Adventus – Who We Are
Adventus to commence 2020 exploration drilling at Curipamba, Pijili & Santiago projects – drilling at Pijili underway. Also advancing El Domo, Curipamba project through a feasibility study
• Curipamba copper-gold project, with El Domo deposit – earning 75% of underexplored 21,500 ha property, underpinned by high grade El Domo VMS: feasibility study started. ~$2M left of $25M earn-in requirement by Q4 2022. 2020-2021 drilling program targeting new discoveries within district. Salazar Resources Ltd.(“Salazar”) is partner
• Pijili & Santiago exploration projects in Alliance – maiden drilling at Pijili began in June 2020, Santiago later in H2 2020, both with potential copper-gold porphyry & epithermal vein systems. Managed in Exploration Alliance led by Adventus (80%) and partner: Salazar (20%)
• Distinguished Strategic Shareholders – Altius Minerals, Greenstone Resources, Resource Capital Funds, Wheaton Precious & Nobis Group see growth & discovery potential in Adventus
