King Copper Discovery Corp. has expanded its Colquemayo project in the Moquegua region of Peru by acquiring eight additional concessions totaling approximately 7,170 hectares. This acquisition more than doubles the company’s total controlled area to 13,770 hectares.

The expansion follows the approval of the company’s Environmental Impact Statement. Based on geochemical anomalies of copper, gold, and molybdenum, the company is preparing a diamond drilling campaign of up to 36,010 meters across 59 holes, which is fully funded via a private placement completed in September 2025.
