PPX Mining Announces 2026 Exploration Plans for Peru's Igor Project

PPX Mining Corp., headquartered in Toronto, has unveiled its 2026 exploration blueprint for the Igor Project in Peru's La Libertad Region. The company aims to drill a total of 9,500 meters, focusing on Callanquitas Mine and the Portachuelos project. This endeavor marks a significant chapter in PPX's drilling history, funded by Glencore's investment for sulfide exploration, with ongoing cash flow supporting the oxide exploration.

Exploration at Callanquitas East Mine includes underground drilling with two drills targeting oxide and sulfide zones. Highlights include results from previous drill holes showcasing significant gold and silver grades. Later in the year, attention will shift to Callanquitas West, where seven holes are planned to explore potential mining areas.

At Portachuelos, PPX will pursue the BX2 structure, intending to establish internal resources and use downhole EM surveys for better characterization. The company aims to uncover prospective targets along the Portachuelos structure, reinforcing its exploration strategy for 2026.
