About Panoro

Panoro is a uniquely positioned Peru focused copper exploration and development company. The Company is advancing its flagship project, Cotabambas Copper-Gold-Silver Project and its Antilla Copper-Molybdenum Projects located in the strategically important area of southern Peru.

Panoro has completed strategic partnerships at four of its projects:

  1. Wheaton Precious Metals - Precious Metals Purchase Agreement, Cotabambas Project;
  2. JOGMEC - Joint Venture, Humamantata Project;
  3. Hudbay Minerals – NSR Royalty and Cash sale, Kusiorcco Project; and
  4. Mintania – NSR Royalty and Cash sale, Cochasayhuas Project.

These partnerships would provide US$ 13 million of funding, if all funding is received, to Panoro from 2021 to 2024, not including the potential NSR royalties from the Kusiorcco and Cochasayhuas Projects.

At the Cotabambas Project, the Company is focused on delineating the growth potential while optimizing the project economics. Exploration and step-out drilling from 2017, 2018 and 2019 has identified the potential for both oxide and sulphide resource growth.

The PEAs are considered preliminary in nature and include Inferred Mineral Resources that are considered too speculative to have the economic considerations applied that would enable classification as Mineral Reserves. There is no certainty that the conclusions within the updated PEA will be realized. Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.
