- Pampa Metals Corporation (CSE:PM, FSE:FIR, OTCQB:PMMCF) engages in the acquisition and exploration of copper-gold-silver-molybdenum porphyry projects across South America, targeting high-grade mineralized systems in prolific Andean belts; its principal assets include an 80% interest in the Piuquenes Copper-Gold Porphyry Project in San Juan Province, Argentina, featuring multiple porphyry centers with significant drill intercepts such as 801 meters at 0.40% copper, 0.51 g/t gold and 2.87 g/t silver including 518 meters at 0.53% copper and 0.73 g/t gold; a 20% joint venture interest in the Cobrasco Copper-Molybdenum Porphyry Project in Colombia's Chocó Copper Belt, where drilling has intersected 808 meters at 0.42% copper with bornite-rich zones over a 3 square kilometer anomaly; and the Mantau early-stage copper-gold project in Antofagasta, Chile, adjacent to Marimaca Copper's Pampa Medina discovery with rock-chip samples up to 28.6% copper and 5.9 g/t gold. The Vancouver-based company, founded in 2021 with headquarters at Suite 1200, 750 West Pender Street, operates primarily in Argentina, Colombia and Chile, serving institutional investors focused on base and precious metals exploration in Tier-1 copper districts alongside projects like Altar, Los Azules and El Pachón. In July 2025, Pampa Metals completes the acquisition of Rugby Resources Ltd. through a plan of arrangement, adding the Cobrasco and Mantau projects to its portfolio while retaining Rugby's other interests such as El Zanjon and Venidero gold-silver projects in Argentina; during 2024-2025, it expands the Piuquenes land package by 34% to 2,523 hectares, conducts a follow-up drill program intersecting bornite-rich mineralization and extending the porphyry system to over 1,100 meters depth, raises $5.55 million in equity from natural resources funds, appoints Tony Manini as Chairman and Paola Brewster as director, and initiates maiden drilling at Piuquenes East alongside property-wide target generation.
