OROCO RESOURCE Business Summary

As of March 2026, Oroco Resource Corp. (ORRCF) operates as a pre-revenue mineral exploration and development firm primarily focused on the advancement of its flagship Santo Tomás porphyry copper project in Sinaloa, Mexico. The company’s business model centers on the systematic de-risking of high-tonnage copper-molybdenum assets through resource expansion and technical feasibility studies, with the ultimate goal of either transitioning to production or facilitating a strategic acquisition by a major mining house. Its primary business segments are categorized by its Mexican mineral interests, including the Core Concessions at Santo Tomás (85.5% interest), the surrounding 7,861-hectare land package (80% interest), and the Xochipala and Salvador gold-copper properties. Oroco differentiates itself through its proximity to critical infrastructure—including the Trans-Canada natural gas pipeline and the Topolobampo deep-water port—positioning it as a low-cost development candidate relative to high-altitude peers. Direct competitors in the Latin American copper exploration space include American Eagle Gold Corp, Solaris Resources, and Los Andes Copper; Oroco distinguishes itself by its advanced-stage Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) and its recent transition into Phase 2 drilling and Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) programs. The leadership team is anchored by Executive Chairman and founder Craig J. Dalziel, a resource management veteran with over 35 years of experience who previously founded US Cobalt Inc. and Southern Arc Minerals. The executive suite is led by CEO Richard Lock, a seasoned mining engineer with a pedigree in large-scale project construction, having held senior roles at Rio Tinto (Resolution Copper), PolyMet Mining, and Arizona Mining Inc. President Ian Graham contributes extensive geological expertise from his tenure at Rio Tinto and Anglo American, while CFO Steve Vanry brings 25 years of experience in capital markets and M&A. A notable recent addition to the Board of Directors is Faysal Rodriguez Valenzuela, the Senior Vice President, Mexico for Torex Gold Resources, whose deep regional ties and permitting expertise in Sinaloa provide critical local navigation. The company is backed by institutional support from Canaccord Genuity, which recently led a C$23 million financing round in early 2026 to fund the current drilling campaign.
