TSX listed Candente Copper owns Canariaco Norte, a large, economic copper deposit in Peru that continues to advance technically and economically toward a sale or production decision. A 2022 Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) is nearing completion that will advance it further toward development

Now it has a sister deposit, Canariaco Sur located 2km away that could help advance developments much quicker.

Canariaco Sur contains 2.2 billion pounds of copper and 1.2 million ounces of gold in an inferred resource calculated with only 15 holes, demonstrating a considerable amount of metal.
Sur contains higher levels of gold and molybdenum than Cañariaco Norte, minimal arsenic levels and mineralization that starts at surface. Cañariaco Sur has the potential to add significant value to the resources at Cañariaco Norte, 2km to the northeast.

Cañariaco Norte is a 100% owned pre-feasibility-stage porphyry copper deposit containing 7.5B pounds Measured and Indicated and can be mined for 22 years once in production. Oh, and Canariaco Norte is in the lowest quartile of production costs for projects waiting to be developed at around 0.98c per pound of copper. If that doesn’t have your attention, the third party validation will, look at these partners supporting Candente in 4 research papers comparing various global copper projects in the last 4 years as it now moves 2 deposits toward development:

RFC Ambrian: Cañariaco Norte in top 10 of 23 projects with potential to involve third party M&A (December 2021)
Haywood: Cañariaco Norte is one of 18 assets selected as likely to be considered by majors looking to acquire (December 2021)
Deutsche Bank: Cañariaco Norte identified as one of 3 projects required to meet the upcoming copper supply-demand gap (February 2021)
Goldman Sachs: Cañariaco Norte identified with incentive copper price in the lowest quartile of the top 84 copper projects worldwide (October 2018)

Canariaco Norte is a deposit itching to become a mine and Candente continues to advance the project forward with studies evaluating various methodologies to reduce CAPEX with multiple scenarios that support developing Canariaco closer to a production scenario.

With the price of copper firmly above $4 dollars, the economics supporting Canariaco going into production only gets stronger, and now Canariaco has a sister deposit helping to expedite matters.
Watch this great interview with Candente CEO Joanne Freeze as walks through Canariaco Sur and the exciting new developments aiding the development of 2 exciting copper porphyry deposits.

VIDEO – American Creek $AMK: Drilling Treaty Creek For a 2nd World Class Gold Discovery in 2021 $TUD.ca $ESK.ca $SEA.ca $PVG $AOT

American Creek Provides Update on Its First Quarter Filings

American Creek ( AMK:TSXV ) is located in one of the best mining jurisdictions in the world in B.C. Canada. They are already partnered to a world class discovery and just embarked on this years exploration program to determine how big their Goldstorm deposit really is, and to see if the deposit is not alone. There may yet be a whole storm of deposits out there on the property.

The Treaty Creek project is in the Golden Triangle on one of the largest hydrothermal systems in the world. The “Sulphurets Hydrothermal system” supports numerous world scale deposits, including the high-grade Brucejack mine (opened 2017 by Pretivm) and Seabridge’s KSM which boasts the largest undeveloped gold deposit by reserves in the world.

The southern half of the system contains 188m oz gold, 1.2 bn oz silver, 55bn lbs. copper in resources.

American Creeks Treaty Creek project is a Joint Venture. Tudor Gold owns 3/5th, is the operator and controls all costs associated with development and discovery. American Creek owns 20% and is fully carried until a “Production Notice” is issued and benefits from a “free ride” on any discovery, or discoveries made, to which there is one to date.

In March the 1st the very first resource calculation was released for Treaty Creek’s Goldstorm deposit. It is true world class, opening with 19.4m ounces of gold equivalent in Indicated and 7.9m Inferred. The potential to grow with further drilling is substantial.

A 2021 Phase 1, 30,00m, 4 drill program is underway to define where the mineralization stops in order to truly define the scope of the Goldstorm deposit. It is still open in all directions. Not too many companies have the advantage of this position, let alone at no cost.

There will be 2 more drills and 20,000 more metres added to the program later this summer targeting new discoveries.

Last Year Eric Sprott said the following about the Goldstorm Deposit on Treaty Creek:”

“It certainly looks like they have 20 million ounces and they could easily get to 30 or 40 or 50 million ounces (of gold)” Eric Sprott, July 24, 2020

I wonder how many ounces he will be counting at the end of this drill campaign. Or will it be discoveries?

Drop in and enjoy this illustrative narrative with Kelvin Burton of American Creek and discover the world class scale of Treaty Creek.

Candente Copper $DNT.ca Provides Update for Ausenco Conceptual Desk Top Study on Cañariaco Norte $FCX.ca $TECK.ca $FSUGY $PER.ca

Posted by AGORACOM at 8:27 AM on Monday, April 19th, 2021
  • Ausenco Update for Conceptual Desk Top Study on Cañariaco Norte

Candente Copper Corp. (TSX:DNT, BVL:DNT) (“Candente Copper”, “Company”) is pleased to announce that the Desk Top Conceptual Study (“Study”) that is being conducted by Ausenco is advancing well. The mandate of the study is to identify opportunities for Cañariaco Norte to be built as a smaller higher grade project with a lower initial capital expenditure (“CapEx”) and accelerated payback period.

In addition to seeking a higher copper grade for the starter pit, we are investigating other opportunities to lower the CapEx and operational expenditures (“OpEx”) and consider better environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) practices.  All of the Desk Top work considers the potential for expansion into a larger project over time.

“While the work has taken up more time than we initially anticipated, the opportunities already identified by Ausenco to improve the project are well worth the wait.” says Joanne Freeze, President and CEO. “A more comprehensive Desk Top Study will allow the Company to follow it with a preliminary economic assessment (“PEA”) on the best possible project and we are already seeing detailed optimizations that should make substantial improvements to the project”.

Work to date has focused on:

  1. Geometallurgical modelling which identifies both a wider range of metal contents in the different rock types and a wider range of metal recoveries to concentrate from the various rock types.  Combining these two aspects allows the forecast of concentrate quality followed by production that offers more flexibility and the ability to plan mine scheduling to optimize project value.  
  2. The identification of current markets for our unique copper concentrate which indicate higher potential revenues due to a decrease in treatment costs.

For more details about the Study, please see News Release No. 127 (dated February 25th, 2021): https://www.candentecopper.com/news-releases/news-releases/2021/ausenco-engaged-for-desk-top-studies-on-canariaco-norte-higher-grade-project.

American Creek Provides Update on Its First Quarter Filings

American Creek owns 20% of Treaty Creek, a project that is currently waiting on a maiden resource and estimated to be around 30 million ounces. It’s safe to assume if your flagship asset is within the scale of a world class asset such as Treaty Creek, your supporting assets are not being recognized for their value. This is where Stinger (STNG: TSXV) comes in. All non-core AMK assets are now the property of Stinger, including millions in cash and over 1m Tudor Gold shares. American Creek keeps the 20% carried Interest to production at Treaty Creek, and any future discoveries. Oh, and the very first Resource at Treaty Creek

2 Companies. 1 Bull Market. Sit back and have a listen to this great interview with Kelvin Burton as he explains for all shareholders, AMK and soon to be STNG.

  • Engineering studies to identify and define various value add options for the development of the Cañariaco Project.
  • First goal is to define/identify a smaller, higher grade, start up option for Cañariaco with a smaller CapEx and accelerated payback period

Candente Copper Corp. (TSX:DNT, BVL:DNT) (“Candente Copper”, “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has received and is reviewing proposals from two internationally acclaimed engineering firms for engineering studies to identify and define various value add options for the development of the Cañariaco Project.

The first goal of the engineering study is to define/identify a smaller, higher grade, start up option for Cañariaco with a smaller initial capital expenditure (“CapEx”) and accelerated payback period. This is expected to be able to be permitted and financed to production more quickly than the larger option. The intention would be that once the development capital is paid back, the smaller operation could then be expanded to fully recognize the value of the large copper-gold resource that exists at Cañariaco.

The second goal is to explore other potential options with a mind to establish both cost efficiencies and environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) friendly development options. Current industry wide ESG initiatives and responsible investing is driving innovation in environmentally friendly, sustainable development and finance products. This innovation has been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic and increased urgency around the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals, resulting in many new development options to consider now.
