And you just think about how irrational that is."

Sombrero Copper-Gold Project Update: “Increased Access” with Coppernico Metals CEO Ivan Bebek
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.”
