Norfolk Metals Advances Carmen Copper Project with Option Payment and DIA Milestone

Norfolk Metals Ltd. ( (AU:NFL) ) has issued an update.

Norfolk Metals has reinforced its commitment to Chile’s Carmen Copper Project by confirming a US$250,000 option payment to local owners, keeping its pathway open to acquire up to 100% of the asset through existing earn-in and option structures. Having already funded A$3 million in exploration to earn a 70% interest in the project-holding vehicle, the company plans a shareholder meeting in the June quarter to issue shares and performance rights needed to complete the transaction.

The company has completed its Declaracion de Impacto Ambiental report after three seasons of environmental and baseline studies and expects to submit it to Chilean regulator Sernageomin later in February, with final approval anticipated later in 2026. Approval of the DIA would permit more flexible, expanded drilling and studies through to execution and construction, underpinning a planned Phase 2 diamond drilling program targeting structural controls on copper mineralisation and several regional IP anomalies to advance the project toward a JORC-compliant resource.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:NFL) stock is a Hold with a A$0.10 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Norfolk Metals Ltd. stock, see the AU:NFL Stock Forecast page.
