Sombrero Expanded Permit Issued. Drilling Soon. U.S. Acquisition Plans – Coppernico CEO Ivan Bebek
Coppernico Metals (TSX:COPR; OTCQB: CPPMF; FSE: 9I3) CEO Ivan Bebek explains the major Sombrero Copper-Gold Project permitting milestone in Peru, which now allows drilling of up to 300 holes from 181 drill-pad platforms. The EIA-Sd permit was received in 7–8 months versus a typical 12–18 months, even after delays tied to Peru’s election. The next step is a 30–60 day “start of activities” approval, targeting drilling by September/October, beginning at the Fierrazo target which has shown 232m of .47% Cu surface channel samples and historical holes returning 0.5–0.9% copper over tens of meters. Bebek discusses a $5.5M financing impacted by market/geopolitical uncertainty, Teck maintaining ~9.9% ownership, plans for a larger 60–65 hole, 18-month program across multiple targets, claim optimization to ~57,000 hectares with 12 targets, improving mining sentiment in Peru, and evaluation of potential large-scale U.S. acquisitions after reviewing 240 projects, plus upcoming marketing and conference outreach.
