Algo Grande Copper Corp. (TSX-V: ALGR) (OTCQB: KNDYF) is advancing a high-grade copper-silver-gold skarn discovery in the heart of Sonora, Mexico – one of the world’s premier copper & silver jurisdictions.
Backed by strong historic drilling, shallow high-grade mineralization, and district-scale upside, the project is emerging as a compelling skarn system with significant blue-sky porphyry potential at depth.
As global demand for copper accelerates, Algo Grande is positioning itself at the intersection of near-surface discovery potential, with the opportunity for a much larger porphyry copper system below.
Algo enjoys historical drill intervals of 0.7 to 6.3 meters of 1.1 to 3.1 g/t Au AND 94 to 398 g/t Ag. Au & Ag prices were much lower when those intercepts were logged.
Recent drilling (Feb. 2026) returned promising intervals incl. 1.8 m of 151 g/t Ag, and 3.5 m of 61 g/t Ag. As a by-product, 61 g/t Ag is impressive. At spot prices equal to an incremental ~1.0% Cu Eq. Likewise, 0.5 g/t Au = ~0.5% Cu Eq.
Algo Grande has a very tight capital structure, ~49M fully-diluted shares (~40% held by insiders & strategic investors, ~10% by institutions). It has secured 100% ownership of the Adelita Project, a district-scale Cu-Ag-Au play in one of the world’s premier Cu belts.
The December 2025 acquisition was sourced by the legendary, Mexico-focused, CRD/skarn expert, geo Peter Megaw (best known for co-founding MAG Silver and its world-class Juanicipio project, one of the highest-grade projects globally).
With CME front-month copper futures at $6.66/lb. — +43% in the past year — market attention is increasingly shifting toward high-grade, scalable copper discoveries, particularly those with district-scale potential.
Projects like Adelita stand out as the type of asset that could attract strategic interest from major and mid-tier mining groups. Sonora, Mexico is home to some of the world’s largest copper operations, yet deposits grading north of 1% Cu remain relatively rare.
Adelita’s high-grade copper-silver-gold skarn mineralization, combined with its broader skarn-porphyry potential, positions it within a highly sought-after category of copper assets.
Adding to the strategic backdrop, Sonora hosts some of the largest mining companies in Latin America, including Grupo México (through Southern Copper), Industrias Peñoles,
and Fresnillo plc — all of which maintain significant regional operations and infrastructure.
Mexico is also a key jurisdiction for major producers such as Agnico Eagle, Alamos Gold, Pan American Silver, First Majestic, Coeur Mining, Capstone Copper., Orla Mining, Torex Gold Resources, Fortuna Mining, and Endeavour Silver.
Newmont has assets in Mexico, but not Sonora. Most of the names listed above are not Cu producers. However, as Barrick Mining & Newmont continue to expand into Cu, others will
follow. Zijin Mining, Harmony Gold, Coeur, and Eldorado Gold are now pursuing Cu.
The mining sector is seeing a growing wave of strategic investments, partnerships, and acquisitions as major producers, many generating very substantial free cash flow, look to secure future copper supply.
The above below highlights only a fraction of the transactions completed across the sector in recent years.
Yes, Adelita is early-stage, but modestly de-risked via ~7,000 m of historical drilling, a small campaign in February, multiple high-grade Cu intercepts, and a substantial geological,
geochemical and geophysical dataset. DON’T FORGET, SUBSTANTIAL AU/AG GRADES!
The Project is near regional infrastructure; roads, smelters, power, deep-sea port, water, workers, mining services. Combine that with Sonora Mexico’s efficient permitting, creates a lower risk operating environment.
The new drilling in February placed Algo Grande off to a great start this year. Importantly, prior operators left key technical gaps; the absence of oriented core drilling, and no detailed geophysical studies or modern deposit models.
This helps explain Algo Grande’s undervaluation. See NEW corporate presentation… The team is addressing these oversights to refine the understanding of the deposit and vector toward high-value zones.
While nearby producers have lower grade Cu, Adelita’s mineralization routinely delivers 1%+ Cu, (plus meaningful Au/Ag), making it highly strategic for those seeking higher-grade feed to blend in their mills.
Adelita is a multi-target system anchored by a high-grade skarn hosted within a 6 km prospective corridor near an historical mine operated by Pan American Silver (Alamo Dorado).
The current discovery at Cerro Grande spans ~300 m with near-surface intercepts averaging ~1% Cu, 0.4g/t Au, and ~40 g/t Ag.
Recent surface work expanded the footprint, identifying additional mineralization 3 km to the south, with samples exceeding 3% Cu. One sample returned a whopping 41.4% Cu alongside 1,570 g/t Ag and 2 g/t Au.
Two porphyry targets add district-scale depth potential. Management’s strategy prioritizes expansion of the known high-grade skarn, while methodically testing the broader corridor.
Ongoing interpretation of LiDAR, magnetics, surface sampling & geological mapping is finalizing the next set of drill targets along the 6 km prospective corridor hosting the Cerro Grande deposit.
Drill mobilization & site preparation – clearing & preparation of drill sites planned during April. Phase II drilling program – planned to begin in May, with expansion drilling at Cerro Grande, plus first drilling on newly identified targets across the broader district.
Subject to more work, such a resource, supported by strong historical metallurgy, (greater than 80% recovery of Cu, Ag, Ag) could underpin a fairly high-margin underground operation with relatively low upfront cap-ex..
This near-surface, high-grade material could make Adelita an attractive acquisition or JV target. Yet, management is cashed up with no need or desire to sell or partner anywhere near the current valuation, especially as a true game-changer could lie at depth.
Geological vectors including a strong resistivity anomaly beneath the skarn, increasing molybdenum concentrations, and improving grades in deeper historical intervals point to a classic porphyry feeder system.
If we get confirmation of a significant porphyry system, that could trigger a re-rating in the valuation as investors would see substantial blue-sky potential.
Successful drilling could transform Adelita from a high-grade skarn target, to a district-scale Cu-Ag-Au asset. Phase II exploration is prudently advancing that story.
Development flexibility enhances the investment case. Option A: advance toward an underground mine leveraging high grades & strong metallurgy. Option B: position the asset for sale or JV to a nearby player.
A direct-shipping ore (“DSO”) scenario is also plausible, trucking high-grade material to nearby processing facilities for earlier cash flow, and far less upfront cap-ex, while drilling continues.
In a sector plagued by over-dilution and scattered exploration approaches, Algo Grande stands out. Recent surface results including the identification of 32 high-priority targets + bonanza-grade samples reinforce the potential for exciting near-to-medium-term news.
Algo Grande Copper (TSX-V: ALGR) / (OTCQB: KNDYF) presents a compelling new story in a Top-tier jurisdiction during a global commodities boom driven by mined Cu shortages.
A combination of high-grade skarn(near-surface, expandable), district-scale potential, a strong technical team, pristine capital structure, elevated Ag/Au showings, talks with possible strategic partners, and imminent drilling, positions the Company for an impactful 2H 2026.
Potential upside is anchored by the expansion of the skarn, possibly finding multiple skarn pods, and one or more porphyry discoveries at depth. That’s why Company insiders have been buying shares in the open market. There are multiple near-term catalysts here.
For investors seeking leveraged exposure to Cu with meaningful Ag/Au kickers, in a premier mining district, Algo Grande merits closer attention as exploration momentum builds through 2026 and beyond. See NEW May, 2026 corporate presentation…
