoy Copper's aggressive 2026 exploration program reflects the growing focus on expanding existing copper resources in Peru, one of the world's most prolific copper belts. The company's strategy to advance multiple mineralized centers aligns with industry trends toward developing large, multi-centre copper systems to meet rising global demand. The project's low elevation and proximity to infrastructure position it favorably for potential future development.
