Copper Giant Engages Aziwell to Implement Directional Drilling at the Mocoa Project

LBC · Price
Executive Summary
- Copper Giant Resources Corp. has engaged Aziwell Colombia SAS to deploy directional drilling technology at its Mocoa copper‑molybdenum porphyry project in Putumayo, Colombia.
- The initiative is part of the 2026 exploration program—the largest drill campaign ever undertaken at Mocoa—and is intended to increase data density, reduce drilling metres, lower costs and environmental impact while accelerating resource expansion and conversion work.
- Directional drilling will allow multiple daughter holes from a single mother hole, improving operational efficiency, safety and timeline for upcoming technical studies.
Key Details
- Partner: Aziwell Colombia SAS, subsidiary of Norway‑based Aziwell Group, provider of the proprietary AziDrill® directional core drilling system.
- Purpose: Implement directional drilling to test multiple vectors of mineralization from a single surface location, supporting resource expansion and conversion objectives.
- Program Context: Integrated into Copper Giant’s 2026 exploration program – the largest drill campaign in Mocoa’s history.
- Technical Advantages Highlighted:
- Increased number of drill holes per pad → higher drill density with fewer pads.
- Cost reductions via lower pad construction, road development, mobilization and drilling‑per‑metre expenses.
- Faster infill drilling to feed upcoming resource conversion studies and technical reports.
- Reduced surface disturbance and environmental footprint.
- Improved safety through fewer active platforms and streamlined logistics.
- Qualified Person: Edwin Naranjo Sierra, Vice‑President of Exploration (NI 43‑101 Qualified Person) reviewed and approved the technical information.
- Mocoa Project Overview (for context):
- Jurassic‑age Cu‑Mo porphyry with >1,000 m vertical continuity.
- Inferred resources: 12.7 Blb copper‑equivalent at 0.51% CuEq (7.7 Blb Cu @ 0.31% Cu; 1.0 Blb Mo @ 0.039% Mo) in 1,120 Mt.
- Strategic Impact: Directional drilling is positioned as a “practical step forward” to advance Mocoa toward future technical studies, strengthen the geological model and demonstrate responsible exploration practices.
Notable Quotes
“The implementation of directional drilling at Mocoa marks an important technical evolution for the project… Directional technology allows us to increase data density within the resource footprint and efficiently test expansion corridors, while reducing overall drilling metres, surface disturbance and associated cost.” – Edwin Naranjo Sierra, Vice‑President of Exploration.
