About Castillo Copper
Castillo is focused on copper across Australia and Zambia and is embarking on a strategic transformation to morph into a mid-tier copper group underpinned by its core projects:
- A large footprint in the Mt Isa copper-belt district, northwest Queensland, which delivers significant exploration upside through having several high-grade targets and a sizeable untested anomaly within its boundaries in a copper-rich region.
- Four high-quality prospective assets across Zambia’s copper belt which is the second largest copper producer in Africa.
- A large tenure footprint proximal to Broken Hill’s world-class deposit that is prospective for cobalt-zinc-silver-lead-copper-gold and platinoids.
- Cangai Copper Mine in northern New South Wales, which is one of Australia’s highest-grading historic copper mines.
