Frontier Exploration (‘FrontierX’) is pleased to announce an agreement with Vale Base Metals (‘VBM’) to explore for large-scale porphyry copper systems in a prolific mineral belt of Southern Peru.

Highlights

  • Vale Base Metals holds a globally strategic exploration portfolio. FrontierX will be supporting VBM’s discovery goals by exploring a highly prospective greenfield porphyry copper play within its South American portfolio.
  • The exploration area spans over 1,500km2 and is situated in the world-class copper belt that is host to Quellaveco (Anglo American), Cerro-Verde (Freeport McMoRan), Toquepala and Cuajone (Southern Copper).
  • FrontierX will review and rank prospects and plan to execute exploration to accelerate drilling and discovery in a defined area in Southern Peru (subject to mutually acceptable future agreements).
  • The work will be fully funded by VBM.

Fabian Baker, FrontierX Chief Executive Officer, said:

 “Vale Base Metals hold a large and strategic position in this preeminent porphyry copper belt of Southern Peru, and we are very excited to deploy the FrontierX team and model onto the project. Few exploration plays can so confidently claim potential for world-class copper discoveries. We are proud to be working with Vale Base Metals, one of the worlds leading base metal miners, and look forward to supporting their excellent team in advancing this opportunity.”

Ciara Talbot, VBM Director of Exploration, said:

 “We have ambitious discovery goals at Vale Base Metals and are pleased to be working with the team at FrontierX. Their model offers a forward-thinking approach, leveraging our data and exploration portfolio to accelerate our discovery opportunities in copper.”
