RM Research Outlines Potential Rerating of Culpeo Minerals Driven by Chilean Copper Projects

Description

Australian market analyst firm RM Research projects a potential rerating of Culpeo Minerals (ASX:CPO,OTCQB:CPORF), a copper exploration and development company, to more than $100 million market capitalization, driven by potential success in either of the company’s high-grade copper projects in Chile.


ASX-listed Culpeo Minerals maintains two copper projects in Chile - Lana Corina and Fortuna - both located in Chile’s Coastal Cordillera, targeting district-scale, underexplored mineralised systems.

“RM Research maintains a speculative buy on the back of the potential to outline high-grade copper-molybdenum at Lana Corina which we believe has potential for mineral resources of +80Mt (million tons) @ >0.80 percent CuEq (copper equivalent,” RM Research stated in its analyst report dated April 16, 2024.

Culpeo recently increased its ownership of Lana Corina to 50 percent, earning 80 percent to 100 percent. Recent drilling at Lana Corina showed copper-molybdenum mineralization over a strike length of 2 to 3 kilometres.

“The return of a drill rig to Lana Corina is imminent with extensions of breccia/porphyry hosted mineralisation being targeted as well as deeper copper and molybdenum associated with the silica cupola. Further surface geochemical results are also due this quarter from the La Florida Prospect,” the analyst report cited as near-term catalysts.

The Fotuna property is 10 kilometres north of Lana Corina, comprising three prospects along a 3-kilometre strike length. Results of recent drilling at Fortuna include 26 metres @ 0.81 percent copper equivalent, with elevated surface channel and rock chip samples up to 1.3 percent copper and 2.4 grams per ton gold.


Report highlights:

  • Culpeo has increased its ownership of Lana Corina, where recent drilling returned impressive results of copper and molybdenum, over a 2 to 3 kilometre strike length. Near-term drilling will likely target extensions of the wide high-grade copper mineralisation hosted within the outcropping breccia pipes and associated porphyry intrusion.
  • Achieving success in either the Lana Corina or Fortuna projects may lead to a rerating of Culpeo Minerals to more than $100 million market capitalization.
  • RM Research maintains a speculative buy for Culpeo, driven by the potential to define the high-grade copper-molybdenum at Lana Corina, with a possible mineral resource of more than 80 million tons @ more than 0.80 percent copper equivalent.

What Was the Highest Price for Copper?

Strong demand in the face of looming supply shortages has pushed copper to new heights in recent years.

With a wide range of applications in nearly every sector, copper is by far the most industrious of the base metals. In fact, for decades, the copper price has been a key indicator of global economic health, earning the red metal the moniker “Dr. Copper.” Rising prices tend to signal a strong global economy, while a significant longer-term drop in the price of copper is often a symptom of economic instability.

After bottoming out at US$2.17 per pound, or US$5,203.58 per metric ton (MT), in mid-March 2020, copper has largely been on an upward trajectory.

Copper Soars to All-time High as Trump Unveils 50 Percent Tariff on Imports

US President Donald Trump said Tuesday (July 8) that he plans to impose a 50 percent tariff on all copper imports, a dramatic escalation of his administration’s use of targeted trade restrictions on national security grounds.

“I believe the tariff on copper, we're going to make 50 percent,” Trump said during a White House cabinet meeting.

Though he did not provide a timeline, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said in a subsequent CNBC interview that the tariff could take effect by late July or as early as August 1, with details to be posted on Trump’s Truth Social account.
