Four rigs.
Fully funded exploration program.
More metres ahead.
One year ago, on September 8, 2025, Pecoy Copper began trading on the TSX Venture Exchange. Since then, the Company has moved from no active drilling at Pecoy to four rigs operating today, with a fifth rig planned as the program continues to ramp up. Our fully funded 2026 exploration program includes approximately 35,000 metres of drilling at Pecoy, focused on expanding known mineralization, testing high-priority targets and advancing our understanding of the broader porphyry system. With substantial drilling and assay results still ahead, we are continuing to execute and advance Pecoy at pace. We thank our employees, contractors, local communities and stakeholders for their continued engagement and contribution to the progress at Pecoy.
