Peruvian Metals Acquires a New Silver-Lead-Zinc Project in Northern Peru

Peruvian Metals Corp. (TSXV: PER) (OTC Pink: DUVNF) ("Peruvian Metals" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has acquired a new high-grade Silver-Lead-Zinc property (the "Property") by submitting a superior offer in a closed bid auction at the Peruvian Public Registry of Mining. Other bidders for the area included Newmont Peru S.R.L and Mitsui Mining & Smelting Co. The Company will designate a name for the project once it has discussed its intentions with the local community.

The new property covers an area of approximately 94 hectares and includes several old mine workings. The Property is road accessible from Lima by a well paved highway and by 50 kms of dirt road. Historical reports from the area by Banco Minero del Peru note that a metallurgical sample was taken from the workings that averaged 13.16 ounces silver per tonne ("oz/mt Ag") with 2.55% lead ("Pb") and 3.77% zinc ("Zn"). Results from the metallurgical test show that two concentrates can be produced with the first averaging 63.03 % Pb, 6 % Zn and 317 oz/mt Ag. The second concentrate averaged 61.9% zinc and 7.2% Lead. Please note that these results are historic and cannot be verified.

The area is underlain by Tertiary volcanics belonging to the prospective Calipuy formation. Company geologists verified the potential of the area by mapping and sampling the workings and stockpiles left by the previous operators. Ten samples were taken from old stockpiles in four different areas with values ranging from 0.06 to 1.24 grams gold per ton (g/t Au), 0.71 to 47.82 oz/mt Ag, 0.34% to 9.25% Pb and 0.13% to 4.93% Zn averaging 0.49 g/t Au, 12.93 oz/mt Ag, 2.62% Pb and 1.68% Zn. It is important to note and highly likely that much of the high grade extracted from the underground workings and stockpiled have been shipped to toll mills for processing.

The Company plans to initiate community discussions and plans to start the permitting process to reopen the underground workings for bulk sample extraction. The Property has good infrastructure but will need to be improved. Another site visit by the Company will be necessary this year to take additional samples for metallurgical tests and determine the condition of the underground adits for permitting purposes.

The Company's Aguila Norte Processing Plant ("Aguila Norte") is accessible mainly by paved highway from this new project. Aguila Norte has an environmental permit ("IGAC") from the Peruvian government and is currently at capacity of 100 tonnes per day level. The Company expects to replace third party mineral with polymetallic mineral from this new area and from its 50% own Palta Dorada Au-Ag-Cu property. The Company can expand Aguila Norte's throughput beyond 100 tonnes per day once the mineral supply exceeds the capacity.

Jeffrey Reeder, CEO of Peruvian Metals, comments: "We are very pleased to acquire this attractive silver rich polymetallic property. This acquisition is in line with the Company's main goal to secure its own feed for the Aguila Norte Processing Plant. This new addition to the Company's property portfolio yet again demonstrates Peruvian Metals' ability to grow organically without entering expensive third-party option deals."

Nicholas Frappell: Gold Price Targets for 2024 and Key Drivers to Watch

When asked if the American central bank can achieve a soft landing, Frappell said he's inclined to say yes.

China’s Youth Snapping Up Gold "Beans" as Country Faces Deflation

There's a new bean-sized gold rush taking Chinese youth by storm.

Young people in the country have started to invest in the yellow metal, but not by purchasing traditional bars and coins. Rather, Gen Z is going after “gold beans” — pea-sized gold pieces that weigh about a gram and cost around 600 yuan (US$83). They come in small glass jars and double as ornaments for fashionable and financially conscious youth.

While it's typically older age groups that want to add gold to their portfolios, sales in China have been propelled this past year by young investors, with overall buying jumping by 12 percent from January to October 2023.
