Libero Copper & Gold Corporation

What Libero Copper & Gold Corporation does

Copper Giant Resources Corp. (formerly Libero Copper & Gold Corporation) is a publicly traded copper-molybdenum exploration and development company headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, and listed on the TSXV (CGNT), OTCQB (LBCMF), and FSE (29H0). The company is a single-asset vehicle focused on the Mocoa porphyry deposit in Putumayo, Colombia, where the November 2025 NI 43-101 estimate defines 1.1 billion tonnes of inferred mineralization at 0.51% CuEq, containing 7.6 billion pounds of copper and 1.0 billion pounds of molybdenum within a 1,283 km² district-scale land package. The technology stack is conventional for porphyry exploration: diamond drilling for resource definition (64 holes, 43,230m drilled to date, deepest hole 1,235m), directional daughter-hole drilling, geological mapping for alteration pattern identification, and geophysical surveys (IP/Resistivity and magnetic) for target definition at depth. Three distinct high-grade zones have been identified within the broader porphyry system, and mineralization remains open in all directions.

The company is a portfolio company of the Fiore Group, the private Canadian investment organization founded by Frank Giustra (Wheaton Precious Metals, Endeavour Mining, Aris Mining). Its business model is pre-revenue: capital is raised through equity financings (C$3M public offering December 2024; C$31M strategic financing led by Denarius Metals August 2026) and deployed into exploration, resource definition, and advancement toward a Preliminary Economic Assessment targeted for Q4 2026. Future revenue, once production commences, will come from selling copper and molybdenum concentrate, with a 10-year offtake agreement covering 20% of Mocoa concentrate production already secured with Trafigura. Customer segments are commodity trading houses, smelters, and industrial users of copper and molybdenum for global metal markets and energy-transition applications; the institutional investor base consists of mining-focused resource funds and strategic investors seeking exposure to copper development.

The go-to-market approach is institutional and enterprise-oriented: investor relations via corporate website (coppergiant.co), industry conferences (SMI Panama, 121 London, Rule Resource Symposium), European roadshows, and direct engagement with institutional investors and commodity buyers. Copper Giant operates as a junior mining developer with no multi-product portfolio — the entirety of the business centers on advancing Mocoa from inferred resource through PEA, pre-feasibility, and ultimately construction and production, leveraging the parent Fiore Group's mine-building track record to navigate the development pathway.

Broad incumbents

• Glencore: Glencore is one of the world's largest copper producers and traders, and is the parent of the Trafigura-related trading ecosystem; relevant both as a copper peer and as the counterparty in Copper Giant's 10-year offtake.
• Teck Resources: Teck is a major diversified miner with significant copper exposure (Quebrada Blanca, Highland Valley, Antapaccay) and has historically been an acquirer of large copper porphyry projects, providing a realistic takeout comparable for Copper Giant.
• Capstone Copper: Capstone Copper operates multiple copper mines in the Americas (Pinto Valley, Mantos Blancos, Mantoverde, Santo Domingo), providing a benchmark for copper developer-producer economics and regional permitting/operating experience.
• Lundin Mining: Lundin Mining is a mid-tier copper producer with Candelaria (Chile) and Neves-Corvo (Portugal), and is part of the Lundin group that acquired Filo Corp — relevant comparable for both single-asset copper porphyries and broader copper development economics.

Direct peers

• Filo Corp: Filo Corp is a copper-gold porphyry explorer with the Filo del Sol project in Argentina/Chile, sharing the same single-asset junior model, Andean porphyry targeting, and path from large Inferred resource through PEA/feasibility as Copper Giant's Mocoa.
• Denarius Metals: Denarius Metals is a mid-tier Colombian-focused polymetallic developer (Zijin partnership) that led Copper Giant's C$31M strategic financing in August 2026; comparable in size, single-country focus, and development-stage profile.
• NGEx Minerals: NGEx Minerals holds the Lunahuasi and Los Helados copper-gold porphyry projects in Chile/Argentina, making it one of the closest single-asset South American copper-gold porphyry developers to Copper Giant's Mocoa asset.
• Solaris Resources: Solaris is advancing the Warintza copper-molybdenum porphyry in Ecuador, an Andean single-asset copper explorer at a similar stage with district-scale land package and similar drilling-led value-creation model.

Emerging players

• Ivanhoe Mines: Ivanhoe Mines developed the tier-one Kamoa-Kakula copper complex in DRC and is a benchmark for copper-developer valuation; offers relevant comparison for what a successful greenfield porphyry-to-production transition looks like.

Others

• Libero Copper (legacy entity): Copper Giant Resources Corp. is the renamed corporate entity of Libero Copper & Gold Corporation (rebranded 2024); the predecessor entity shares identical projects, management, and shareholder register, and is itself the historical reference point for the current company.
