Advanced brownfield Copper project in Choapa Province of Chile

  • Proximity to major infrastructure, exploration sites are easily accessed by
  • road 223 km North of the capital city of Santiago de Chile
  • Access to paved roads, a power grid, and a water supply

Permitted for exploration, rock sample grades show 1.39% Cu

  • Regulatory Approvals in place for immediate project advancement
  • Attractive copper, silver and gold grades enhancing economic viability

Vortex Metals will have a working interest on the remainder of the project with potential to expand the resource significantly

  • Focus on exploration and discovery of a sizable and economical deposit
