— 001 / Overview

A one-hundred-percent-owned exploration project in the same belt that hosts Chile’s largest copper deposits.

Approximately seven thousand six hundred hectares of contiguous claim blocks, held one hundred percent by RIMAQ, sit five kilometres northeast of Copiapó in the heart of Chile’s Atacama copper belt — the same geologic and structural setting that hosts the El Salvador and Potrerillos copper mines, roughly fifty kilometres to the northeast.

  • One hundred percent interest in contiguous claim blocks
  • Five kilometres northeast of Copiapó, with excellent infrastructure access
  • Same geologic setting as El Salvador and Potrerillos

Tamarugo.

Red ochre Atacama desert ridges near Copiapó, northern Chile.

Discovery potential in the same belt that hosts Chile’s largest copper porphyry deposits.

Contiguous claim blocks, held one hundred percent, five kilometres northeast of Copiapó — with excellent access to power, water and road. Surface samples from outcropping mineralisation grade up to three percent copper.

— 002 / The Belt

The Atacama copper belt.

Chile is the world’s largest producer of copper. The Atacama belt, running along the country’s northern spine, hosts some of the largest and longest-lived copper porphyry deposits ever discovered. Tamarugo sits within the same geologic and structural setting as El Salvador and Potrerillos — two producing mines roughly fifty kilometres to the northeast.
