Los Andes Copper is delighted to announce the return of its revamped Social Organisations programme – Vincula Putaendo 2026 – now bigger and better than ever.
Vincula Putaendo 2026 will provide 35 social organisations with the opportunity to access funding, training, and support to develop projects that generate a real and positive impact in the Putaendo community.
This edition of the programme will continue in strengthening the social development of the municipality surrounding the Vizcachitas Project, and marks the continued dedication of Los Andes Copper and @vizcachitas to its local communities.
Chile is well-known as the country with the largest copper reserves in the world. During 2026, Chile held 180Mt of copper - which is nearly double the second largest reserves (Australia at 100Mt) - and accounts for 18% of the world's copper reserves.

📈 Strong demand from global electrification, alongside a stockpile rush caused by reduced supply and geopolitical uncertainty, pushed #copper prices to an all-time high of $6.44/lb over the past 24 hours.
Supply shocks, like stockpiling, are exacerbating the need for new copper sources, like the Vizcachitas Project, to come online.

The team continues to make excellent progress across our PFS work-streams as we move closer toward delivering the first 🇺🇸 mined source of tungsten in over a decade.
Following our U.S. IPO and capital raise, operations have further expanded at both Pilot Mountain and Tempiute.
At #LosAndesCopper, sustainability considerations are integrated into every stage of Vizcachitas' project development plans. From environmental baseline studies to stakeholder dialogue, we are committed to developing the Project in line with modern mining standards and community priorities.
#Copper is essential in powering the energy transition and electrification. How it's produced matters.
Copper has been used by humans for over 10,000 years and is still one of the most critical metals for society, especially in the drive towards global electrification.

If Iran retaliates by disrupting the Strait of Hormuz it will bring into sharp relief for the UK the folly of not maximising its domestic gas supply from the North Sea. Qatari supply may have fallen as a share of UK imports in recent years, but the spillover to global demand for Norwegian gas and US LNG leaves the UK unnecessarily exposed. For a government that has made welcome (long term) progress this week on stable nuclear baseload, the inability to look at the short term security of supply from the North Sea looks like a grave strategic error.
Last week you could fill an oil tank in rural Britain for 59p a litre. Today? Well over 100p... if you can get it at all. Our new world is all about scarcity.
#LosAndesCopper wishes our dedicated female staff and the women throughout our local communities a happy #InternationalWomensDay. We continue to support local female entrepreneurs through our successful 'Entrepreneurs of Putaendo' programme which was established to help our local communities where many of our employees live.

In February 2023, Los Andes Copper announced the results of its Pre-Feasibility Study for Vizcachitas, showcasing a world-class copper project with robust economics and significant scope for extension.

Los Andes Copper is attending the @BMO Global Metals, Mining & Critical Minerals Conference next week, meeting with an array of mining professionals and investors.
Global copper demand is set to surge by 50% to 42Mt by 2040, according to research published last week by @SPGlobal. Demand is set to be driven to record highs by emerging technologies like AI and robotics, as well as defence systems and EVs. Supply, however, is expected to lag behind, creating a 10Mt shortfall. Large undeveloped deposits, like Vizcachitas, are crucial in helping to meet burgeoning demand. #LosAndesCopper ⤵️

Copper prices today reached a record high of more than $13,370 per tonne over supply disruptions and tariff concerns. Longer term, ageing mines and lack of investment are set to lead to a supply shortage, whilst electrification and AI applications are expected to boost demand, leading to a structural deficit that will support high prices.

Guardian the only Company in the entire 🇺🇸 that is drilling at not only one, but two tungsten projects.
Importantly, they are both historical producers which supplied tungsten concentrate to the 🇺🇸 industrial base.
Hard push before a short holiday shut down.

The Vizcachitas Mine is designed to accommodate a significant production ramp up without delay by enabling extensive access works. Haulage distances and inclines have also been taken into account to minimise the movement of materials. Planning for the future, autonomous fleet technology will be accommodated.

In 2023, the Vizcachitas PFS highlighted a post-tax IRR of 24% at a copper price of $3.75/lb. Prices currently sit at around $5.00/lb, indicating an increased post-tax IRR of 37%. A structural deficit is expected to only increase prices further in coming years.
