Castilla
Copper Project

Located approximately 65 kilometres southwest of Copiapó in Chile’s Atacama Region, the Castilla Project covers 7,200 hectares of exploration concessions in a district rich with copper oxide deposits and heap-leach infrastructure. The project lies along a parallel structural trend to the past-producing Manto Negro Mine, which historically produced more than 1.3 million tonnes at 1.2% acid-soluble copper between 2005 and 2009.

Super Copper Corp. holds a 100% ownership interest in Castilla with no net smelter royalties (NSRs), providing complete operational control and flexibility. Early sampling, mapping, and geophysical work indicate widespread near-surface copper mineralization with characteristics typical of oxide-leach systems found across northern Chile.

Project Snapshot

Type of Mineralization

Near-surface oxide copper in stratabound and vein-style zones

Size

~7,200 hectares of contiguous exploration concessions

Ownership

100 % owned by Super Copper Corp.; no NSRs

Infrastructure

Road-accessible; within 70 km of SX-EW processing plants and power grid connections

Site Infrastructure

Castilla enjoys strong regional infrastructure that supports year-round fieldwork and low-cost logistics:

Easy road access via paved routes from Copiapó

Connection to nearby power transmission corridors

Proximity to several SX-EW plants capable of toll processing

Port access at Caldera within two hours by road

Nearby mining workforce and services based in Copiapó

Geology and Mineralization

The Castilla property hosts a series of oxide copper showings and structural corridors that trend north–south and northwest–southeast, orientations consistent with the Manto Negro–Candelaria IOCG belt. Mineralization occurs within fractured volcanic and sedimentary units, including:

Copper carbonates and oxides

(malachite, chrysocolla, cuprite) coating fractures and veins.

Limonite-hematite alteration zones

indicative of supergene enrichment.

Minor secondary sulfides

at depth, suggesting transitional potential to mixed or hypogene systems.

Key Target Zones

Super Copper Corp’s key target zones highlight extensive copper mineralization across the Cordillera Cobre and Castilla Projects. These areas show strong oxide and sulfide systems, offering potential for large-scale exploration growth and expansion.

Exploration Strategy

Super Copper’s strategy at Castilla is to fast-track the project toward oxide copper resource definition through modern mapping, sampling, and near-surface drilling.

Location

The Castilla Project sits within Chile’s Atacama mining province, 65 km southwest of Copiapó, a well-serviced mining hub that supports major operations such as Lundin Mining’s Candelaria, Capstone Copper’s Santo Domingo and Manto Verde, and Hot Chili’s Productora.

The area benefits from paved road networks, a nearby power corridor, abundant skilled labour, and a stable mining jurisdiction. Castilla’s position near existing oxide operations provides a clear analog for future development pathways, including potential heap-leach processing.
