CULPEO SECURES $3 MILLION
TO DRILL HIGH PRIORITY COPPER TARGETS
Culpeo Minerals Limited (Culpeo or the Company) (ASX:CPO OTCQB:CPORF) is pleased to announce
that it has received strong support via binding commitments for a Placement to raise approximately
A$3 million (before costs) (the Placement). Funds will be primarily applied towards a maiden
diamond drilling programme at the high-priority Vista Montana Copper Prospect, which sits
approximately one kilometre north-east of the Lana Corina discovery where the Company previously
intersected a wide zone of 454m @ 0.93% CuEq from 90m (refer ASX Announcement 10 July 2024).
Funds will also be applied towards follow up drilling at Lana Corina and accelerating copper
exploration across the Company’s highly prospective concession package.
HIGHLIGHTS
• Firm commitments received to raise approximately A$3 million (before costs).
• Strong support for the Placement, introducing a number of new institutions and sophisticated
investors, as well as continued support from existing Shareholders.
• Proceeds to be primarily allocated towards:
o Up to 5,000m of maiden drilling at the Vista Montana target and follow up drilling
at the Lana Corina target (Vista Montana sits 1km along strike from Lana Corina);
o Field programmes at the La Florida target and Fortuna Project, including IP surveys
and subsequent drilling; and
o Project payments, business development opportunities, general working capital
purposes and costs of the Offer.
Culpeo Minerals’ Interim Executive Chair, Geoff McNamara, commented:
“Funds raised through this Placement ensure we are well funded for our maiden drilling programme,
at the untested Vista Montana Prospect and follow up drilling at our Lana Corina discovery. We
believe Lana Corina and Vista Montana are linked and have potential to be a significant copper and
molybdenum system. We also intend to advance exploration at the compelling La Florida porphyry
copper-gold target within our Fortuna Project with an initial IP survey programme.

ABOUT CULPEO MINERALS LIMITED
Culpeo Minerals Limited is committed to copper exploration, discovery and development, with strategic assets
in Chile, the world’s leading copper-producing nation. The Company is focused on high-grade copper systems
within Chile’s infrastructure-rich Coastal Cordillera.
Culpeo has recently announced a significant copper and molybdenum discovery at the Lana Corina Project and
acquired the highly prospective Fortuna and Jupiter copper-gold projects.
The Lana Corina and Fortuna Projects are located in Chile’s Coquimbo Region, approximately 350km north of
Santiago, in proximity to the world-class Los Pelambres mine. The Jupiter Project is situated in the Antofagasta
Region, renowned for hosting multiple tier-one copper and gold operations, including Escondida, Collahuasi

These project areas feature substantial outcropping high-grade copper systems, and importantly, they are

and a strong local mining industry - factors critical in enabling cost-effective and efficient development.
The Company is led by a highly experienced board and management team with more than two decades of
operational and exploration experience in Chile. Culpeo’s objective is to deliver Shareholder value through the
exploration, acquisition and development of high-grade, near-surface copper systems.
