About Panoro
Panoro is advancing its significant portfolio of copper and gold
projects in the key Andahuaylas-Yauri belt in south central Peru,
including its advanced stage Cotabambas Copper-Gold-Silver-Molybdenum
and Antilla Copper-Molybdenum Projects.
Since 2007, the company has completed over 70,000 m of exploration
drilling at these two key projects leading to the delineation of
mineral resources in late 2013 of:
|
Cotabambas:
|
|
Indicated Resource 117.1 Mt @ 0.42% Cu, 0.23g/t Au, 2.74 g/t Ag &
0.001%Mo (@0.2% Cueq cutoff)
Inferred Resource 605.3 Mt @ 0.31% Cu, 0.17g/t Au, 2.33 g/t Ag and 0.002
%Mo (@0.2% Cueq cutoff)
(Tetra Tech, 2013).

Panoro continues its exploration at the Cotabambas project while a
Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) is underway by AMEC Americas
Ltd. The PEA is due for completion in the fall of 2014. The already
significant resource, together with significant geologic potential,
demonstrate the potential for a large scale open pit mine at the
project. To date exploration at the Cotabambas Project has focused on
the Ccalla and Azulccaca deposits. However, at least eight other
porphyry and skarn target zones have been identified within the
company's Cotabambas mineral concession blocks. Drilling at these
targets is planned.
A PEA for the Antilla Project is also planned for completion in the fall
of 2014. The moderate scale of the resource at the Antilla Project
together with strong infrastructure in the area indicate the potential
for a moderate scale open pit copper project.
In addition to the Cotabambas and Antilla Projects, Panoro's portfolio
includes more than 10 earlier stage projects in primarily the same
region of south central Peru. Peru's national objective of doubling
copper production together with the development of the many copper
projects in the region, together with the private and public
investments into rail, road, power generation and transmission and port
infrastructure are leading to the rapid growth of an important global
center for copper production. Panoro's large portfolio is situated
here along with the Las Bambas, Tintaya, Antapaccay, Haquira,
Constancia, Las Chancas and Trapiche projects all of which are either
in exploration stage, construction or already in production.
