The 2024 PEA, prepared by Ausenco, AGP, and Whittle, highlights robust economic results and ESG improvements since 2011. The project aims to produce an annual average of 158,000 tonnes of copper in the first 10 years.

Alta Copper Corp has announced the results of its 2024 Optimized Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for the Cañariaco Project. The assessment, prepared by Ausenco, AGP Mining Consultants, and Whittle Consulting, reveals a robust base-case after-tax NPV of $2.3 billion and an IRR of 24.1% using an 8% discount factor.
The project, located 700 km northwest of Lima, is estimated to produce 8.026 billion pounds of copper, 1.67 million ounces of gold, and 33.2 million ounces of silver over its life. With a 27-year mine life and pre-production capital cost of $2.2 billion, the operation targets average annual free cash flow of $538 million in the first 10 years.
Key economic metrics include C-1 costs of $1.86/lb copper and an all-in sustaining cost (AISC) of $1.96/lb copper. The PEA indicates significant leverage to copper prices, with a $0.25/lb increase in copper price adding approximately $425 million to the after-tax NPV.
The initial capital intensity is low due to favorable geographical and infrastructural settings. The detailed technical report will be available by June 7, 2024, on SEDAR+ and Alta Copper's website.
