    Mundoro Expands Strategic Partnership with BHP in Serbia’s Timok Copper District

    Mundoro has strengthened its long-running collaboration with BHP through a new option agreement covering seven exploration licences in Serbia’s Timok Magmatic Complex, one of the world’s premier copper districts. Announced on 13 October, the deal allows BHP to earn 100% ownership of the Central Timok Project over ten years by investing US$35 million in exploration.

    Under the terms, Mundoro will retain a 2% NSR royalty upon full earn-in, while also receiving escalating annual option payments that start at US$323,000. The company will operate the project during the exploration phase and collect annual operator fees.

    CEO Teo Dechev said the expanded partnership reflects the quality of Mundoro’s portfolio and builds on more than a decade of operational experience in the region. She emphasized that combining Mundoro’s local geological expertise with BHP’s global porphyry exploration capabilities will strengthen targeting strategies and improve the chances of making new copper discoveries in eastern Serbia.

    Alongside ongoing work in Serbia and the United States, Mundoro continues to pursue new project-generation opportunities aimed at long-term value creation for shareholders.

    Mundoro Reports Solid Q1-2025 with Strategic Focus on Copper Exploration Across Serbia, Bulgaria, and the U.S.

    Mundoro Capital Inc. (TSXV: MUN | OTCQB: MUNMF) has released its operating and financial results for Q1-2025, highlighting a strategic focus on advancing copper exploration projects in Serbia, Bulgaria, and the United States. The Company reported a stable cash position of $5.2 million with no long-term debt, and net income of $451 for the quarter.

    While total fee income dipped to $740,392, exploration and evaluation expenditures totaled $1.76 million, most of which were partner-funded. Net exploration costs for Mundoro stood at $307,875. Corporate expenses rose modestly to $296,732 due to audit fee accruals.

    Key Exploration Highlights:

    Serbia (BHP-Mundoro Partnership):

    • Borsko Project: Passive seismic and ground AMT surveys were completed with 3D inversion models expected in Q2-2025. Drill planning is underway for a new NW target area.

    • Trstenik Project: Mapping and structural analysis were completed. Delayed forestry permits have pushed drilling plans to later in 2025.

    • South Timok Projects: Ground surveys and structural interpretations advanced across several licenses, identifying new targets in covered terrains.

    Mundoro-Owned Serbian Projects:
    Holding ~419 sq km in the prolific Timok Magmatic Complex, Mundoro is progressing toward potential third-party partnerships.

    Bulgaria (JOGMEC-Mundoro):

    • The EE1 copper project faces permitting delays due to legal appeals. A planned 1,800-meter drill program is pending final government approval.

    USA Projects:

    • Dos Cabezas (AZ): Defined six porphyry targets; partner visits and fieldwork ongoing.

    • Copperopolis (AZ): Generative work confirmed porphyry-style alteration; assay results expected Q2-2025.

    • Picacho (AZ): Geochronology confirms Laramide age, reinforcing porphyry potential.

    Generative Exploration:
    Mundoro continues to explore new opportunities in Serbia’s Cretaceous/Tertiary belts, the U.S. Laramide Belt, and additional global copper trends.

    Despite reduced partner-funded programs, Mundoro remains focused on high-potential copper exploration and expanding its strategic partnerships across tier-one mineral belts.
