Fortescue Secures Full Ownership of Alta Copper and the Cañariaco Project
Fortescue Ltd (ASX: FMG) has completed the acquisition of Alta Copper Corp., gaining full ownership of the company and its flagship Cañariaco Copper Project in northern Peru. The transaction was executed through its subsidiary, Nascent Exploration Pty Ltd, via a Canadian Plan of Arrangement. Alta Copper shareholders were paid CA$1.40 in cash for each share, placing the company’s equity value at roughly CA$139 million.
With the deal finalized, Fortescue now controls the entire Cañariaco project area, which spans about 91 square kilometres within a developing porphyry copper corridor. The site hosts multiple deposits and is considered highly prospective for copper exploration and development. The acquisition strengthens Fortescue’s position in the global copper sector and aligns with its strategy to expand its exposure to critical minerals. Leveraging its operational presence in Latin America, the company intends to advance the project’s development and unlock its long-term resource potential.
