Panoro Minerals Launches High-Grade Strategy and 15,000 m Drill Program at Cotabambas

Panoro Minerals ( (TSE:PML) ) has shared an update.

Panoro Minerals has unveiled a high-grade development strategy for its Cotabambas copper-gold-silver project in southern Peru, centered on an initial open pit mine design targeting capital efficiency, a short payback period, and a smaller environmental footprint. The plan is underpinned by a 2026 exploration program featuring 15,000 metres of drilling to expand and upgrade the project’s high-grade resource, which currently stands at 129 million tonnes at 1.29% copper equivalent in the Indicated category and 93.1 million tonnes at 1.17% copper equivalent in the Inferred category.

The drilling will be split between infill work at the North Pit to convert more high-grade material to Indicated status, step-out drilling at the South Pit to grow high-grade tonnage, and exploration at the nearby Tamburo and Chaupec targets where additional porphyry and skarn mineralization has been outlined. By focusing on a 1.2% copper-equivalent high-grade core with a low strip ratio and straightforward metallurgy, Panoro aims to position Cotabambas as a more financeable, near-term development opportunity within Peru’s competitive copper cluster, potentially enhancing project economics and appeal to investors and strategic partners.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:PML) stock is a Hold with a C$0.42 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Panoro Minerals stock, see the TSE:PML Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on PML Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, PML is a Neutral.

The score is held down primarily by weak financial performance (pre-revenue losses and ongoing cash burn), partially offset by a low-leverage balance sheet. Technicals are supportive with a strong uptrend, but overbought signals raise near-term pullback risk. Valuation provides limited support due to negative earnings and no dividend.
