About Panoro

Panoro is advancing its significant portfolio of copper and gold projects in the key Andahuaylas-Yauri belt in south central Peru, including its advanced stage Cotabambas Copper-Gold-Silver-Molybdenum and Antilla Copper-Molybdenum Projects.

Since 2007, the company has completed over 70,000 m of exploration drilling at these two key projects leading to the delineation of mineral resources in late 2013 of:

Panoro continues its exploration at the Cotabambas project while a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) is underway by AMEC Americas Ltd.  The PEA is due for completion in the fall of 2014.  The already significant resource, together with significant geologic potential, demonstrate the potential for a large scale open pit mine at the project.  To date exploration at the Cotabambas Project has focused on the Ccalla and Azulccaca deposits.  However, at least eight other porphyry and skarn target zones have been identified within the company’s Cotabambas mineral concession blocks.  Drilling at these targets is planned.

A PEA for the Antilla Project is also planned for completion in the fall of 2014.  The moderate scale of the resource at the Antilla Project together with strong infrastructure in the area indicate the potential for a moderate scale open pit copper project.

In addition to the Cotabambas and Antilla Projects, Panoro’s portfolio includes more than 10 earlier stage projects in primarily the same region of south central Peru.  Peru’s national objective of doubling copper production together with the development of the many copper projects in the region, together with the private and public investments into rail, road, power generation and transmission and port infrastructure are leading to the rapid growth of an important global center for copper production.  Panoro’s large portfolio is situated here along with the Las Bambas, Tintaya, Antapaccay, Haquira, Constancia, Las Chancas and Trapiche projects all of which are either in exploration stage, construction or already in production.
