Lundin Mining<\/strong> officially announced the initial mineral resource estimate at the Filo del Sol project<\/strong>, located in the Vicu\u00f1a district, a region shared between the San Juan province(Argentina<\/em>) and the Atacama region(Chile<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n

The potential mineral resources of Filo del Sol project<\/h2>\n\n

This operation is managed by Vicu\u00f1a Corp<\/strong>, a 50\/50 joint venture between Lundin Mining<\/strong> and BHP<\/strong>. This strategic partnership allows sharing infrastructure and maximizing synergies between the deposits, increasing operational efficiency and long-term projection. <\/p>\n\n

According to the information disclosed, Vicu\u00f1a concentrates 13 million tons of measured and indicated copper <\/strong>and 25 million tons inferred. With respect to gold<\/strong>, it contains 32 million ounces in M&I resources and 49 million inferred. To this is added a silver <\/strong>wealth of 659 million ounces M&I and 808 million ounces in the inferred category. <\/p>\n\n

These figures place the district among the 10 largest in the world in copper mineral resources, with a strategic value multiplied by its polymetallic composition. At Filo del Sol <\/strong>, 606 Mt with 1.14% CuEq were identified, representing 4.5 Mt of copper, 9.6 Moz of gold and 259 Moz of silver. Josemar\u00eda<\/strong>, on the other hand, contributes 196 Mt with 0.73% CuEq, located near surface. <\/p>\n\n

In addition, the oxide layer<\/strong> at Filo del Sol could be exploited by heap leaching<\/strong>, a lower initial investment technique. This area contains 434 Mt with 0.34% copper, 3.9 Moz of gold and 35 Moz of silver. <\/p>\n\n

On the other hand, recent drilling in peripheral and deep zones has found continuous mineralization continuous mineralization<\/a><\/strong>suggesting an extension beyond the current resource model boundary. This indicates significant growth potential both laterally and at depth, strengthening the expectation of a world class operation. <\/p>\n\n

The resource report will serve as the basis for the joint technical report between Lundin Mining<\/strong> and BHP<\/strong>, which is expected in the first quarter of 2026. This document will chart the path for the comprehensive development of the Vicu\u00f1a mining complex. <\/p>\n\n

\n

The initial mineral resource has highlighted the potential for one of the world’s highest grade undeveloped open pit copper projects and one of the world’s largest gold and silver resources.<\/p>\nJack Lundin, CEO of Lundin Mining.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n
