06:52 AM EST, 11/24/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Coppernico Metals ( CPPMF ) on Monday said it has submitted an environmental impact assessment - semi-detailed drill permit application through its private subsidiary Sombrero Minerals for the Sombrero project in Peru.

The permit will facilitate expanded exploration opportunities across high-priority copper-gold targets within and beyond the Ccascabamba target area.

The application proposes an expansion of the permitted drill area by about 2,120 hectares for a total area of 3,024 ha. It also seeks to increase the number of drill platforms from 38 to 181 and allow for the deployment of additional drill rigs.

Targets covered by the application include Fierrazo, Corrales, Tipicancha, Chumpi and Escondida South, which are characterized by compelling geophysical and geochemical signatures.

At the most advanced target, Fierrazo, historical drilling has already revealed significant copper mineralization.
