CEO Sued, Anon Promos, & Learning from Success: Junior Mining Insights with Bill Powers & Brian Leni

Ivan Bebek, Chair and CEO of Coppernico Metals, discusses the latest high-grade copper hard-rock surface samples from the Nioc target on the company's flagship Sombrero project in Peru: "Is this the tip of the iceberg that you're seeing; kind of poke through that cover potentially? But what's most impressive is the grade. So the project's getting more exciting. These results are incredibly rare on the global copper scene to see this kind of grade coinciding with geophysics that really indicate the potential for something that could be what we would call globally significant or world class as an opportunity."

Gold Royalty Boom: What Investors Should Know with Insider Alexandra Woodyer Sherron

Ivan Bebek, Chair and CEO of Coppernico Metals, discusses the latest developments with the company’s Sombrero copper-gold project in Peru: “We are pleased to have amended our option agreement with Aceros, reflecting the collaborative nature of the relationship. This Amendment is an important step toward securing drill permits for our Fierrazo target, which we are advancing. Engaging with local communities and stakeholders has been a top priority for the Sombrero Project since its inception and will remain so moving forward, together with the commitment to a safe working environment and job creation. We believe that Sombrero has the potential to become a premier copper exploration district, given the scale of the numerous targets we are identifying and geological data being collected. This conviction complements our efforts to develop impactful agricultural programs in the region, with active participation from local communities and support from the government. We appreciate Aceros’ collaboration on this Amendment, which will help us advance the Project more efficiently. Further updates on permit progress, exploration results, and new claims in the region will follow in the near future.”
