Panoro Minerals (POROF) reported geophysical results indicating potential extensions of copper-bearing mineralization at Target #7 of its Cotabambas project in Peru.
The surveys indicate potential for S2 skarn, a mineralized rock zone, to extend beyond 500 m depth and widen from 50 m at surface to over 200 m at depth. S1 and S3 show potential vertical continuity beyond 250 m and 300 m, respectively. Selected surface samples returned copper grades of 11.90% at S2, 11.02% at S1 and 14.87% at S3. Panoro is completing 23 trenches, each 100 m to 200 m long. After trenching and sampling, the company plans up to 17 drillholes, each 300 m to 400 m long, to test extensions. Drilling is planned to begin before year-end, funded from existing capital.
Panoro Minerals (POROF) signed a five-year surface access agreement with the Cochapata community for its Cotabambas project in Peru.
The agreement covers all community lands and allows the next phase of North Pit drilling to begin. The North Pit shell constrains 150 million tonnes of the current 222 million tonnes of higher-grade resources. Panoro plans approximately 10,000 m of drilling to expand and better define those resources and upgrade their classification to Indicated, a higher-confidence resource category.
Panoro plans an updated resource estimate in early 2027, a Preliminary Economic Assessment by mid-2027 and a Pre-Feasibility Study by year-end 2027. South Pit drilling access agreements are already completed. The new agreement includes investment commitments for education, local employment, infrastructure and seniors, and provides for acquiring land near Cusco for the community.
Panoro Minerals (POROF) has signed a new cooperation agreement with the Municipality of Cotabambas to support social development while advancing the Cotabambas copper, gold and silver project in Peru. The agreement focuses on upgrading local roads and access routes across the eight neighborhoods of the municipality to improve connectivity, infrastructure and living conditions, reflecting development priorities defined by the neighborhood presidents.
The agreement continues a history of similar arrangements with prior municipal administrations and is presented as evidence of the project’s benefits to the district. Panoro highlights its ongoing engagement with the community, including participation in the July 29, 2026 Independence Day parade. The release reiterates Cotabambas’ mineral resources and notes that the current drill program is targeting expansion of higher-grade resources.
Panoro Minerals (POROF) reported new assay results from drillholes CB-229 and CB-230 at the Cotabambas copper-gold project in Peru, extending high-grade mineralization around the South Pit. CB-230 intersected 808.15 m of hypogene mineralization grading 0.31% CuEq1, including 156.50 m at 0.55% CuEq1 and a 48.10 m zone at 0.76% CuEq1 within the Principal Porphyry dike/diorite. CB-229 cut 303.30 m in diorite host rock averaging 0.29% CuEq1, including 69.90 m at 0.62% CuEq1.
The results indicate high-grade continuity from surface to about 1,100 m depth and along roughly 600 m of strike, with mineralization remaining open to the north, south, southwest and at depth. CB-230 also intersected about 34 m of Endoskarn-style mineralization and finished in Principal Porphyry, which the company views as evidence for potential massive skarn development beneath the South Pit. The current high-grade resource component totals 222 million tonnes and already supports the existing mine design.
Panoro Minerals (POROF) reported new assay results from drillholes CB-229 and CB-230 at the Cotabambas copper-gold project in Peru on 6 September 2026.
CB-230 intersected 808.15 m of hypogene mineralization from 296.35 m to 1,104.50 m, averaging 0.22% Cu, 0.10 g/t Au and 1.53 g/t Ag, including 156.50 m with 0.38% Cu and 0.22 g/t Au and a 48.10 m interval with 0.57% Cu, 0.25 g/t Au and 4.08 g/t Ag within the Principal Porphyry dike and diorite.
CB-229 cut 303.30 m in diorite host rock averaging 0.14% Cu, 0.13 g/t Au and 1.30 g/t Ag, including 69.90 m at 0.27% Cu, 0.32 g/t Au and 1.83 g/t Ag. The company highlights continuity of mineralization, including the high-grade component, from surface to about 1,100 m depth and along roughly 600 m of strike, with mineralization remaining open in several directions and evidence of Endoskarn-type mineralization at depth.
