CORRIENTE RESOURCES

Corriente Resources Inc. is a copper and copper/gold development and exploration company moving towards initial production. Corriente controls a 100% interest in approximately 62,000 hectares located within the Corriente Copper Belt. The Belt extends over a 20 x 80 kilometre area in southeast Ecuador and is one of the only undeveloped copper districts available in the world today. The Belt currently contains four copper and copper-gold porphyry deposits, Mirador, Mirador Norte, Panantza and San ... Carlos. Additional exploration activities will be ongoing, as six additional copper and copper-gold exploration targets have been identified in the Corriente Copper Belt to date. A key attribute of the company is that development of the 100% owned Corriente Copper Belt is scalable. This enables a modest investment to open up the district, with growth to be financed largely from cash flow, creating South America’s next major producing copper district. Given the progress that has been made across their key projects in the Corriente Copper Belt, management believes it has set the stage for the future growth of their copper and gold assets and positioned Corriente as one of the very few copper developers that can successfully transition into large scale production on its own.More
