About

Oroco Resource Corp., founded in 2006, is a Canadian mineral exploration company with a history of and expertise in developing resource projects in Mexico. Oroco's focus is the development of the Santo Tomás Project in northwest Mexico, situated within the Laramide Copper Belt, one of the most prominent copper districts in the world. Santo Tomás combines scale, infrastructure, and a defined development pathway, supported by a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) and an active Phase 2 drill program advancing the project toward a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS). Santo Tomás represents a rare development asset with the technical foundation and economic strength required to support a positive production decision.

Mineral resource
Oroco announced a revised Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") and updated Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") for the North Zone and South Zone of its Santo Tomas Porphyry Copper Project in Sinaloa State, Mexico. The updated MRE and geologic model were prepared by SRK Consulting (U.S.), Inc. and SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc. The PEA outlines a staged open pit operation starting at 60,000 tonnes per day in Year 1, with a Life of Mine of 22.6 years. Highlights of the PEA include an NPV (8%) of US$2.64 billion pre-tax and US$1.48 billion post-tax, an IRR of 30.3% pre-tax and 22.2% post-tax, and total LOM payable copper production of 4,774 M lb. Initial capital costs are estimated at US$1,103.5 million, with sustaining and expansion capital costs estimated at US$1,734.1 million. The average CuEq grade is 0.51% over the first 7 years of production.
Projects
["Santo Tomás Project Overview: Santo Tomás hosts a large, outcropping porphyry copper deposit comprised of fracture-hosted and disseminated Cu and Mo sulphides with significant Au and Ag credits. The Project lies within the Laramide Belt, a NW-SE trending copper belt extending from southwestern USA into southern Mexico that includes numerous world-class copper deposits, including the Cananea district, which hosts one of the largest copper deposits in the world. Oroco is currently advancing Santo Tomás through Phase 2 drilling, with a program focused on resource conversion, de-risking the project, and advancing toward Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS)-level work. The project is located at low elevation in the municipality of Choix adjacent to the Fuerte River, in the western Sierra Madre mountain range. The project straddles the border between the Mexican States of Sinaloa and Chihuahua. Proximal infrastructure includes the deep-water port of Topolobampo, located 160km to the south-west, connected by sealed roads, a rail line, high voltage power supply, and a high-pressure gas pipeline, all within 20km or less of Santo Tomás. The region is home to numerous mining operations and has a strong regional mining culture and highly supportive local community.","Xochipala Project: Oroco holds a 100% interest in two contiguous mineral concessions in Guerrero, Mexico; Celia Generosa and Celia Gene, totaling 193 hectares and together called the Xochipala Project. This interest was acquired in 2007 and registered with the Mexican Public Registry of Mining in August of 2012. The Xochipala claims cover ground in the Guerrero Gold Belt sufficient to potentially generate reserves greater than 1 million ounces gold in ore bodies similar to the productive high-grade ore bodies that have been discovered in the past within the region. Oroco’s Xochipala Project is located in the southeast extreme of the original Morelos National Mining Reserve, which includes the most promising and expanding gold reserves in Mexico. The project area is well served by a network of local roads and is close to the principal centers of population. The district is served by hydroelectric power and water is locally available."]
