We are joined by Thomas Schmidt, President and Director of Tribeca Resources Corporation, for an introduction to the company's copper exploration portfolio in Chile, including recent drilling success at its flagship La Higuera Project. Thomas discusses Tribeca's strategy of identifying underexplored copper systems in Chile, drawing on the team's experience at Xstrata and Glencore. With a focus on iron oxide copper-gold (IOCG) systems, Tribeca is applying geophysics-led exploration techniques to identify mineralization beneath cover and advance projects toward potential mineral resource estimates. A major focus of the conversation is the company's recent discovery at Chirsposo Sur part of the La Higuera Project. The first hole of a four-hole program returned 68 metres grading 0.52% copper and 0.16 g/t gold, confirming mineralization at a previously untested target concealed beneath approximately 20 to 30 metres of gravel cover. Thomas explains how the result supports Tribeca's exploration approach and adds another mineralized system to the project alongside the more advanced Gaby target. We also discuss the broader potential at La Higuera, where Tribeca has identified five targets and tested three to date. Thomas outlines how the company is evaluating follow-up drilling, a potential mineral resource estimate at Gaby and additional exploration opportunities, including the possibility of a future operation supported by multiple nearby mineralized systems. Finally, Thomas discusses Tribeca's approximately C$2 million cash position at the time of the interview, the company's portfolio-based approach to capital allocation and upcoming catalysts, including assays from three remaining Chirsposo Sur holes, and future exploration plans at La Higuera.
