Directors’ Report
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Overview
Culpeo Minerals Limited (Culpeo or the Company) is a copper exploration and development company
with project interests in Chile, the world’s largest copper producing country (Figure 1). The Company is
focused on the exploration and development of high-grade copper systems in the coastal Cordillera
region.
Culpeo’s key activities during the half-year period ended 31 December 2023 were focused on initial
exploration of the recently acquired Fortuna Project (Fortuna) and the continued exploration of the Lana
Corina Copper-Molybdenum Project (Lana Corina).

and 12 December 2023; Lucero recent sampling results refer to ASX announcement 21 November 2023 and La Florida
results refer ASX announcement 4 January 2024), (Refer page 18 for copper equivalent calculation methodology).
Fortuna Project
In August 2023, Culpeo acquired an 80% interest in the Fortuna Project, located approximately 10km
north of the Company’s Lana Corina Copper and Molybdenum Project (Figure 1) (refer to ASX
Announcement dated 7 August 2023).
The acquisition was via the exercise of an option agreement with private Chilean company Inversiones
Em Dos Limitada. The agreement involved no upfront consideration, with acquisition costs to be made
monthly over a five-year period totalling US$600,000.
Culpeo further increased its land package at Fortuna by 2,250 hectares in October 2023, resulting in a
total district footprint of 4,025 hectares (refer to ASX Announcement dated 4 October 2023).
The new tenement area contains numerous historic mine shafts and small-scale mining sites that
previously exploited surface copper mineralisation. A preliminary geological assessment of the surface
geology shows that the new tenure area displays similar lithologies and alteration types observed at
Fortuna and Lana Corina, indicating that the area is highly prospective for hosting high-grade copper
mineralisation.
As at the end of the period, seven high priority outcropping prospects were identified at Fortuna: Vaca
Muerta, Piedra Dura, La Florida, El Quillay North, El Quillay Central, El Quillay South and Lucero.
With the acquisition and subsequent expansion of the Fortuna Project, Culpeo significantly increased the
Company’s copper exploration landholdings by more than 800% in the coastal metallogenic belt of Chile.

El Quillay Prospect Areas
The El Quillay Prospect area covers a >3km long regional fault zone in an area previously exploited by
both open cut and underground mining. Mineralisation is present as a series of sub-parallel structures
with elevated levels of copper, gold and silver.
Mineralised zones are hosted within andesitic lithologies (Figures 3 and 4) and show hydrothermal
alteration present as sericite, albite-adularia, chlorite-epidote and hematite (specularite). Along the
mineralised regional structure at El Quillay, three prospect areas have been identified (El Quillay North,
El Quillay Central and El Quillay South), with multiple mineralised zones recognised in each area. The
zones measure up to 1,000m long, 50m wide and 100m deep (Figure 3).

Culpeo Minerals Limited
Directors’ Report
Figure 4: Surface geology map of El Quillay North showing the position of mineralised zones and historic mine
workings (ASX Announcement 11 September 2023).
Between 1950 and 1960, and more recently in the 1990’s, the mineralisation at El Quillay North has been
exploited by small scale mining activities both from the surface and underground. Several shafts were
sunk to a maximum depth of 80 metres, extracting predominantly sulphide mineralisation in the form of
chalcopyrite and bornite.
Historic mapping and sampling programs were undertaken in the area, with 294 samples taken from both
the surface and underground (Figure 5). Drilling commenced during the period at El Quillay North, testing
the extent of this mineralisation.
A broad 40m zone of copper mineralisation was subsequently intersected from 15m, including an
approximate 25m downhole zone of very strong copper sulphide mineralisation from 30m (CMEQD002)
(ASX announcement 19 December 2023). This provided visual confirmation that the high-grade coppergold mineralisation recognised from historic underground sampling (refer ASX announcement
11 September 2023) extends down plunge and remains open in all directions.
A 23m zone of copper mineralisation from 20m down hole was also intersected in diamond hole
CMEQD001 (ASX announcement 19 December 2023). Post mineralisation faulting was logged at 36m
downhole and future drilling will target offsets to mineralisation to the east and west. In both holes the
near surface mineralisation was dominated by malachite and chrysocolla. In the primary zone the main
copper mineralisation was in the form of chalcopyrite and to a lesser extent bornite.

Directors’ Report
Figure 5: Cross Figure 5: section through the El Quillay North Prospect showing widths of mineralisation and
results including drill hole CMEQD002 (ASX Announcement 17 January 2024).
During the period, Culpeo also completed a stockpile sampling program at El Quillay North which
consisted of 5 random grab samples of approximately 2kg to 3kg each from across the exposed portions
of stockpiles at the prospect. Results confirmed the high-grade nature of the material mined at El Quillay,
with grades of up to 3.69% Cu returned (ASX announcement 6 December 2023). Mineralisation in the
stockpiles was both oxide and primary (sulphide) in nature with malachite, chalcopyrite and bornite
identified.
Subsequent to the end of the period, results were returned from the first drill hole of the maiden drilling
program confirming shallow, wide copper mineralisation. Significant intercepts included:
•
5.8m @ 0.78% CuEq from 15.2m; and
•
26m @ 0.81% CuEq from 29m, including 4m of 1.87% CuEq from 51m (refer to ASX
Announcement dated 17 January 2024).
Drill core from the second hole at El Quillay North, CMEQD001, was submitted for analysis with assay
results pending.

Directors’ Report
Lucero Prospect
The Lucero Prospect is located 1.3km north of El Quillay and was discovered subsequent to Culpeo’s
acquisition and extension of the Fortuna Project. The structurally controlled outcropping copper
mineralisation was delineated over 950m of strike and observed to span up to 60m width (refer Figure 6).
Copper grades of up to 5.37% Cu were returned with 50% of samples returning above 2% Cu (refer to
ASX Announcement dated 21 November 2023), this area of Fortuna shows potential for a significant
copper mineralisation.
The discoveries present as two sub-parallel mineralised zones striking north-west and remaining open. A
total of 36 rock chip samples were collected, three of which contained very high-grade content of
malachite, bornite and chalcopyrite copper mineralisation assaying between 4 and 5% Cu (refer ASX
announcement 21 November 2023).
As at the end of the period with the addition of Lucero, Culpeo had identified seven total prospect areas
at the Fortuna Project since the acquisition.
Figure 6: Plan view of the Lucero Prospect, Fortuna Project (ASX Announcement 21 November 2023).
Piedra Dura Prospect
Piedra Dura is located west of El Quillay in a parallel structural corridor exhibiting structurally controlled
copper mineralisation over at least 500m of strike and up to 50m wide. The copper oxide mineralisation
at Piedra Dura has been historically exploited with both surface and underground mining.
10 | P a g e
Culpeo Minerals Limited
Directors’ Report
The field program at Fortuna commenced in early October, with the initial collection of 47 rock chip
samples, focussed on the main Piera Dura mineralised corridor.
Rock chip samples were taken within an area 1.1km long striking north-west to south-east and 100m
across-strike, east-west. During the program, several parallel zones of alteration and mineralisation were
mapped.
Of the initial 47 samples collected, 31 returned high-grade copper results >1% Cu including a single
sample of 4.16% Cu (CPO0008562) from within a brecciated volcanic unit (refer to ASX Announcement
dated 1 November 2023). High-grade gold results were also returned with up to 48.3g/t Au from sample
CPO0008539 (refer to ASX Announcement dated 1 November 2023).
Figure 7: Plan view of the Piedra Dura Prospect showing surface sampling copper results (ASX Announcement
12 December 2023).
A follow-up surface sampling program was completed in November 2023 with the collection of a further
27 rock chip samples targeting extension of the known Piedra Dura mineralisation to both the north and
east.
Of the 27 samples collected, 11 returned high-grade copper results >2% Cu including a sample of
9.78% Cu and 7.52g/t Au (CPO0008661) from within a gossanous shallow dipping structure, strongly
mineralised with secondary copper minerals including malachite, azurite and covellite (refer to ASX
Announcement dated 12 December 2023).
High-grade gold results accompanied the significant copper mineralisation with sample number
CPO0008659 returning 13.4g/t Au and 6.04% Cu (refer to ASX Announcement dated 12 December 2023).
11 | P a g e
Culpeo Minerals Limited
Directors’ Report
It is clear from the assay results that the western portion of Culpeo’s Fortuna Project, which includes Piedra
Dura, is highly prospective for copper and gold mineralisation. The recent rock chip sampling extends
mineralisation 400m to the north and 150m to the east with the target structure remaining open to the north
and south.
Vaca Muerta Prospect
Vaca Muerta includes, a series of outcropping structurally controlled, breccia hosted mineralised bodies,
significantly enriched in Cu and Ag. Mineralisation is located within a corridor approximately 1,000m long and
500m wide (Figure 8), and hosted within porphyritic volcanic rocks displaying strong albite alteration
presenting as replacement of plagioclase and as veinlets and small clusters accompanied by quartz.
Surface copper rich zones have individual lenses displaying lengths from 400m to 800m, and widths of 25m to
150m, mapping and sampling of historic underground workings has shown mineralisation to be present to at
least 100m below the surface and open at depth. Historic channel sampling has returned significant widths
and grades of copper mineralisation (refer to ASX Announcement dated 7 August 2023) including:
•
150m @ 1.31% CuEq;
•
101.5m @ 1.25% CuEq; and
•
172.5m @ 0.86% CuEq.
Copper mineralisation is present as outcrop in the form of chrysocolla and malachite transitioning into
chalcopyrite and bornite in the primary sulphide zone. The oxide zone is approximately 25m in depth, below
which the primary sulphides extend to >100m.
During the period, Culpeo commenced diamond drilling at the Vaca Muerta Prospect, targeting mineralisation
below historic channel samples, including 150m @ 1.31% CuEq (refer ASX announcement 7 August 2023).

Culpeo Minerals Limited
Directors’ Report
La Florida Prospect
La Florida contains a large outcropping mineralised zone that forms a north-south trending belt
approximately 1,300m long and 400m wide. Host rocks consist of andesitic volcanic rocks and intrusive
rocks, mostly consisting of quartz-feldspar porphyry.
A large alteration / stockwork zone is present on the surface at La Florida (Figure 9) and covers a surface
area of >300m of strike and >200m in width. Historical mapping identified hydrothermal alteration
hosted within the quartz-feldspathic intrusive rocks with argilisation, silicification and sericitation
recognised in the core of the system and epidote-chlorite and minor clays present in the outer halo.
Limonite is associated with these alteration minerals and is interpreted to be derived mainly from pyrite
hosted as disseminations and within quartz veins, within this zone the erratic presence of copper oxides
is also noted.

(ASX Announcement 7 August 2023).
13 | P a g e
Culpeo Minerals Limited
Directors’ Report
Subsequent to the end of the period, Culpeo received results from first pass rock-chip sampling which
identified a north-south trending belt of copper-gold anomalism, within the northern sector of Fortuna (refer
ASX announcement 4 January 2024). The anomalous zone is approximately 1.7km long by 0.5 km wide and
hosted within andesitic volcanic rocks that have been intruded by quartz-feldspar porphyry lithologies.
Both the volcanics and the intrusive rocks show moderate to strong hydrothermal alteration in the form of
argillic, phyllic (sericite) and strong limonitisation (interpreted to be after weathered pyrite).
All 14 samples taken returned anomalous copper and gold results. The best copper result of 3.96% Cu was
returned from CPO0008688, located in the northern part of the interpreted porphyry system where strong
surface mineralisation was identified in the form of malachite and chrysocolla (refer to ASX Announcement
dated 4 January 2024). This sample also returned a gold result of 1.17g/t Au. Of significant interest was
CPO0008692, which returned high grade copper and gold at 3.18% Cu and 2.61g/t Au (refer to ASX
Announcement dated 4 January 2024). The sample was taken from historical workings in fresh, unoxidised
mineralisation.
Numerous zones of porphyry style “D-veins” were encountered in the mapping and sampling program and
were typically 1-10mm in width containing pyrite and chalcopyrite, with samples also displaying narrow
alteration selvages of pale greenish sericite. The presence of these “D-veins” indicates the exposure of the
upper levels of a porphyry system at La Florida. The porphyry intrusives at La Florida are also mineralised with
disseminated chalcopyrite mineralisation analogous with Culpeo’s nearby Lana Corina discovery where this
style of mineralisation is a major component of the overall metal endowment.

Culpeo Minerals Limited
Directors’ Report
Lana Corina Project
Lana Corina is a high-grade copper-molybdenum project, hosting multiple outcropping copper bearing
breccia pipes associated with a well mineralised porphyry intrusive. Lana Corina is located 10km south of
the Company’s Fortuna Project in the coastal Coquimbo region of Chile (Figure 1).
The top of the Lana Corina mineralised system outcrops at surface as a series of copper bearing
magmatic/hydrothermal breccias. At depth, the system transitions into a quartz-feldspar diorite which
hosts consistent copper mineralisation, present mainly as chalcopyrite. Detailed core logging and
associated lithological and paragenetic reviews have been undertaken to better classify the different styles
of mineralisation recognised at the project.
No exploration drilling activity was undertaken at Lana Corina during the period.
Corporate Activities
Equity Capital Raise
During the period the Company announced the issue of approximately 38.25 million new fully paid
ordinary shares in the Company to professional and sophisticated investors at an issue price of A$0.032
per share, to raise approximately A$1.224 million (before costs). The Placement was completed in two
tranches, comprising:
•
Tranche 1: Approximately A$0.62 million via the issue of ~19.37 million Placement Shares within
the Company’s placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A; and
•
Tranche 2: Approximately A$0.6 million via the issue of ~18.87 million Placement Shares, which
were subject to shareholder approval at a General Meeting of the Company’s shareholders.
Due to additional demand, Culpeo subsequently increased Tranche 2 of the Placement by an additional
218,750 Placement Shares to 19,091,788 shares at the issue price of A$0.032. The Company obtained

Resources and Ore Reserves. Mr Tuesley consents to the inclusion in this report of the matters
based on this information in the form and context in which it appears.
The information in this disclosure that relates to Geophysical Results is based on information
compiled by Nigel Cantwell. Mr Cantwell is a Member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists
(AIG) and the Australian Society of Exploration Geophysics (ASEG). Mr Cantwell is a consultant to
Culpeo Minerals Limited. Mr Cantwell has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of
mineralization and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking
to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the Australasian Code for
Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources & Ore Reserves. The Company confirms that
it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the Geophysical Results and
confirms that the form and context in which the applicable Competent Persons’ findings are

Copper Equivalent (Cu Eq) values: Assumed commodity prices for the calculation of Copper Equivalent (Cu Eq) is Cu US$3.00/lb, Au
US$1,700/oz, Mo US$14/lb and Ag US$20/oz. Recoveries are assumed from similar deposits: Cu = 85%, Au = 65%, Ag = 65%, Mo = 80%,
Cu Eq (%) was calculated using the following formula: ((Cu% x Cu price 1% per tonne x Cu recovery) + (Au(g/t) x Au price per g/t x Au
recovery) + (Mo ppm x Mo price per g/t x Mo recovery) + Ag ppm x Ag price per g/t x Ag recovery)) / (Cu price 1% per tonne x Cu
recovery). Cu Eq (%) = Cu (%) + (0.54 x Au (g/t)) + (0.00037 x Mo (ppm)) + (0.0063 x Ag (ppm)). It is the Company’s opinion that all
elements included in the metal equivalents have a reasonable potential to be recovered and sold.
