Peru and Zn-Ag-Pb-Cu-Au

Inca has been exploring in the South American country of the Republic of Perú (Peru) since 2012, one of the premier exploration destinations in the world. We have a proven record of discovery, committing funds to exploration and the creation of positive newsflow. From new porphyries and breccias at Chanape to dozens of new veins and mantos at Riqueza, its about genuine effort and genuine news.

Inca’s current projects, Greater Riqueza and Cerro Rayas, are highly prospective for zinc (Zn), silver (Ag), lead (Pb), copper (Cu) and gold (Au). They are located within a prolific mineral belt that runs the entire length of Peru. This mineral belt hosts several mega-sized mineral deposits and multiple world class mines operated by the largest mining houses in the world, BHP, Rio Tinto, Teck, Glencore, Newmont, Gold Fields, Barrick Gold, Southern Copper Corp, Buenaventura.

Inca’s projects are surrounded by mines, treatment plants and mining infrastructure. The proliferation of mining operations near the projects illustrates the capacity of the area, a consideration for stand-alone operations. The interest shown by major mining houses in the vicinity also illustrates the potential of the area for world-class +200 million tonne deposits.

KEY TAKE-AWAYS OF PERU
