Mogotes Metals has made significant progress in the Vicuña District, a promising copper-gold sector in Argentina and Chile, which is of great interest to private investors. The company has identified three new copper-gold-silver targets in the Los Mogotes Target Cluster, which lie on the same geological trend line as the well-known Filo Del Sol project, now equally owned by Lundin Mining and BHP.
Significant New Targets
- Meseta: Located about 1 km south of Filo Del Sol, it has potential for gold-silver high-sulfidation epithermal mineralization (HSE). Recent sampling has significantly expanded the target area and showed promising gold and silver values.
- Los Mogotes: A 650 m × 500 m area with copper grades up to 0.59% Cu. This area shows both porphyry and high-sulfide copper-gold-silver mineralization at the surface. Geophysical studies aim to further define potential porphyry mineralization at depth.
- Cuenca: A vein swarm target with potential for near-surface gold-silver occurrences. Assays returned values up to 0.82 g/t Au and 12.75 g/t Ag. This makes the area ideal for rapid drilling in the next season.
Geophysical Anomalies and Investor Opportunities
In May 2025, an initial line of a geophysical survey confirmed a large-scale anomaly near the surface about 2.8 km south of the Filo Del Sol resource area. This anomaly provides a compelling drilling target for further exploration.
For private investors, this means a strategically favorable positioning near an established world-class project, the identification of promising exploration targets, and ongoing geophysical studies to delineate potential deposits. These developments could significantly enhance the value of Mogotes Metals.
Overall, Mogotes Metals is somewhat igniting the “copper-gold turbo” in the Vicuña District – which has attracted the attention of private investors.
