ABOUT OROCO:

 

The Company holds a net 85.5% interest in those central concessions which comprise 1,172.9 hectares “the Core Concessions” of the Santo Tomas Project, located in northwestern Mexico. The Company also holds an 80% interest in an additional 7,861.3 hectares of mineral concessions surrounding and adjacent to the Core Concessions (for a total project area of 9,034.2 hectares, or 22,324.4 acres).  The Santo Tomas Project is situated within the Santo Tomas District, which extends up to the Jinchuan Group’s Bahuerachi Project, approximately 14 km to the northeast.  Santo Tomas hosts significant copper porphyry mineralization defined by prior exploration spanning the period from 1968 to 1994.  During that time, the project area was tested by over 100 diamond and reverse circulation drill holes, totalling approximately 30,000 meters.  Commencing in 2021, Oroco conducted a drill program (Phase 1) at Santo Tomas, with a resulting total of 48,481 meters drilled in 76 diamond drill holes.  In May of 2023 the Company completed a Mineral Resource Estimate for the Core Concessions which identified an Indicated and Inferred resource totalling 1.087 billion tonnes of 0.36% CuEq.

 

The Santo Tomas Project is located within 160 km of the Pacific deep-water port at Topolobampo and is serviced via highway and proximal rail (and parallel corridors of trunk grid power lines and natural gas) through the city of Los Mochis to the northern city of Choix.  The property is reached by a 32 km access road originally built to service Goldcorp’s El Sauzal Mine in Chihuahua State.
