DLP Resources Inc. (TSXV: DLP | OTCQB: DLPRF | FSE: J8C) has made an independent NI 43-101 Technical Report publicly available, supporting the Preliminary Economic Assessment for its 100%-owned Aurora copper-molybdenum-silver project in southern Peru. The filing follows the company's September 1, 2026 announcement of PEA results, which outlined an after-tax NPV8% of US$2,703 million and an IRR of 18.5% over a 17.5-year mine life. Investors are watching the Aurora project as one of the larger-scale porphyry copper development stories currently advancing on the TSXV.

Key Points

  • DLP Resources Inc. (TSXV: DLP | OTCQB: DLPRF | FSE: J8C) filed an independent NI 43-101 Technical Report for its Aurora project
  • The report supports the PEA first announced September 1, 2026, projecting an after-tax NPV8% of US$2,703 million and IRR of 18.5%
  • Aurora's production profile contemplates 90.5 million pounds of copper, 37.4 million pounds of molybdenum, and 1.21 million ounces of silver annually
  • Investors may watch for updates on Aurora project authorisation and the maiden drill program at the Esperanza copper-gold project

Aurora PEA Economics and Resource Scale

The Aurora deposit hosts a combined open-pit and underground indicated mineral resource of 614.84 million tonnes grading 0.19% copper, 0.06% molybdenum, and 2.09 grams per tonne silver, alongside an inferred resource of 1,118.80 million tonnes at comparable grades. The independent PEA, completed in September 2026, established an after-tax NPV8% of US$2,703 million and an IRR of 18.5% based on a 17.5-year mine life using open-pit and underground mining methods. These metrics position Aurora among the larger copper development projects currently under assessment in Latin America.

Annual Production Profile Disclosed in Technical Report

According to the release, Aurora's projected production profile contemplates payable output of 90.5 million pounds of copper per year, 37.4 million pounds of molybdenum per year, and 1.21 million ounces of silver per year. The company notes the PEA is preliminary in nature and is based on a mineral resource estimate that has not been upgraded to a mineral reserve. Actual capital costs, operating costs, production rates, metallurgical recoveries, and project economics may differ materially from those set out in the PEA, and there is no certainty the PEA results will be realised.

Esperanza Discovery Adds District-Scale Copper-Gold Exposure

Beyond Aurora, DLP Resources is also advancing Esperanza, an emerging district-scale copper-gold discovery located 35 kilometres from Cerro Verde, one of the world's largest copper mines. The release states a 5.0-kilometre by 2.5-kilometre magnetic anomaly is supported by high-grade surface and trench sampling results. A maiden drill program is referenced in the company's disclosures. The combination of the advanced Aurora PEA and the earlier-stage Esperanza asset gives the company a two-project development pipeline within southern Peru.
