Copper Giant Resources Advances Mocoa Project With New Economic Study

Copper Giant Resources Corp. has begun work on a National Instrument 43-101 compliant Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for its Mocoa copper-molybdenum project in Colombia, a key step toward defining the project's economic viability. The study is supported by a team of consultants including SLR Consulting, INTERA, APEX Geoscience, Frank Wright Consulting, and SGS Canada, with completion targeted in the second half of 2026.

For investors tracking copper and molybdenum markets, the PEA represents a critical milestone. Early metallurgical testing has reported copper recoveries up to 92% and molybdenum recoveries up to 97%, which could significantly enhance the project's economics if confirmed in the full study. These recovery rates are notably high for a polymetallic deposit and could position Mocoa as a potentially low-cost producer. Live commodities prices and charts on NowPrice show how copper and molybdenum markets are reacting to supply-demand dynamics, providing context for project valuations.

The next catalyst to watch is the completion of the PEA in H2 2026, which will provide the first comprehensive cost and production estimates for Mocoa. A positive result could pave the way for a Pre-Feasibility Study, further de-risking the project. Investors should also monitor copper price trends, as the project's economics are sensitive to metal prices. Any updates on metallurgical test work or permitting progress will be closely watched by the market.
