Irruptive Metals

What Irruptive Metals does

Irruptive Metals is a copper-gold porphyry exploration company focused on advancing the Pimenton Copper & Gold Project in Chile's Central Copper Belt. The company holds an option to earn 100% ownership of the project, which benefits from more than 9,000 meters of historical diamond drilling and surface work conducted by Rio Tinto, Anglo American, and First Quantum. Rio Tinto's 2006 work estimated a non-compliant resource potential of 400 Mt at 0.40% Cu and 0.43 g/t Au (5.5 Moz Au and 3.5 Blbs Cu), with the system remaining open in multiple directions. Prior drilling returned long intercepts including 956 m at 0.50% CuEq from 78 m and 598 m at 0.58% CuEq from 84 m, including 330 m at 0.70% CuEq.

The company is in pre-revenue exploration stage. Its core technology is geological modeling, vectoring-targeting, and conventional diamond drilling, with no software platform or AI/ML-based product. The asset is positioned on the same Miocene porphyry trend as El Teniente, Andina, Los Bronces, and Los Pelambres, and sits 75 km from Andina, 75 km from Los Bronces, 95 km from Los Pelambres, and 175 km from El Teniente, with development-stage neighbors West Wall (13 km) and Vizcachitas (25 km). The company is pre-money equity valued at C$72M at C$0.70/share, signaling an upcoming capital raise.

The go-to-market is capital-markets-led, targeting institutional mining investors, resource funds, and mining sector investors through investor presentations, IR, and conference engagement. There are no operating customers; the addressable customer is the equity investor, and value is intended to be realized through resource delineation, development, partnership, or acquisition. Leadership includes a discovery-credentialled technical and capital markets team, with Alfredo Bazo Rodriguez (CEO), Robert Oehninger (Founder/Country Manager), and Claudio Burgoa (Chief Geologist), supported by a board led by Ramon Luis Araneda Gonzalez (Chairman) and advisors including José Alberto Vizquerra-Benavides and Rubén Padilla.
