Company Overview

Los Andes Copper Ltd. is a Canada‑based mineral exploration and development company focused on advancing large-scale copper resources in South America, primarily in Chile. The company operates in the base metals mining industry, with a strategic emphasis on copper and associated by-products such as molybdenum, commodities that are critical to global electrification and decarbonization trends.

The company’s principal asset and sole material focus is the Vizcachitas Copper‑Molybdenum Project, one of the largest advanced copper development projects in central Chile. Los Andes Copper is a pre‑revenue company, with value driven by resource delineation, project de‑risking, engineering studies, and long-term development potential rather than current production. The company was established to consolidate and advance the Vizcachitas project and has since evolved into a single‑asset developer positioning itself as a future supplier of large‑scale copper concentrate to global markets.

Business Operations

Los Andes Copper’s operations are centered on the exploration, evaluation, and advancement of the Vizcachitas Project, which it controls through its Chilean subsidiary Vizcachitas Holding SpA. The project hosts a large porphyry copper system and has been the subject of extensive drilling, metallurgical testing, and technical studies, including preliminary economic assessments. As an exploration and development-stage company, Los Andes Copper does not currently generate operating revenue.

Operational activities are conducted primarily in Chile, while corporate management, capital markets activities, and strategic oversight are based in Canada. The company relies on a combination of internal technical teams and external engineering, environmental, and geological consultants. There are no producing assets, and the business model is dependent on continued project advancement, permitting progress, and access to capital markets.

Strategic Position & Investments

Strategically, Los Andes Copper is focused on advancing Vizcachitas toward a development decision by increasing resource confidence, optimizing mine plans, and progressing environmental and social baseline studies. The company positions the project as a long‑life, low‑strip, large‑scale copper asset capable of supporting future demand driven by electric vehicles, renewable energy infrastructure, and grid expansion.

The company’s investment activity is concentrated entirely on Vizcachitas, with no diversified portfolio or unrelated acquisitions. Capital allocation is directed toward drilling programs, technical studies, and community and environmental initiatives required for long-term permitting. Beyond its wholly owned Chilean subsidiary, Los Andes Copper does not report material equity investments, joint ventures, or interests in other mining projects based on available public disclosures.

Geographic Footprint

Los Andes Copper operates primarily in Chile, where the Vizcachitas Project is located in the Valparaíso Region of central Chile, a well‑established mining jurisdiction with proximity to infrastructure and ports. This location places the company within one of the world’s most important copper‑producing countries, benefiting from an experienced labor force and established mining services sector.

Corporate headquarters and capital markets presence are maintained in Canada, reflecting the company’s listing on Canadian exchanges and its access to North American institutional and retail investors. Outside of Chile and Canada, the company does not report material operational or investment exposure in other regions.

Leadership & Governance

Los Andes Copper is led by a board and management team with experience in mining finance, project development, and capital markets. Leadership oversight emphasizes long-term value creation through disciplined project advancement, technical rigor, and alignment with global copper demand fundamentals. The company does not publicly articulate a formal leadership philosophy, but disclosures consistently emphasize scale, strategic timing, and jurisdictional quality.

Key executives include:

• R. Michael Jones – Executive Chairman
• Paul Jones – Chief Financial Officer
• Michael Jones – President and Chief Executive Officer

Some executive role titles and responsibilities show overlap in public disclosures, and data is inconclusive based on available public sources regarding the precise separation of executive chairman and chief executive functions at all times.
