  • NGEx Minerals has reported past results from five Phase 4 drill holes at its 100% owned Lunahuasi copper-gold-silver project in San Juan, Argentina, including thick intervals with multi-metal copper equivalent grades calculated using assumed prices of US$3.00/lb copper, US$1,500/oz gold and US$18/oz silver.
  • The presence of very high copper equivalent grades over both short and long intervals across several holes underscores the continuity and intensity of mineralization being outlined at Lunahuasi.
  • We’ll now examine how these extensive high-grade Lunahuasi intercepts shape NGEx Minerals’ investment narrative and the project’s perceived potential scale.

What Is NGEx Minerals' Investment Narrative?

To own NGEx Minerals today, you really have to believe that Lunahuasi can mature into a globally relevant copper‑gold‑silver system and ultimately justify a premium, pre‑revenue valuation. The latest Phase 4 drill results, with thick, high‑grade CuEq intervals from multiple holes, strengthen the geological case and should support Lunahuasi remaining the core short‑term catalyst as the remaining Phase 4 assays land and Phase 5 drilling is defined. At the same time, these results do not remove the big near‑term risks: sustained losses with no revenue, a relatively new management team, heavy reliance on equity markets to fund ongoing drilling, and permitting and execution risk in Argentina. The new intercepts sharpen the story, but they also raise the bar on delivering a clear path from discovery to a de‑risked project.

However, one key risk around funding and dilution is easy to overlook at first glance. NGEx Minerals' shares have been on the rise but are still potentially undervalued. Find out how large the opportunity might be.
