Welcome to Metminco

Metminco (MNC), incorporated in Australia, is an ASX and AIM listed mining exploration company with a 72.3% holding in Hampton Mining Limited (Hampton).

Hampton has exploration projects located in Chile and Peru, mainly focused on copper, with significant exposure to gold, molybdenum and zinc. The projects range from mine pre-feasibility, through advanced exploration to grassroots exploration.

Hampton’s premier project is the Los Calatos copper and molybdenum porphyry deposit located in southern Peru, near and in a similar geological setting to three large existing copper-molybdenum porphyry mines. At Los Calatos, Hampton has announced estimated JORC compliant resources (at a 0.2% copper cut-off grade) of 926 million tonnes, made up of Indicated Resources of 111 million tonnes at 0.39% Cu and 380ppm Mo and Inferred Resources of 815 million tonnes at 0.37% Cu and 260ppm Mo. Hampton is currently planning to commence a 50,000 metre phase 3 drilling program.

Hampton’s other advanced projects are the Mollacas copper leach project and the Vallecillo gold-zinc project. Both these projects are located in Chile, approximately 500km north of Santiago. Nearby Hampton has two significant early stage gold-copper exploration projects: Camaron and Isidro. Metminco’s remaining exploration projects in Australia will be divested or relinquished.
