Recent Transaction Activity

The extent of major transactions at both the project & corporate level across the metallogenic Andean mineral belts of Peru & Ecuador have markedly increased since early 2018. As an early mover into Northern Peru following the emergence of Ecuador as a world-class mineral exploration region, Fidelity Minerals is well placed to become a key player in this highly prospective region flanked by world-class projects to the south and newer discovery and corporate activity to the north in Ecuador. The relevance of the Company’s Strategic Project Generator model has been validated by recent corporate transactions, including numerous project-level transactions in Ecuador and Southern Peru where the majors have aggressively acquired or sought to acquire large-scale copper and gold targets. The recent merger proposal by BHP to acquire Anglo American, in large part for its newly developed Peruvian Quellaveco porphyry copper mine is illustrative of the high potential for new project development in Peru.

Due to recent exploration success in both Peru and Ecuador at a time where large resources are becoming harder to discover in other parts of the world, the North Andean region is experiencing increased interest by major mining companies.
