Fuerte Metals Corporation, formerly Atacama Copper Corporation, is a Canada-based resource company adding value through the acquisition, exploration, and development of copper and precious metals projects in the Americas. The Company is focused on Placeton/Caballa Muerto copper project in Chile and the Christina & Yecora projects in Mexico. In Chile, the Placeton/Caballo Muerto project hosts several untested porphyry copper targets situated between the large-scale Relincho and El Morro/La Fortuna copper-gold deposits of the Nueva Union joint venture between Teck and Newmont Mining. The Cristina deposit is an epithermal to mesothermal vein system where the mineralization is predominantly gold and silver, with lesser base metal values. The Yecora project consists of multiple tourmaline Breccia bodies carrying copper-silver-molybdenum mineralization, and high-grade copper-silver veins. Its El Cofre project has 7,628 hectares of exploitation claims and 1,100 hectares of exploration claims.
