09:10 AM EST, 03/03/2026 (MT Newswires) -- DLP Resources ( DLPRF ) said Tuesday that it has pushed the target completion date of a preliminary economic assessment on the Aurora copper-molybdenum-silver project in Peru to the second quarter from the first quarter.

The company attributed the delay to the time needed to evaluate the option for simultaneous underground and open pit extraction to maximize the project's potential.

DLP noted that the Aurora project has been evaluated solely using open pit mining methods, but additional drilling and mining review has indicated the possibility of exploiting potential resources at lower project elevations below the currently designed pit limit.
