Mundoro Capital Inc. used the PDAC 2026 conference in Toronto to outline its exploration strategy focused on copper projects in Eastern Europe and the United States, emphasising the company’s use of a “generator” model designed to advance exploration while limiting shareholder dilution.
Speaking during the event, Chief Executive Officer Teo Dechev explained that the generator model allows the company to assemble prospective land packages and develop exploration targets before bringing in larger mining companies to fund drilling and project development. This approach reduces the need for continuous equity financing while enabling exploration to move forward through partnerships.
Mundoro Capital focuses primarily on copper opportunities in regions with strong geological potential. The company currently concentrates its exploration activities in Serbia and Arizona, where it identifies and secures land positions, compiles geological data and generates exploration targets before partnering with major mining companies.
According to Dechev, option agreements with industry partners provide funding that can be reinvested into developing additional exploration opportunities. The strategy allows the company to build a pipeline of projects while sharing financial risk with larger operators.
One of the most significant examples of this approach is Mundoro’s Serbian portfolio in the Timok region, a well-known copper district in eastern Serbia. The company has assembled approximately 940 square kilometres of prospective ground in the area and entered into multiple agreements with global mining company BHP.
Under the partnership, BHP is expected to carry out systematic drilling campaigns across several exploration targets during the year, a development Dechev described as a major step forward for advancing the district’s copper potential.
