At a glance

What the record holds today. Every card names where it came from — a management representation is not an established fact, and the page never blurs the two.

What is in the ground
a little over a billion tons of combined inferred and indicated, basically half and half
Management-stated Ian Graham May 2026
Grade
just over half a half a percent copper equivalent
Management-stated Ian Graham May 2026
Money on hand
raised money in January, support lined up through Canaccord Group for additional working capital
Stated capital need: little over a billion dollars
Management-stated Ian Graham May 2026
What happens next
project will be transaction ready next year
Management-stated Ian Graham May 2026
The main open question
Management claims rest on a PEA (preliminary study) with incomplete metallurgical work; upside depends on unproven metallurgical improvements in liberation and throughput.

Our reading

Management view vs outside view

Management interviews are promotional by nature; the outside view is the counterweight. Both are quoted from the recordings, not added by us.

What management spends its time on

Counted from Oroco Resources's own claims across 1 interview — most-covered theme first.

Weighed from the statements on this page — management's pitch and the outside view. Not financial advice, and not our opinion of the company.

▲ Bull case

Management says Santo Tomas is a billion-ton porphyry copper deposit in Mexico grading just over 0.5% copper equivalent, yielding a 22% IRR and $1.5B NPV on conservative assumptions ($4 copper, $1,900 gold), with capex under $1.1B and…

Management says Santo Tomas is a billion-ton porphyry copper deposit in Mexico grading just over 0.5% copper equivalent, yielding a 22% IRR and $1.5B NPV on conservative assumptions ($4 copper, $1,900 gold), with capex under $1.1B and operating costs well below $1/lb. The company is transaction-ready within a year, backed by federal Plan Mexico status, community support, and improving permitting environment.

▼ Bear case

Management claims rest on a PEA (preliminary study) with incomplete metallurgical work; upside depends on unproven metallurgical improvements in liberation and throughput.

What it rests on
Evidence: 2 moments from 1 interview
Read the full case

Management claims rest on a PEA (preliminary study) with incomplete metallurgical work; upside depends on unproven metallurgical improvements in liberation and throughput. The project requires additional working capital through completion of the PFS and still faces execution risk in a jurisdiction where permitting—though improving—remains a known constraint. No independent validation of economics or technical assumptions is on record.

◆ Watch next

MRE (mineral resource estimate) in Q1 and PFS (prefeasibility study) in Q2 are the next technical milestones.

What it rests on
Evidence: 2 moments from 1 interview
Read the full case

MRE (mineral resource estimate) in Q1 and PFS (prefeasibility study) in Q2 are the next technical milestones. The company aims to be transaction-ready by next year; watch for evidence of buyer interest and permitting progress as the backlog catch-up continues. Any significant change to metallurgical assumptions during PFS would signal risk to the economics.

Each moment links to the exact point in the source recording. The cases are drawn from the transcripts, weighed as written — they are not a rating, a target or a recommendation.

Project 9 statements

The deposit 4

Key takeaway. Management describes the deposit as a porphyry copper system with a resource of "a little over a billion tons" of combined inferred and indicated material, roughly split half and half between the two categories.

Read the full summary

They report a grade of "just over half a half a percent copper equivalent." The company also recently acquired an option on the Vinia exploration project south of Santo Tomas, which they believe to be another porphyry center, raising the potential for a three-porphyry district.

Technical risk 2

Key takeaway. Management says the project carries low technical risk.

Read the full summary

The CEO noted in May 2026 that 70 to 80% of the resource is softer, meaning it will feed more quickly and require less crushing energy. He also pointed to upside in copper liberation, which could improve recovery rates, reduce operating costs and increase throughput.

What was actually said
metallurgy
70 to 80% of resource is softer and will feed more quickly with less crushing energy
“they recognize that we perhaps had not done representative metallurgical work...So they believe 70 to 80% of the resource is softer uh and will feed more quickly with less crushing energy”
Ian Graham· 14 May 2026·
recovery rate
upside in ability to produce, increase lib copper liberation, reduce operating costs, get more throughput
“we see some upside in the ability to produce from Santo Tomas, increase some of the lib copper liberation Mhm. uh and reduce operate operating costs, get a little more throughput on the plant.”

How to read this page

What is here

Statements made by company representatives in the interviews listed above — each one carrying the words that made it, the date, and the recording. Nothing is added from any other source: if it was not said on a recording, it is not on this page. The one exception lives in the Claims & Checks record, which cites a metal price from our own feed so a stated cost can be set against it — and labels it as ours wherever it appears.

What is not verified

All of it. Resource figures, economics, timelines and promotional framing are management's own representations, checked against no filing and no technical report. Transcripts are automatic; we repair a clearly mis-heard word but never a number, a date, a unit or a speaker's hedge — “about 8.6 million ounces” keeps its “about”.

How to use it

Treat it as a map of what has been said, not as a source of fact. Where a figure matters to you, open the recording and read the company's filings. Nothing here is financial advice, a recommendation, or an offer to buy or sell any security — these are interested parties discussing their own company.
