During 2025 sixteen companies presented copper results from drilling programs in twenty deposits located in nine states.
By a fair margin the best drill intercept was presented by Torex Gold at its Media Luna East deposit within its Morelos Complex in Guerrero. Although most of copper production in Mexico comes from porphyry copper deposits, in the period only two companies presented results from drilling campaigns in the distal epithermal parts of that type of systems.
Intermediate sulfidation deposits are the most numerous in the table below, particularly in the bottom half, with nine deposits comprised by La Colorada (Zacatecas), Alamos Silver (Sonora), Tahuehueto (Durango), Don David (Oaxaca), Los Gatos (Chihuahua), Plomosas-San Marcial (Sinaloa), El Tigre (Sonora), Pitarrilla (Durango) and La Reyna (Nayarit). Gran Pilar/El Pilar (Sonora) and Cristina are the intermediate sulfidation deposits linked to distal parts of porphyry copper systems.
Skarns systems display the second most common mineralization copper bearing intercepts, comprised by Media Luna East (Guerrero), ELG Underground (Guerrero), Bolivar (Chihuahua, El Limon Sur (Guerrero), and Media Luna West (Guerrero). Cerro Las Minitas (Durango) presents skarn and carbonate replacement deposits (CRD) mineralization, while Camino Rojo displays skarn, CRD and intermediate sulfidation epithermal mineralization.
La Huerta (Jalisco) is the only iron-oxide-copper-gold (IOCG) deposit in the table, and Campo Morado (Guerrero) the only representative of the volcanogenic massive sulfides (VMS) category.
