Company Overview

Alturas Minerals Corp. is a Canadian-based mineral exploration and development company focused on the discovery and advancement of copper and gold assets in Peru, one of the world’s leading mining jurisdictions. The company operates within the mining exploration industry, with an emphasis on copper-gold porphyry systems, which are strategically important due to global electrification and infrastructure demand.

The company’s primary value driver is the advancement of its flagship exploration properties rather than current production, as Alturas Minerals does not operate producing mines. Its strategy centers on early-stage exploration, resource delineation, and value creation through joint ventures or asset monetization. Alturas has positioned itself as a technically focused junior explorer with deep local expertise in Peru. The company was founded in 2005 and has evolved from a diversified exploration company into a more focused copper-gold explorer following asset rationalization and project prioritization over time.

Business Operations

Alturas Minerals conducts its operations primarily through exploration programs, including geological mapping, geophysical surveys, and drilling activities. Its core asset is the Cerro Blanco Copper-Gold Project, a large-scale porphyry exploration property located in southern Peru, which represents the company’s principal exploration focus and capital allocation priority.

The company does not generate operating revenue from mineral production and instead relies on equity financing and strategic partnerships to fund exploration. Operations are managed through Peruvian subsidiaries, most notably Alturas Minerals S.A.C., which holds mineral concessions and manages in-country exploration activities. Alturas maintains compliance with Canadian securities regulations while adhering to Peruvian mining and environmental laws governing exploration-stage activities.

Strategic Position & Investments

Alturas Minerals’ strategic direction is centered on advancing its flagship copper-gold assets to a stage that attracts larger mining companies seeking long-term copper exposure. The company emphasizes disciplined capital deployment, technical validation of targets, and the potential for future joint ventures or project-level transactions rather than near-term mine development.

Historically, Alturas has evaluated multiple exploration properties and has divested or deprioritized non-core assets to concentrate on higher-impact copper opportunities. The company’s investment focus remains squarely on copper and gold, with no verified involvement in non-mining sectors or emerging technologies outside mineral exploration. No major acquisitions or producing-asset investments have been confirmed in recent public disclosures.

Geographic Footprint

Alturas Minerals’ operational footprint is concentrated in South America, specifically Peru, where all known material exploration assets are located. The company’s corporate headquarters are based in Canada, reflecting its public listing on the TSX Venture Exchange and its access to Canadian capital markets.

While the company does not maintain a broad global operational presence, its influence is tied to its strategic positioning within Peru’s established mining corridors. Activities are localized to exploration regions with existing mining infrastructure and proximity to other large-scale copper projects operated by major international mining companies.

Leadership & Governance

Alturas Minerals is led by an experienced management team with technical and regional expertise in mineral exploration, particularly within Latin America. The leadership emphasizes geological rigor, local stakeholder engagement, and prudent capital management as core elements of its strategic vision.

Key executives and directors include:

• Luis Zapata – President and Chief Executive Officer
• John Mark Stanton – Chairman of the Board
• Phil Brodie – Chief Financial Officer
• Hernán Ochoa – Vice President, Exploration

The governance structure aligns with Canadian public company standards, with oversight provided by an independent board of directors and adherence to continuous disclosure requirements under applicable securities regulations.
