Trident holds a portfolio of three existing royalties over the Pukaqaqa Copper Project, an advancing copper asset located in the Huancavelica region in Peru.
The Pukaqaqa Project contemplates the development of a copper, molybdenum, and gold deposit utilising open-pit mining to produce both a copper concentrate and a molybdenum concentrate via a 30,000 tonne-per-day onsite processing facility over a 19-year mine life. Based on the current resource, Trident believes that Pukaqaqa has the potential to produce around 35,000 tonnes of copper per year, along with potential molybdenum, gold, and silver credits.
