Coppernico Metals eyes major Copper discovery

Coppernico Metals CEO Ivan Bebek joined Steve Darling from the Vancouver Resources Investment Conference to share news about the company’s progress toward what could become a major copper discovery in Peru. Bebek outlined how Coppernico has transitioned from years of preparatory work into an active drilling phase, with exploration resuming in April. He explained that the company will test four out of 17 major targets over an 18-month campaign, with 50 to 60 planned drill holes. These targets are considered analogs to some of the world's most significant copper deposits, including Las Bambas. “This is an analog to Las Bambas,” Bebek noted, “and we’re seeing tens of meters of 1% or 100 to 200m of half a percent or better copper right on surface.” He added that these trenching results represent some of the best surface sampling the company has achieved to date. The company has overcome significant social and geopolitical challenges over the past nine years, and Bebek emphasized its strong relationship with local communities. Coppernico has created over 100 jobs in the last year and introduced agricultural initiatives to improve health and economic outcomes in the Andes. As the permitting process progresses smoothly, Coppernico now finds itself at what Bebek described as “day one” of the discovery phase. With major shareholders like Teck and Newmont on board since the company went public, the outlook is promising for high-impact copper exploration in a supply-constrained global market. #proactiveinvestors #coppernicometals #tsx #copr #otcqb #cppmf #vric2026 #IvanBebek #CopperExploration #MiningInPeru #DrillProgram2026 #JuniorMining #CopperDiscovery #CommodityMarkets #ElectricFuture #ResourceInvesting #ProactiveInvestors #CopperSupplyCrisis
