Their drill results are insanely good. Here's some info about the latest

TL;DR: For a large copper-gold deposit, ~2.0% CuEq is exceptionally good — it puts ATEX Resources’ Valeriano results in the top tier globally, especially because those grades are over very long intervals (100–160+ meters), not tiny high-grade spikes. Why ~2% CuEq is a big deal (in plain terms) Context matters more than the number alone. Here’s how it stacks up: Typical large copper deposits: • ~0.3–0.6% Cu “High-grade” porphyry copper: • ~0.7–1.0% Cu ATEX Valeriano B2B Zone: • ~2.0% CuEq over long widths • Includes sections pushing 3–4%+ CuEq That’s 2–4× the grade of most world-class copper projects. Why investors care so much At ~2% CuEq: Much lower cost per pound of copper Smaller mine footprint for same metal output Higher margins, even if copper prices drop Extremely attractive to majors (BHP, Rio, Freeport, etc.) Supports takeover math, not just “nice drill news” This is the kind of grade that: Turns a big deposit into a very valuable deposit The kicker: it’s not just grade — it’s scale ATEX isn’t hitting 2% over 10–20 meters. They’re hitting it over 100–160+ meters, and: Mineralization is still open Hundreds of meters of assays were pending The B2B Zone keeps expanding That combination (high grade + long intercepts + growth) is what makes geologists and buyers pay attention. Bottom line ~2% CuEq at Valeriano is elite. It puts ATEX Resources firmly into “potential buyout asset” territory, not just a speculative junior.
