Pecoy Copper Review Finds Potential Step-Change in Gold Recovery

Pecoy Copper Corp. has released results from a Phase 1 independent metallurgical review on its copper-gold-molybdenum-silver project in Peru, highlighting a potential step-change in gold recovery and optimization opportunities.

The review, conducted by Global Resource Engineering Ltd., re-examined historical test work through a broader payable-metals lens. While previous work focused on copper recovery and concentrate quality, the new analysis suggests that gold, silver, and molybdenum could contribute significantly to project economics. The company noted that the review identified opportunities to improve gold recovery, which could have a material impact on overall project value.

For investors in the mining sector, improved gold recovery rates can directly enhance the net present value of a project. Gold often represents a substantial portion of revenue in polymetallic deposits, and even modest increases in recovery can translate into significant cash flow improvements.

The company plans to incorporate these findings into further optimization studies. Next steps may include additional metallurgical testing and a preliminary economic assessment to quantify the impact of improved recoveries on project economics. Investors will watch for updates on the company's progress toward a feasibility study.
