Pecoy Copper Identifies Large Untested Target at Peru Project
Event summary
- Pecoy Copper defined four principal geophysical targets (MTP-01 to MTP-04) at its Pecoy Project in southern Peru, with MTP-01 being the largest untested opportunity.
- Recent drilling (PEC26-067) returned 209.0 m grading 0.40% Cu, including higher-grade intervals, strengthening the mineralized vector toward MTP-01.
- A fourth drill rig has been allocated to systematically test the MTP-01 target, which measures approximately 1.2 km wide and 1.0 km in vertical extent.
- The integrated geophysical interpretation combines 3D MT resistivity modeling with historical and recent drilling data.
The big picture
Pecoy Copper’s identification of the large MTP-01 target underscores the potential for significant resource expansion at its Pecoy Project, located in one of the world’s most prolific copper belts. The systematic approach to testing this target reflects a strategic shift from broad exploration to focused drilling, which could position the project for future development. The project’s favorable infrastructure and location in a mining-friendly jurisdiction further enhance its strategic value.
