- Candente Copper Corp., now known as Alta Copper Corp. following a corporate name change effective May 19, 2023, is a Canadian mineral exploration and development company headquartered in Vancouver, Canada. Founded in 1997, the company primarily focuses on the acquisition, exploration, and development of high-quality copper projects with strategic importance. Its flagship asset is the 100% owned Cañariaco Copper Project located in northern Peru, comprising the Cañariaco Norte deposit, Cañariaco Sur deposit, and the Quebrada Verde prospect across approximately 91 square kilometers. The Cañariaco project is one of the largest copper deposits in the Americas not controlled by a major mining company, featuring significant quantities of copper along with gold and silver. Alta Copper's main products and services encompass advanced-stage copper project development, copper resource exploration, and sustainable mining practices. It specializes in copper concentrate production, employing modern mining and processing technologies including open-pit mining, crushing, grinding, flotation, and environmentally focused concentrate partial roasting to reduce arsenic levels. The company also applies advanced exploration techniques and integrates sustainability practices, emphasizing environmental stewardship and operational efficiency. Recent major developments include the company’s rebranding from Candente Copper to Alta Copper to reflect its transition to the development stage, several non-brokered financings with strategic investors such as Fortescue Metals Group and Lind Partners, and an option agreement on the Arikepay copper project in Peru. Alta Copper has actively advanced the updated Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for Cañariaco Norte, aiming to optimize capital expenditure, reduce operational costs, and enhance environmental, social, and governance practices. Furthermore, the company maintains exploration and development interests in other base metal properties in Peru and Canada, including copper-molybdenum assets in British Columbia. Alta Copper operates primarily in the mining and metals industry, targeting global markets requiring copper for clean energy, infrastructure, transportation, and communication technologies. The company’s strategic focus lies in responsible resource development, leveraging modern engineering and disciplined execution to create long-term value, while fostering strong community relationships and sustainability commitments at its Peru operations. Its shareholder base includes institutional investors supporting its transition toward production readiness and growth within the global copper supply chain.
