Wedoany.com Report-Dec.28, Super Copper Corp. (CSE: CUPR) announced on Wednesday,  that it has received approval from Chile's National Mining Authority (SERNAGEOMIN) for 26 mining concessions at its flagship Cordillera Cobre copper project. These concessions cover approximately 6,858 hectares in the Atacama copper belt.

The company has completed the most technical and challenging phase of the Chilean mining rights process. The 26 exploitation concessions forming the Cordillera Cobre claim block have been fully approved by the National Geology and Mining Service.

Of these, 25 concessions have received formal court resolutions establishing them, and 15 have had their legal extracts published in the official mining gazette. Registration in the Copiapó mining registry is now in progress.

Once registration concludes, each concession will become a legally constituted exploitation concession. This grants full and permanent mining rights, moving beyond exploration-only permissions.

Zachary Dolesky, CEO of Super Copper, said: "This is a critical milestone for Super Copper. Securing exploitation concessions, not just exploration rights, gives full and permanent mining rights at Cordillera Cobre."

He added: “With the title process effectively complete and registration progressing as planned, we are positioned to submit our drill program promptly upon finalizing results from our most recent exploration work. This positions Super Copper to advance one of the most exciting new copper projects in the Atacama region, at a time when global copper demand is entering a major structural deficit.”

The Cordillera Cobre project is located in Chile's Atacama Region, a well-established mining area with strong infrastructure and proximity to major operations. The approval clears the path for the company to proceed with planned exploration and potential development activities.

Super Copper operates through a joint venture structure for the project. The concession applications were submitted by the joint venture partner, Gardner Y Esteffan Limitada, under an agreement dated September 1, 2023. Super Copper maintains management control and decision-making authority for exploration and development.

In July 2025, Super Copper entered into a deal to acquire 100% of the Castilla copper project. This added a 5,800-hectare land package in the same Atacama region, near the historic Manto Negro mine, further expanding the company's footprint in a prospective copper district.

The milestones reflect Super Copper's progress in securing and advancing copper assets in a key mining jurisdiction. The company focuses on exploration and consolidation to build value amid growing global interest in copper resources.

With approvals in place and registration advancing, Super Copper anticipates submitting its drilling notice to SERNAGEOMIN soon, including provisions for up to 40 drill platforms under the simplified procedure.

This development strengthens the company's position to contribute to meeting future copper needs through responsible exploration in an established mining area.
