Luca Mining Corporation (QX) (LUCMF)

Posted on behalf of Luca Mining - Tahuehueto drilling confirmed the high-grade Creston breccia vein extends below Level 20: 12 of 14 holes hit the down-plunge extension, only two missed.

DDH26-246 cut 4.7 m of 6.73 g/t AuEq (3.35 g/t Au, 109.05 g/t Ag, 0.68% Cu, 0.20% Pb, 12.06% Zn), including 0.6 m of 14.80 g/t AuEq. DDH26-SU-14 returned 4.5 m of 4.21 g/t AuEq.

VP Exploration Paul D. Gray: "Management's interpretation that mineralization continued below Level 20 has now been confirmed, with results exceeding our expectations."

Zones sit near a mill averaging over 1,050 tpd through April and May. Follow-up program planned before year end. LUCA.v, LUCMF.

Posted on behalf of Luca Mining - Today's Tahuehueto results give the two-mine Mexican producer higher-grade feed right beside a mill already running: 47 metres of 6.7 g/t AuEq, with hole-by-hole gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc in the full release. LUCA.v, LUCMF.

The mine has been in commercial production since March 2025, averaging over 1,050 tpd through April and May (Jun 8, 2026 update). Recent near-mine intercepts exceed current mined grades, and Luca says portions of the newly identified zones can enter resource models and production within a year (May 5, 2026 NR).

This is part of the three-year, US$25M, 80,000-metre program across both mines, now past 40,260 m drilled, with 10,052 m done in Q1 2026 alone (May 26, 2026 Q1 results). Higher-grade tonnes through the same mill feed the company-stated 200,000 AuEq oz per year target.

Posted on behalf of Luca Mining - Drill results get the attention, but the balance sheet is the quieter story at LUCA.v, LUCMF. Very few TSXV producers can buy back their own stock. Luca now can.

Per the May 26, 2026 results, Q1 revenue was $57.6M (up 40% YoY), net earnings $12.6M, adjusted EBITDA $25.4M and operating cash flow $21.6M. Cash rose 43% to $36.4M at March 31 from $25.5M at year-end 2025, even after $10.9M in sustaining and exploration capex. Debt sat near $1.4M, targeted for full repayment by mid-2026 (Apr 21, 2026 NR).

On May 14, 2026 Luca launched its first-ever NCIB to buy back up to 13,750,000 shares (about 5% outstanding), running May 21, 2026 to May 20, 2027 at market prices.

Two producing Mexican mines fund the US$25M three-year drill program, underground capex and the buyback, all without new equity.

Posted on behalf of Luca Mining -
Campo Morado grabs the drill headlines, but Tahuehueto, Luca's underground gold-silver mine in Durango, Mexico, may be the more underappreciated piece. LUCA.v, LUCMF has identified more than 11 km of prospective vein structures along strike, versus roughly 4.5 km in the current resource model. This campaign is the first substantive drilling on the property in over 12 years.

Recent hits: DDH26-SU-07 cut 6.8 m of 5.54 g/t AuEq, including 1.0 m of 22.35 g/t AuEq (May 5, 2026 NR). These sit within development distance of existing workings, so success can convert to mill feed fast.

Posted on behalf of Luca Mining - The latest Campo Morado batch is the reason for this post: surface hole CMRY-26-10 cut 28.4 m of 2.28 g/t Au, 134.89 g/t Ag, 0.57% Cu, 0.95% Pb and 3.69% Zn from 104.2 m, expanding the unmined El Rey zone at LUCA.v, LUCMF's Guerrero VMS mine.

In the unmined Naranjo zone, underground hole CMUG-26-44 returned 19.6 m of 2.78 g/t Au, 103.12 g/t Ag, 0.52% Cu, 0.67% Pb and 2.75% Zn, and CMUG-26-42 cut 20.6 m of 3.05 g/t Au, 50.69 g/t Ag, 0.65% Cu, 0.43% Pb and 1.57% Zn. Naranjo runs over 540 m long and up to 210 m wide (Jun 23, 2026 NR).

This is a two-mine Mexican producer selling into gold above $4,100 and silver over $60. Campo Morado runs around 1,900 tpd; Tahuehueto, in commercial production since March 2025, runs above 1,050 tpd. The drilling is squarely near-mine, feeding a company-stated medium-term target of 200,000 AuEq oz a year, anchored by a US$25M, three-year, 80,000 m program (November 2025 release).

Posted on behalf of Luca Mining - Most juniors are still drilling a story into this metals tape. Luca (LUCA.v, LUCMF) is already pulling gold, silver, copper, zinc and lead from two producing Mexican mines and selling the whole basket into strength: gold near $4,000/oz, silver just under $60, copper firm above $6/lb.

Campo Morado is a polymetallic VMS mine in Guerrero (around 1,900 tpd). Tahuehueto is an epithermal gold-silver mine in Durango (over 1,050 tpd), in commercial production since March 2025.

The cash backs it up: 2025 revenue of $176.8M, more than double the prior year, and $36.4M in cash at the end of Q1 2026 (April 21 NR).

With three rigs at Campo Morado expanding El Rey and Naranjo beside the mill, and management targeting 200,000 gold-equivalent ounces a year over the medium term, there's steady newsflow ahead.

Full details here: https://lucamining.com/2026/06/luca-intersects-28-4-metres-of-2-3-g-t-gold-135-g-t-silver-0-6-copper-1-lead-and-3-7-zinc-at-the-el-rey-zone-campo-morado-mine/

Posted on behalf of Luca Mining - The June 23 Campo Morado results out of Guerrero, Mexico got read mostly as El Rey news, but the zone worth a closer look is Naranjo: an unmined deposit Luca keeps drilling right next to a mill it already runs (LUCA.v, LUCMF). Two producing mines in Mexico mean this is exploration adding ounces beside existing infrastructure, not a greenfield bet.

Naranjo runs over 540 m long, up to 210 m wide, averaging about 60 m. Recent unmined hits there:

- CMUG-26-44: 19.6 m of 2.78 g/t Au, 103.12 g/t Ag, 0.52% Cu, 0.67% Pb, 2.75% Zn from 40.5 m

- CMUG-26-42: 20.6 m of 3.05 g/t Au, 50.69 g/t Ag, 0.65% Cu, 0.43% Pb, 1.57% Zn from 41.5 m

El Rey kept expanding too, with surface hole CMRY-26-10 cutting 28.4 m of 2.28 g/t Au, 134.89 g/t Ag, 0.57% Cu, 0.95% Pb, 3.69% Zn from 104.2 m.

With gold near $4,000 and silver near $59, those precious-metal credits carry real weight in a base-metals system. To date: 52 underground holes (12,035 m) plus 68 surface holes (16,535 m), three rigs running, with focus on Estrella de Oro and Naranjo and underground targeting A9, Muneco, Bajo and Fish for the 2026-2028 mine plans. The question is less discovery risk than how fast these zones feed a mine Luca already operates, with more batched assays still due.

Full details here: https://lucamining.com/2026/06/luca-intersects-28-4-metres-of-2-3-g-t-gold-135-g-t-silver-0-6-copper-1-lead-and-3-7-zinc-at-the-el-rey-zone-campo-morado-mine/

Posted on behalf of Luca Mining - The headline from this week's Campo Morado results was a thick El Rey intercept, but the more telling read for a producer is what sits behind it: three rigs turning, nearly 29,000 metres drilled, and a queue of unmined zones still to report (LUCA.v, LUCMF).

Two producing mines in Mexico, with drilling aimed at adding ounces next to infrastructure Luca already operates. Gold near $4,100 and silver around $60 give the precious-metal credits in this polymetallic system real weight.

The June 23 hits:
- El Rey surface CMRY-26-10: 28.4 m of 2.28 g/t gold, 134.89 g/t silver, 0.57% copper, 0.95% lead, 3.69% zinc from 104.2 m.
- Naranjo underground CMUG-26-44: 19.6 m of 2.78 g/t gold, 103.12 g/t silver, 0.52% copper, 0.67% lead, 2.75% zinc.
- Naranjo underground CMUG-26-42: 20.6 m of 3.05 g/t gold, 50.69 g/t silver, 0.65% copper, 0.43% lead, 1.57% zinc.

The program: two surface rigs plus one underground, 16,535 m across 68 surface holes and 12,035 m across 52 underground holes. Campo Morado also holds a proprietary database of 600,000-plus historical metres now being reinterpreted to prioritize 38-plus targets.

El Rey and Naranjo are both unmined, both close to existing workings, and both being evaluated for the long-term Campo Morado plan. With more assays in the pipeline, there's room to keep converting newsflow into mineable ounces beside a mine that's already producing.

Full details here: https://lucamining.com/2026/06/luca-intersects-28-4-metres-of-2-3-g-t-gold-135-g-t-silver-0-6-copper-1-lead-and-3-7-zinc-at-the-el-rey-zone-campo-morado-mine/

Posted on behalf of Luca Mining - The June 23, 2026 drill results from the Campo Morado VMS mine in Guerrero, Mexico pull high-grade gold and silver from zones that have never been mined. Since this is a producing operation, these are ounces sitting next to existing infrastructure. With gold near $4,000 and silver near $58, the precious-metals credits in this base-metals system carry weight (LUCA.v, LUCMF).

The headline is surface hole CMRY-26-10 at the unmined El Rey zone: 28.4 m of 2.28 g/t Au, 134.89 g/t Ag, 0.57% Cu, 0.95% Pb and 3.69% Zn from 104.2 m. The hit expanded the mineralized footprint and feeds the case to fold El Rey into the long-term mine plan.

The unmined Naranjo zone delivered thick intercepts too. Underground hole CMUG-26-44 cut 19.6 m of 2.78 g/t Au, 103.12 g/t Ag, 0.52% Cu, 0.67% Pb and 2.75% Zn from 40.5 m. CMUG-26-42 cut 20.6 m of 3.05 g/t Au, 50.69 g/t Ag, 0.65% Cu, 0.43% Pb and 1.57% Zn from 41.5 m. Naranjo runs over 540 m long, up to 210 m wide, averaging roughly 60 m.

VP Exploration Paul D. Gray pointed to "the untapped potential of two of several unmined areas on the Campo Morado Property, El Rey and Naranjo." These sit close to current development headings and tie back to Luca's medium-term target of 200,000 gold-equivalent ounces a year, with rigs still turning across multiple zones.

Posted on behalf of Luca Mining Corp. - (TSXV: LUCA | OTCQX: LUCMF | FSE: Z68) has provided an operations and corporate update highlighting continued optimization at its Campo Morado and Tahuehueto mines — supported by strong Q1 financial performance and strengthened operational leadership.

Operational Momentum

Under new COO Nick Shakesby, appointed in April, Luca has accelerated initiatives aimed at improving mill performance, throughput, and mining efficiency at both operations.

Campo Morado

• Surface stockpile increased to ~63,000 tonnes (vs. <12,000 tonnes at Dec 31, 2025)


• Average mill throughput of ~1,900 tpd in April–May


• Improved mine planning and contractor performance (Cominvi)

The expanded stockpile enhances feed blending flexibility, which is expected to improve metallurgical recoveries and support further optimization programs.

Tahuehueto

• Milling rates averaging >1,050 tpd in April–May

• >5% increase over Q1 2026

• Improved mining rates driven by contractor La Cantera

• Increased mill availability and operational consistency

Management noted that the recent operational adjustments are designed to derisk performance and unlock additional efficiency gains at both sites.

https://ceo.ca/@newswire/luca-provides-operations-and-corporate-update

Posted on behalf of Luca Mining Corp. - Luca continues to show what an operational turnaround looks like in practice.

Q1 2026:

• Revenue +40% to $57.6M
• EBITDA +160% to $19.7M
• Adj. EBITDA +99% to $25.4M
• Operating cash flow: $21.6M
• Cash increased 43% to $36.4M

Operationally, both mines are trending higher:

• Campo Morado stockpiles grew from 1,050 tpd, above Q1 levels

What stands out is that Luca generated enough cash flow to fund $10.9M of sustaining and exploration capex while still growing its treasury.

With higher stockpiles, improving throughput, and a strengthened balance sheet, the company appears focused on turning operational consistency into long-term cash flow growth.

Posted on behalf of Luca Mining - The most overlooked piece of the Luca Mining (TSXV: LUCA, OTCQX: LUCMF) story right now isn't the record cash flow or the high-grade drill hits. It's what the company is re-engineering at its flagship Campo Morado mine. There's a study underway designed to pull more gold and silver out of an orebody Luca is already mining.

The flagship catalyst: Campo Morado Expansion (CME)

Back in February, Luca's board approved a mill optimization and expansion study plus a mine plan update, with Ausenco, a global leader in metallurgical design, flotation and precious metals recovery, selected as the technical third-party engineer to lead a two-phase optimization and expansion project (see Feb 18, 2026 NR).

Phase 1 is a bulk sulphide flotation flowsheet with added ultra-fine grinding capacity to achieve a target grind size of 8 to 10 microns, down from current operational levels around 15 microns, to sharpen separation and produce cleaner copper and zinc concentrates.

Phase 2 evaluates a tailings product of pyrite-associated gold and silver for further processing, going after precious metals that currently aren't fully captured.

Why it matters:

Campo Morado is a VMS mine, and the gold and silver locked in pyrite has historically been the hardest value to recover. Phase 2 targets exactly that.

The life-of-mine plan will evaluate the currently unmined high-grade Reforma and El Rey deposits.

A Mineral Reserve statement will be delivered in the NI 43-101 technical report, expected in the second half of 2026.

Given existing grid power and transformer capacity, the company does not expect power costs to be a primary sensitivity under the Phase 1 flowsheet.

The backdrop:

Gold is trading around $4,350 an ounce, still roughly 29% higher than a year ago.

Luca isn't waiting on the tape. Two producing mines, Campo Morado in Guerrero and Tahuehueto in Durango, already generate the cash to fund this work, with the company pointing to a medium-term target of 200,000 AuEq oz/yr.

For a mine that already produces gold and silver as byproduct credits, a study built to recover more of both, layered on top of a fresh reserve and the Reforma and El Rey ounces, sets up H2 2026 as the moment the market gets to re-underwrite what Campo Morado is really worth.

First, unlocking massive precious metal value at the Campo Morado mine by transitioning to higher-grade deposits and implementing metallurgical upgrades.

Second, an upcoming step-down in their Tahuehueto silver stream obligation that is projected to add $20 million in incremental free cash flow by 2028.

Finally, the company is actively evaluating M&A opportunities to acquire and turn around additional underperforming assets in Mexico.

Posted on behalf of Luca Mining Corp. -From Turnaround to Shareholder Returns: Luca Mining (TSXV: LUCA) Launches 5% NCIB with $36M Cash & Debt-Free Path

(TSXV: LUCA | OTCQX: LUCMF) is entering a new capital allocation phase — pairing balance sheet strength with direct shareholder returns.

NCIB Launched

Luca has announced its intention to initiate a Normal Course Issuer Bid (NCIB) to repurchase up to 13,750,000 common shares, representing approximately 5% of shares outstanding.

The bid is expected to run from May 21, 2026 to May 20, 2027, unless completed earlier.

Management and the Board have stated clearly: the current share price does not reflect the company’s underlying value — particularly considering:

• Strong and growing free cash flow

• Self-funded expansion capability

• The replacement value of two producing Mexican mines

Balance Sheet Transformation

The financial turnaround has been material.

• Cash grew from ~$1M (end of 2023) to $25.5M (FY2025)

• Debt reduced from ~$30M to $1.4M

• By Q1 2026, cash increased further to $36.5M

• Luca is on track to be debt free this quarter

Management has emphasized cash growth and disciplined capital management — without returning to equity markets.

Exploration Through 2027

A $25M multi-year exploration program is underway with six drills turning at Tahuehueto and Campo Morado. The focus: extend mine life, grow resources, and target higher-grade zones to support margin expansion.

Cost & Margin Strategy

• Tahuehueto: Record throughput and improving grade consistency targeting lower unit costs

• Campo Morado: Metallurgical recovery optimization under strengthened technical leadership

Strategic Shift

With debt nearly eliminated, a declining silver stream burden, rising commodity prices, and steady exploration catalysts ahead, Luca is transitioning from balance sheet repair to growth — and now adding share buybacks as a signal of confidence.

Debt reduction. Cash growth. Drill-driven expansion. Capital returns.

Luca is positioning itself as a self-funded growth story with increasing leverage to metals prices and operational upside.

Posted on behalf of Luca Mining Corp. – Luca Mining (LUCA.v LUCMF) recently reported new high-grade drill results from its ongoing 2026 exploration program at the Tahuehueto gold-silver mine in Mexico, with drilling continuing to confirm near-mine expansion potential and previously untested mineralized zones that management believes could be incorporated into future mine plans within a year: https://lucamining.com/2026/05/luca-intersects-6-8-metres-of-5-5-g-t-gold-equivalent-at-tahuehueto-mine-further-expanding-high-grade-mineralization-proximal-to-existing-workings/

With multiple rigs active, expanding exploration budgets, and new targets continuing to deliver strong results, LUCA believes Tahuehueto still hosts significant near-mine growth potential capable of supporting future resource and production expansion.

Posted on behalf of Luca Mining Corp. - LUCA.v; LUCMF
Luca Mining Corp. has announced its intention to launch a Normal Course Issuer Bid (NCIB), a strategic share buyback program designed to return value to its shareholders.

The company intends to repurchase up to 13,750,000 common shares, representing approximately 5% of its currently issued and outstanding stock.

The NCIB is expected to commence on May 21, 2026, and will terminate on May 20, 2027, or on an earlier date in the event that the maximum number of Common Shares sought under the NCIB have been repurchased.

Management and the Board of Directors firmly believe that the current share price does not adequately reflect Luca's underlying value—particularly when factoring in the strong free cash flow generation, the ability to self-fund expansion, and the replacement value of its two producing Mexican mines.

In a recent interview, Luca Mining CEO Dan Barnholden explained how the company is rapidly executing a turnaround strategy at its two operating mines in Mexico, focusing on optimization, exploration, and expansion.

In the interview, Barnholden highlighted several major catalysts driving the company forward, including:

Debt Free Production: The company is generating strong free cash flow, adding $20 million to its balance sheet over the last two quarters. After aggressively paying down legacy liabilities, Luca expects to be completely debt-free by the end of July.

Mill Optimization: Throughput at the Tahuehueto mine recently hit a record 1,350 tonnes per day. Meanwhile, at Campo Morado, the team is advancing plans for an ultrafine grind circuit designed to substantially increase precious metal recoveries.

Aggressive Exploration: Backed by a newly approved $25 million exploration budget, Luca currently has six drills turning across both properties. This ensures a steady stream of news flow for investors as the company targets major resource expansion.

Last week, Luca Mining reported encouraging new assay results from its 2026 drilling program at the Tahuehueto mine in Mexico.

The latest drilling intersected high-grade gold mineralization in newly identified breccia zones located just below current mine workings, strongly supporting near-term resource expansion.

Standout intercepts included 6.8 metres grading 5.54 g/t AuEq. Because these intercepts occur within development distance of existing underground infrastructure, Luca expects to readily include these new zones in near-term mine plans.

Looking ahead, Luca's 2026 exploration program is designed to aggressively expand the vertical and lateral extent of this mineralization.

With over 11 kilometres of prospective vein structures identified along strike and at least 14 additional prospective veins documented, investors can look forward to significant exploration upside as the drill rigs continue turning.

Posted on behalf of Luca Mining Corp. - Luca Mining Accelerates Gold Exploration with 6 Rigs and US$25M Three-Year Plan – Debt Nearly Eliminated, Cash Flow Funding Resource Growth

(TSX-V: LUCA) CEO Dan Barnholden joined VSA Capital’s Ollie O’Donnell to discuss FY25 results, Q1 2026 production, and the roadmap through 2027.

Setting the Stage

Luca marks one year as a multi-mine operator, with FY25 and Q1/26 results underscoring a material financial turnaround

FY25 Transformation vs FY23

• Q4 generated >US$20M in free cash flow

• FY25 year-end cash: ~US$25.5M

• Q1 2026 cash: ~US$36.5M

• Debt reduced from ~US$30M (FY23) to ~US$1.4M, with full repayment expected this quarter

A near mirror-image balance sheet shift in two years.

Exploration Through 2027

• US$7.5M drill budget in 2026

• Three-year, US$25M exploration plan

• Six rigs turning across both assets

• Silver stream expected to materially reduce by late 2027/early 2028, unlocking incremental cash flow

Debt-Free & Cash Accretive

Management emphasizes cash growth as the core performance metric — with no equity raise on the horizon

Share Price vs Commodity Leverage

Despite zinc, copper, gold, and silver strength, management believes LUCA’s operational cash generation is not yet reflected in the share price

Accounting Loss vs Operational Profitability

The reported net loss was largely driven by accounting treatment of the silver stream. Operationally, Tahuehueto remains cash generative, with ~700,000 oz remaining on the stream

Shareholder Value Actions

A structured silver call strategy in Q1 crystallized >US$3M in gains, directly enhancing the cash balance

Cost Optimization:

Tahuehueto

• New COO appointed

• Throughput record: 1,350 tpd (nameplate 1,200 tpd)

• Improving grade consistency (~4 g/t AuEq)

• Near-mine higher-grade intercepts identified

Cost Optimization: Campo Morado

• Metallurgical recovery improvements underway

• New PhD metallurgist hired

• Expansion study targeting improved gold and silver recovery in H2 2026

Exploration Acceleration

Six drills turning across both mines aim to extend mine life, grow resources, and potentially improve grade profiles

Newsflow Through 2027

2026 focus:

• Aggressive exploration

• Campo Morado expansion initiatives

• Ongoing cash growth

• Active M&A targeting a potential third asset

FY25 repositioned Luca from leveraged developer to cash-generating multi-asset producer. With debt nearly eliminated, exploration fully funded, cost optimization underway, and silver stream relief approaching by 2027, management is focused on compounding cash flow and expanding the platform.

Posted on behalf of Luca Mining Corp. -Luca Mining Strikes Gold: 118m @ 2.53 g/t Au & 100m+ High-Grade Hits Expand Near-Mine at Campo Morado


LUCA has intersected broad, high-grade polymetallic mineralization in the unmined Largo Norte zone at its Campo Morado VMS mine in Guerrero, Mexico — immediately adjacent to active underground workings.

Headline Intercepts – Largo Norte

• CMUG-26-38: 118.2m @ 2.53 g/t Au, 77.89 g/t Ag, 0.76% Cu, 0.57% Pb, 1.99% Zn

Incl. 20.8m @ 4.02 g/t Au, 180.72 g/t Ag, 2.02% Pb, 3.90% Zn

• CMUG-26-39: 100.7m @ 2.80 g/t Au, 90.72 g/t Ag, 0.59% Cu, 0.71% Pb, 2.59% Zn

Incl. 35.1m @ 3.99 g/t Au, 131.32 g/t Ag

• CMUG-26-37: 77.1m @ 2.31 g/t Au, 47.05 g/t Ag, 0.77% Cu

• CMUG-26-41: 71.0m @ 1.57 g/t Au, 20.12 g/t Ag, 0.72% Cu

Entire intercept lies outside the current Largo Norte resource, expanding mineralization ~20m beyond prior limits

The Largo Norte Zone is a ~650m-long, shallow south-dipping VMS body ranging 20–60m in thickness. This season’s six underground holes have materially increased confidence and extended mineralization in this under-drilled area.

Why It Matters

• Broad widths with strong gold-silver enrichment

• Mineralization proximal to existing underground infrastructure

• Direct potential to add mineable tonnes to the 2026–2028 mine plan

This marks the first meaningful exploration campaign at Campo Morado since 2014. To date:

• 47 underground holes (10,880m) completed

• 44 surface holes (11,570m) at Reforma, El Rey and other targets

• 38+ exploration targets identified across the concession

Drilling continues with two surface rigs and one underground rig targeting Largo, Largo Norte, Naranjo, Fish, Reforma and El Rey — all contributing to near- and medium-term production planning.

Luca is demonstrating the ability to grow high-grade resources from within existing workings at Campo Morado. Broad, gold-rich VMS intercepts at Largo Norte provide a clear pathway to expand mineable inventory while leveraging established infrastructure — a high-impact combination for near-term value creation.

Posted on behalf of Luca Mining Corp. - LUCA.v; LUCMF In a new interview with VSA Capital, Luca Mining CEO Dan Barnholden broke down the company's FY25 results, strong Q1 2026 production numbers, and the strategic roadmap heading into 2027.

Barnholden detailed aggressive cost-reduction strategies currently being implemented at both the Tahuehueto and Campo Morado mines.

By optimizing these assets and driving profitability, management has set a clear, near-term goal to become completely debt-free while rapidly growing their cash balance.

This update comes right after the company's promising drill results at Campo Morado, where they recently intersected 118 metres of 2.53 g/t gold and 78.0 g/t silver at the unmined Largo Norte zone.

Backed by strengthening financials, Barnholden emphasized that Luca is fully funded for extensive exploration. With drilling planned continuously until late 2027, investors can expect a steady stream of highly anticipated news flow as the company actively unlocks further shareholder value.
