Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 14, 2024) - Chakana Copper Corp. (TSXV: PERU) (FSE: 1ZX) (the "Company" or "Chakana") Further to a news release dated February 9, 2024, announcing the intention to extend the term and adjust the $0.20 exercise price of 28,369,789 common share purchase warrants (collectively, the "Warrants"), the Company has received TSX-V acceptance to extend the Warrants to October 31, 2024, and amend the exercise price of the Warrants from $0.20 to $0.14.
The Company has carefully considered this amendment to optimize its potential to raise additional capital from the exercise of the Warrants at an exercise price more than three times our most recent financing and about 75% higher than our current share price without incurring any time delays or additional financing costs. If exercised, these funds will allow for an expanded drilling program at its Soledad copper-gold-silver discovery in Ancash, Peru. An initial 3,000 m drill program testing the Mega-Gold porphyry target, La Joya high sulfidation epithermal target, and tourmaline breccia hosted mineralization is scheduled to begin at the end of March 2024. The Company believes that the amendment to terms of the Warrants is prudent and in the best interest of its shareholders to ensure continued funding of the Company and its exploration assets.
About Chakana Copper Corp
Chakana Copper Corp is a Canadian-based minerals exploration company that is currently advancing the Soledad Project located in the Ancash region of Peru, a highly favorable mining jurisdiction with supportive communities. The Soledad Project is notable for the high-grade copper-gold-silver mineralization that is hosted in tourmaline breccia pipes and other intrusion-related styles of mineralization. An initial inferred resource estimate for seven breccia pipes was announced in January, 2022 (see news release dated February 23, 2022), with 6.73 Mt containing 191,000 ounces of gold, 11.7 million ounces of silver, and 130 million pounds of copper. In addition, extensive multidisciplinary exploration has defined 154 exploration targets, 28 of which have been tested to date (18%), confirming that Soledad is a large, well-endowed mineral system with strong exploration upside. Chakana's investors are uniquely positioned as the Soledad Project provides exposure to base and precious metals.
