Some of the coverage from Greenwood:
Orosur is rapidly advancing the Pepas discovery at its 100%-owned flagship Anzá gold project in Colombia. Infill drilling for a maiden resource is underway and continues to deliver some of the best gold intersections anywhere in the world from surface. High grades create optionality and a low capex, high-margin development scenario is unfolding.
Orosur has made stellar progress at Anzá since regaining 100% control in Nov 2024 from its previous JV partner MMA, a 50-50 venture between Agnico Eagle and Newmont. MMA drilled discovery hole PEP001 in 2022 (150m at 3g/t Au from surface) targeting the downdip extension of one small high-grade outcrop. The JV then stepped out to other prospects, drilling deep to look for >5Moz monster deposits, and minimal further work was undertaken leaving walk-up drill targets for Orosur, which now holds 100% of Anzá. The share price has rallied 5x since the MMA acquisition and liquidity continues to increase against the backdrop of discovery excitement and gold price.
Some of the best gold intersections globally. Orosur’s first hole (PEP012) back into Pepas returned 66.75m at 5.64g/t Au from surface and the rest is history with the majority of subsequent holes returning spectacular grades, typically from surface; 62.3m at 12.76g/t Au from 9.5m and 104m at 6.61g/t Au from surface being recent highlights.
Dominant footprint in the Mid-Cauca Belt, with Orosur holding a 400km2 land position situated on the key crustal-scale structure controlling gold mineralisation in this fertile metallogenic belt, on trend and bookended between major gold deposits; Zijin’s Buritica (9Moz) in the north and Aris Mining’s Marmato (9Moz) in the south (plus Collective Mining’s Guayabales project) and a myriad of quality projects in between including AngloGold’s Quebradona asset.
Pepas offers the prospect of near-term production due to the coalescence of several factors; exceptionally high-grade mineralisation with consistently thick intervals from surface, “top of hill” very low strip ratio, and proximity to grid power and a main highway. Location in an established gold mining district presents an opportunity for 3rd party toll treatment which means only mining and crushing at site, translating to low capex and easier permitting with no need to build a plant or tailings facility in rugged terrain. A portion of the Anzá licence already has a valid environmental permit that could be expanded to cover Pepas and potentially provide a pathway to a shorter permitting timeframe. Pepas should be a low-risk, easily fundable and high margin project, especially at the current gold price. Infill drilling and geological modelling is underway to define a maiden MRE.
