Mocoa is part of the Jurassic copper corridor that runs along the entire Andean range — the same metallogenic belt that hosts some of the largest copper deposits on the planet. Within this global context, Mocoa stands out as the most significant manifestation of the system in Colombia: a Cu–Mo deposit of substantial scale, prolonged fertility, and a geological potential that aligns with the regional trend of world-class Andean Copper Giants.
10 Million Years in the Making
The Emerging Giant of the Jurassic Belt
- The Mocoa deposit formed over 10 -million- year fertile window, making it one of the most prolonged magmatic systems of the Jurassic Belt. Multiple intrusive pulses and sustained Cu-Mo input have built what’s becoming a district-scale porphyry system.
Giants
Take
Time
- Majors Wants Scale, Durability and Growth Geologist Look For Fertile Window. Both Point to the Same Thing: Giants Take Time.
- The Biggest Deposits Of The Miocene Have Long Fertile Windows.
- The Jurassic Systems In Ecuador Are Short-Pulse. But Mocoa Shows A ~10 Ma Fertile Window.
- Multiple Fertile Pulses + Multiple Intrusive Generations + Sustained Cu–Mo Input = A Giant In Formation

High Copper and Molybdenum Recoveries
- Copper Mineralization is dominated by Chalcycrite, a Processing Friendly Mineral.
- 97% of Molybdenite reported as Free Grains.
- Assays indicate virtual absence of deleterious elements.
- All results support the Potential for Clean, High-Recovery Concentrates.
