Cerro de Pasco Resources Inc. (CDPR) is focused on the development of its principal 100% owned asset, the El Metalurgista mining concession, comprising silver-rich mineral tailings and stockpiles extracted over a century of operation from the Cerro de Pasco open-pit and underground mine in Central Peru.
Cerro de Pasco Resources' Quiulacocha Tailings Project aims to reprocess a vast historical tailings deposit near Cerro de Pasco, Peru. The project seeks to recover valuable metals (Ag, Zn, Cu, Pb, Au) while promoting economic growth and environmental remediation, with the potential to leverage existing infrastructure. CDPR holds full ownership of the relevant concession area.
The discovery of gallium complements the project's existing polymetallic potential (Zn, Pb, Ag, etc.). It enhances the overall economic case for reprocessing the Quiulacocha tailings and reinforces the project's role in potentially supplying critical raw materials vital for modern industry, further strengthening the circular economy and environmental remediation objectives.

The discovery of gallium in high concentrations at the Quiulacocha TSF enhances the project's strategic importance, adding to its diverse metal content.
As a critical metal for high-tech industries, gallium strengthens the project's economic potential.
Reprocessing tailings not only enables the recovery of valuable metals but also helps mitigate acid water contamination, reducing environmental risks.
By transforming waste into usable materials, the process supports both ecological restoration and the advancement of a circular economy.
Cerro de Pasco Resources will create new job opportunities by revitalizing mining activities in the region, supporting local employment, and fostering economic growth. With a skilled workforce already in place, the project will help sustain and expand the town’s mining heritage.
Recent drilling at Quiulacocha confirms an impressive average grade of 5.5 oz/t Ag of silver equivalent, highlighting significant concentrations of silver, zinc, lead, gallium and indium, further reinforcing the project's economic and strategic potential.
From the vast polymetallic potential of our Quiulacocha tailings project, including newly identified critical metals like gallium, to our dedicated management team and strategic location in Peru, Cerro de Pasco Resources represents a compelling investment opportunity to invest in one one the world's largest above-ground metal resources while providing environmental solutions for the community.
