What is your rationale for taking part in 121 Mining Investment?
Los Cerros has an aggressive muti-target exploration program across Au, Cu and Ni underway and will be drilling at a priority gold/copper target commencing March 2023. Given the prospectivity and size of the portfolio, the Company also aims to attract JV partners to advance multiple gold-copper porphyry targets in PNG and Colombia. The Company has ~$AUD8.6M and has a live Capital Raise in March 2023 ahead of the first Kusi drill results. The Company anticipates significant value adding news flow through 2023 to drive share price growth.
What recent news would you like to highlight to investors attending?
On 25 Nov 2022 the Company announced a transformational acquisition of multiple, highly compelling Ni and Cu/Au targets in PNG and thus entered the battery space and returned to its exploration expertise while its established 2.6Moz gold Resource in Colombia advances through engineering studies.
What are your key goals for the next 3, 6 and 12 months?
3 Months:
Exploration across multiple Au., Cu and Ni targets. Secure a partner to advance other targets within the substantial portfolio
6 Months:
Define a new copper/nickel discovery and additional gold discovery
12 Months:
Drill out of new Resource target
What do you see as the key risks and challenges facing your company at the moment and how are you overcoming these?
Control of exploration costs as programs advance across mutilple targets in PNG. We have deep, local experience and minimal central overheads to ensure our shareholder funds are directed to exploration and discoveries as efficiently as possible.

Multiple compelling targets across Cu, Ni and Au with spectacular early results with a foundation of a 2.6Moz @ 1g/t gold Resource progressing through development studies.
