Libero Copper & Gold Business Summary

Copper Giant Resources Corp. (formerly Libero Copper & Gold Corp.) is a mineral exploration and development company primarily focused on the acquisition and advancement of district-scale porphyry copper and molybdenum assets in the Americas. The company’s business model centers on creating value through resource expansion and project de-risking rather than immediate production revenue, currently sustaining operations through strategic equity financings, including a $12 million placement in early 2026. Its primary business segments are categorized by its geographical project clusters: the flagship Mocoa project in Colombia, which hosts a world-class inferred resource of 1.12 billion tonnes; the Esperanza copper-gold project in Argentina; and the Big Red and Big Bulk properties in British Columbia’s Golden Triangle. Within the competitive landscape, Copper Giant contends with junior explorers such as NorthIsle Copper and Gold, Minera Alamos, and Giant Mining Corp., distinguishing itself as a high-leverage tier-1 scale play with a significant molybdenum byproduct credit that aligns with global electrification and AI-driven infrastructure demand. The company is led by President and CEO Ian Harris, a mining engineer with over 25 years of experience who previously served as Senior Vice President for Corriente Resources, where he was instrumental in the $690 million sale of the Mirador mine. Technical operations are overseen by Vice President of Exploration Edwin Naranjo Sierra, a specialist in porphyry systems promoted in 2025, while financial strategy is managed by CFO Aaron Triplett. The leadership team is bolstered by the Fiore Group, with legendary mining financier Frank Giustra serving as the largest shareholder at approximately 14% ownership. The board of directors features high-pedigree industry veterans, including Mark Gibson, former COO of Ivanhoe Electric, and Ernie Mast, the former CEO of Cobre Panama, providing the company with rare institutional expertise in transitioning large-scale deposits from discovery toward construction.
