Los Andes Copper: Developing One of the Largest Advanced Copper Deposits in Chile

Los Andes Copper (TSXV:LA) is strategically positioned to leverage Chile’s prominent past-producing geological positioning and take advantage of rising copper prices despite production disruptions from COVID-19 in 2020.  The company’s flagship Vizcachitas Copper-Molybdenum Project is 100 percent owned and is one of the largest advanced copper deposits in South America. The company expects to publish its PFS in late 2021.

The project is located approximately 150 kilometers northeast of Santiago with accessible water resource networks and good infrastructure. It operates on the same geological belt that has historically hosted competitive and clean grade copper production. This includes the Rio Blanco-Los Bronces deposit, which has seen over 101 million tonnes of contained copper.

Additionally, the deposit has a measured and indicated resource of approximately 1.28 million tonnes at a copper grade of 0.40 percent and a copper equivalent grade of 0.45 percent. Total mineralization estimates also include 11.2 billion pounds of copper, 400 million pounds of molybdenum and 43.4 million ounces of silver.
